Grand Escape (Movie Edit)

It’s a grand and beautiful song that makes you want to soar into the sky.

Created by the rock band RADWIMPS and sung by vocalist Toko Miura, it was produced as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film “Weathering With You” and included on the album “Weathering With You,” released in July 2019.

The lyrics express a strong resolve to break free from the stifling feeling of everyday life and carve out a future together with someone precious.

From its quiet beginning to a chorus that bursts open like a release, the song grips the listener’s heart and doesn’t let go.

If you listen while gazing up at the vast sky, you’ll surely feel courage welling up inside.

RADWIMPS – Kokoro no Naka Movie (StayHome ver.)

This song captivates the heart with RADWIMPS’ crystal-clear vocals.

Released on social media in June 2020, it carries a message of hope born during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Its powerful words, filled with the wish for everyday life to return, give listeners the courage to look forward even in difficult times.

The lyrics, shining with Yojiro Noda’s delicate sensibility, harmonize beautifully with a simple yet deeply resonant melody.

It’s a song I especially want those going through tough periods to hear—it will surely become a source of support.

G Koui

“I just haven’t gotten serious yet” — this song sharply portrays a self who hides behind that excuse and can’t take action.

It’s a track by RADWIMPS, included on their 2011 album Zettai Zetsumei.

The title “G” evokes “masturbation,” but what’s depicted is a young person who keeps consoling themselves for failing to show their true ability.

The rapid-fire rap lyrics capture a complex mindset where bravado and self-loathing intertwine.

Because the drums were sped up in production, the song remained absent from live sets for a long time, but it was finally performed for the first time on their 2023 tour.

It’s bound to pierce the hearts of those who keep making excuses to themselves and those struggling with the gap between reality and their ideals.

Hide and seek

Through the childhood game everyone once played—hide-and-seek—this RADWIMPS song gently depicts parting from someone dear.

The quiet tones of piano and strings resonate as if to stay close to the hearts of those who have lost a loved one.

It carefully expresses the bewilderment and sense of loss toward someone who suddenly disappeared, the guilt of forgetting, and the struggle between that and the reality of having to move forward.

Written as the theme song for the NHK General drama special “Anata no Soba de Ashita ga Warau,” broadcast on March 6, 2021, marking ten years since the Great East Japan Earthquake, it was included on the album “2+0+2+1+3+1+1 = 10 years 10 songs.” This piece will deeply resonate not only with those who lost loved ones in the disaster, but with anyone who has experienced parting from someone important in any form.

RADWIMPS – Playing Human [Official Music Video]

This is RADWIMPS’ tenth digital-only single, written as the theme song for the drama “Ishiko to Haneo: Sonna Koto de Uttaemasu?” When singing this track at karaoke, the key point is likely how you create a contrast between the somewhat mechanical delivery in the non-chorus sections and the more organic singing in the chorus.

In fact, especially in the A-melody parts, there’s processing that seems to intentionally apply strong pitch-correction effects.

It might even be fun to lean into that inorganic feel and mimic it deliberately.

RADWIMPS – Hitsu Zetsu / Inexpressible [Official Music Video]

Featured on the album “Anyu,” which marks the artist’s 20th career anniversary, this track explores inexpressible feelings, depicting life’s pain and memories with a lyrical band sound.

In the music video released in October 2025, actress Suzu Hirose teamed up with film director Michihito Fujii to craft a richly textured visual world reminiscent of a short film.
