RADWIMPS – Catharsist [Official Music Video]

Created to coincide with a major sporting festival, this song vividly captures physical sensations like sweat and tears.

Released in June 2018 as the band’s 22nd single, it became widely known as the theme for Fuji TV’s soccer broadcasts.

RADWIMPS – Summer’s Fault [Official Music Video]

The resonant piano at its core is striking, and when layered with the chorus, it amplifies the song’s epic atmosphere while also conveying a sense of wistfulness and fragility.

It carries a mysterious, floating feeling—like looking back on summer memories while turning one’s gaze toward the future—and it communicates both the joy of summer and the fleeting sadness of its passing.

It’s a track that hurls a whole spectrum of summer-related emotions at you, from delight to melancholy.

RADWIMPS – Mobile Phone [Official Music Video] High Quality

The song “Cell Phone,” born from letters sent to the popular radio program SCHOOL OF LOCK!, is known as one of RADWIMPS’ quintessential youth anthems, wrapped in a delicate, wistful atmosphere throughout.

While the vocal line is somewhat high at points, the overall range is set quite narrow, with almost no sudden leaps in pitch.

If you carefully choose the right key for your voice, you should be able to aim for a high score at karaoke.
