RADWIMPS – You, Sheep and Blue [Official Music Video]

This song overflows with dazzling passion and a sense of exhilarating drive.

Included on the 2011 album “Zettai Zetsumei,” it was chosen as the theme for NHK’s soccer broadcasts and captured the hearts of many during J.League and Emperor’s Cup coverage.

It carries a powerful message: miracles aren’t something you wait for—they’re something you create with your own hands—encouraging a spirit of challenge.

The up-tempo rock sound and impassioned lyrics fuse beautifully, delivering a performance that shakes the listener to the core.

It’s a perfect track for those who want to feel the rush of summer or are striving toward a goal.

Saidai Kouyakusuu

Among RADWIMPS’ songs, this one doesn’t sit too high in range, so you don’t need to belt.

As long as you stay mindful of the rhythmic timing, you can aim for a high score! In particular, the A verse stays mostly in the mid–low (mid1) range, so it’s good to sing gently, as if speaking.

The range gradually rises from the B verse, but there’s no need to push your voice.

If you keep the breath flowing and imagine resonating in the head, your head voice will take on a chesty quality, and once you find your comfortable spot, it becomes much easier to sing.

Also, some may find the rhythm tricky where the melody gets fast, but since the range isn’t too high, you’ll be fine if you place the notes carefully and sing with precision.

As the pitch climbs, imagine resonating in the head and try keeping it light!

RADWIMPS – Is It Okay? [Official Music Video]

This RADWIMPS track sets disarmingly straightforward expressions of love—and the jittery feeling that comes from being “too happy”—to a buoyant rhythm.

It’s one of the band’s signature songs, turning live venues into a sea of handclaps and singalongs.

The lyric asking “Is it okay to be this happy?” perfectly captures the joy and gratitude of meeting someone precious.

Though included on the December 2006 album RADWIMPS 4 ~Okazu no Gohan~, it also carries a fiery backstory: the original MV shoot was grueling due to rain and cold, prompting a “revenge” reshoot about ten years later in 2017.

It’s a song that makes you want to say “thank you” to the irreplaceable people in your life—be it a partner, family, or best friend.

Like a warm meal, it’s a classic that soaks into the heart.

RADWIMPS – Aloof [Official Music Video]

A song that captures the frustration of an ambiguous relationship and the ache of unrequited feelings.

The delicate emotions that sway with the other person’s attitude and the uncertain distance where neither can read the other’s heart are carefully woven with the distinctive word choices of Yojiro Noda.

Although it’s a track from the 2018 album ANTI ANTI GENERATION, the music video featuring Nana Komatsu and Fuju Kamio also created a big buzz.

In August 2020, it was chosen as the theme song for the ABEMA show Who Is the Wolf?, once again resonating with many listeners.

Unfolding at a relaxed tempo, this piece is a gentle companion for nights troubled by love or quiet moments of contemplation.

September San

This song is included on RADWIMPS’s major-label debut album, “RADWIMPS 3 – The one we forgot to bring to the desert island –,” released in 2006.

The date indicated in the title, September 3, is the anniversary of their first-ever one-man live show.

The lyrics capture the bittersweet feelings that arise in the quiet fade-out of summer as it gives way to autumn, along with the resolve to take a step forward from there.

Yojiro Noda’s poetic and abstract choice of words evokes each listener’s own memories and emotions.

The gentle melancholy woven into the simple band sound is soothing, making it a track you’ll want to sink into on a long autumn night.

Hum it along with memories of your school days, and the feelings from back then will come rushing back.

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.

Ten Thousand Cheers, A Thousand ChantsRADWIMPS14rank/position

Banzai Sensho

This is a song by RADWIMPS created together with a thousand 18-year-olds for a special NHK program.

It carefully depicts, like a single story, the dreams and anxieties of young people and their forward-looking steps into the future, resulting in an energetic, stirring anthem of encouragement.

Included on the album ANTI ANTI GENERATION, it became a much-talked-about gem in 2018.

Born from the passionate feelings of the youth involved, the piece was also performed on RADWIMPS’ nationwide ANTI ANTI GENERATION TOUR 2019.

As a song that colors energetic scenes where large groups move as one—like at sports festivals or group gymnastics—it naturally envelops the venue in a positive atmosphere.
