RADWIMPS – The 25th Chromosome [Official Music Video]

“The 25th Chromosome,” released in November 2005, is the single that marked RADWIMPS’ memorable major-label debut.

The songs performed by the members, who had just turned 20 at the time, are strikingly youthful and vulnerable, and you can already sense the budding presence of Western musical influences in the production.

The fast-paced melody packed with Noda’s distinctive wordplay also feels quintessentially “them,” but fans of the band are likely accustomed to this kind of phrasing and shouldn’t find it difficult to sing at karaoke.

While the pitch sits slightly on the higher side, it stays within a consistent range, so if you’re not comfortable with high notes, adjusting the key should make it perfectly manageable.

Nanoka

RADWIMPS, who continue to captivate countless listeners with their unique worldview.

Featured on their 2009 masterpiece Altcolony no Teiri, this song is especially striking for its structure, opening with a grand, gospel-like chorus.

Despite its six-and-a-half-minute length, the dramatic arc—from a quiet, storytelling tone to a chorus that erupts with emotion—never fails to stir the heart with each listen.

Lyrics by Yojiro Noda that affirm fate and express love for family—like “Oton to Okan” (Dad and Mom)—are surely etched deeply into the hearts of many who spent their youth with this music.

It’s a number that creates moving, unifying moments across entire venues at live shows, so give it a listen on a night when you want to forget the bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in music.

Mitsuha’s ThemeRADWIMPS60rank/position

Mitsuha’s Theme (Piano Cover)

It’s a masterpiece whose poignant melody resonates deeply.

Written specifically for the film “Your Name.”, this piece marked a new challenge for the rock band RADWIMPS.

Centered on piano, its delicate melody beautifully captures the protagonists’ inner worlds and the story’s emotional texture.

Serving as a crucial part of the film’s soundtrack, it received high acclaim, including a Special Award at the 2016 Japan Record Awards.

The work portrays, through music, the intertwined fates of two people who keep missing each other, themed around lost time and the wish for reunion.

It’s a highly recommended track not only for movie fans but also for anyone seeking a moving piano piece.

RADWIMPS – Brainwashing [Official Music Video]

Released in May 2017 as one half of a double A-side single, this track is a rock number that portrays the duality of human nature with intense sound and lyrics.

The words cynically question both the peril and the salvation inherent in the act of “believing,” sharply shaking the listener’s values.

The narration-like spoken parts that appear midway are eerie yet comical, showcasing Yojiro Noda’s theatrical expressiveness to the fullest.

It’s also known for being included later on the album ANTI ANTI GENERATION in a different mix.

Give it a listen when you want to question the notions of justice and common sense within yourself, or when a standard rock tune just won’t cut it.

Its worldview also ties in with the music video, which contrasts an angel and a devil; enjoying the visuals alongside the song brings out even greater depth.

Rain OtoRADWIMPS62rank/position

Amaonko (RADWIMPS) // Solo Acoustic Performance

Rain Girl, included on the popular rock band RADWIMPS’s 2009 album Altcolony no Teiri.

Pronounced “Ama-otoko,” this song opens with a gently soothing intro and unfolds into a refreshing melody that feels great.

Though the English lyrics portray a straightforward, pure-hearted love that aches, the melody is so good you’ll want to listen again and again.

If you think of yourself as a rain-bringer, give it a listen and boost your spirits!
