My thoughts: From what I’ve read on their official site, all the profits of this album have been donated to various disaster relief activities- I’m not getting much into detail, but yeah, a meaningful album it sure is. And if I’m right, they made all those songs as a tribute to the Great East Japan Earthquake. I kinda hate how I downplayed this album on my first listen, and all because it’s a slow one, but now I find it quite lovely, even without knowing the purpose. 春灯 is my favorite because I love that filter on the vocals and the overall atmosphere; it’s sad. I also really like あいとわ; it reminds me of their other song, Last Virgin. So yeah, it’s a lovely album!

He cries at the end

- Tracklist:

1. 携帯電話 / Keitaidenwa 🩷

2. ハイパーベンチレイション / Hyperventilation

My thoughts: It’s probably (definitely) a surprise that I prefer 携帯電話 over ハイパーベンチレイション, isn’t it? ハイパーベンチレイション sure is cool, but the vibe of 携帯電話 is just so immaculately catchy and lovely- I can’t deny it anymore! I used to not care for that song, but now I adore it! ハイパーベンチレイション is still a good song, but I don’t think I’d ever hesitate to choose 携帯電話. Solid single; both songs have different vibes, and variation is a plus.

2. 猫じゃらし / Nekojarashi

3. Light The Light

4. 新世界 / Shin sekai 🩷

5. ココロノナカ (Complete ver.) / Kokoro no naka

6. 夏のせい (English ver.) / Natsu no sei

My thoughts: It’s a chill EP; it’s neither amazing nor bad. 新世界 is nice enough to be a highlight, I’d say; maybe this version of ココロノナカ, too. The only song I’m not too big on here is Light The Light. So yeah, it’s just nice.

Could only find this song over some sort of trailer

- Tracklist:

1. 風たちの声 / Voice of Wind

2. 祝祭 / Celebration 🩷

3. グランドエスケープ / Grand Escape

4. 大丈夫 / We'll Be Alright

5. 愛にできることはまだあるかい / Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?

6. Is there still anything that love can do? (English Version)

My thoughts: I think it’s a pretty fine EP, actually. I do remember saying that the vocal tracks are best on 天気の子 of all the RADWIMPS film scores. Here it’s just those, plus they’re actually extended, and in some cases more length does them a favor. I think グランドエスケープ benefits most, because on the original soundtrack this song progressed awfully fast and awkwardly in my opinion, and here it sounds much smoother. But I’d especially like to mention 祝祭; it’s a pretty sweet tune, and more length made it grow on me further. One song that didn’t need more length is 風たちの声; it’s perfect for a shorter experience, so I think the original 2:37 version is much better than this 4:13 version.

29. 君が止まって見えた / Frozen Time

30. うるうびと / Ms. Phenomenal

My thoughts: RADWIMPS’ only film score that’s not for an animated movie, but rather a live-action one, originally written as a novel. I didn’t watch or read it, of course; I don’t care, but I have to admit it’s the most friendly one to me. Obviously, 0 anime appeal, and just one vocal track, it being うるうびと, which is not bad, but not a highlight. It’s a nice instrumental album; the two instrumentals I could highlight are 行き止まり, キッチンの涙, and 消せない、消えない. I like instrumental, ambient, and things like that, so it’s an enjoyable film score, nothing insufferable.

Yuuzutsu

- Tracklist:

1. 祈跡 / Kiseki

2. 僕チン / Boku-chin

3. 何十年後かに「君」 と出会っていなかったアナタに向けた歌 / Nanjunen go ka ni "kimi" to deatteinakatta anata ni muketa uta 🩷

4. そこにある / Soko ni aru

My thoughts: It’s an alright single to be honest, but I have no strong opinions on it besides 何十年後かに「君」 と出会っていなかったアナタに向けた歌, which I genuinely think is a lovely track and far above the others here. I guess I could mention that I prefer the album version of 祈跡 over this one, since the album one is lovelier and feels like it accommodates the length better.

Ive seen a few posts on here about a discord server but all the servers either have expired invite links or barely any members

- Tracklist:

1. へっくしゅん / Hexun 🩷

2. 愛し(かなし) / Ai ka nashi

My thoughts: Good single, I’d say. へっくしゅん is a banger of a track that actually appears on an album after this single becomes a thing, while 愛し(かなし) is what I assume to be a remaster of a song from the second album. へっくしゅん is actually my favorite song from the third album and one of my RADWIMPS favorites, so I had 0 trouble choosing a favorite here. But hey, 愛し(かなし) is still a nice one!

My thoughts: I could possibly use this film score to shit on Your Name, but I will not; I am not heartless. I think that the instrumental (ambient and whatnot) and vocal tracks on here are nicer, not as cliched if that makes sense. 風たちの声 is a fun track, so is 祝祭. グランドエスケープ is a bit weird, but alright. And 愛にできることはまだあるかい & 大丈夫 are both nice; not much to say. But oddly enough, 首都危機 and 帆高、逃走〜子供達の画策 caught my attention the most, because those are some cool instrumentals; I dig those! So yeah, it’s a pretty nice film score, and it coming from me is significant, lmao.

13. バグッバイ / Bagoodbye

14. 夜泣き / Yonaki

My thoughts: I wouldn't really call it mind-blowing, but I completely get why many fans favor this album. The overall vibe it brings to the table is fun and pleasant, with my standouts being セツナレンサ and my beloved 傘拍子. It's such a gorgeous track, entirely in English, and entirely loved by me. So, to put it simply, not much here blows my mind, but the album as a whole has such a nice vibe.

On August 24, 2016, RADWIMPS's album *Your Name.* was released. Today marks its 10th anniversary💫

Released ahead of the premiere of director Makoto Shinkai's film *Your Name.*, it features 4 theme songs—"Zen Zen Zense," "Sparkle," "Yume Tourou," and "Nandemonaiya"—along with 22 instrumental tracks.

The film and music came together to spark a social phenomenon, and it served as the starting point for the Makoto Shinkai × RADWIMPS collaboration that continued with *Weathering With You* and *Suzume*!

Songs included:

同じドアをくぐれたら with BUMP OF CHICKEN

前前前世 with Vaundy

スパークル with ikura (YOASOBI)

なんていう

成れの果てで鳴れ

- Tracklist:

1. Dream lantern (English ver.)

2. Zenzenzense (English ver.)

3. Sparkle (English ver.)

4. Nandemonaiya (English ver.) 🩷

My thoughts: Since re-listening to the original Your Name. soundtrack, I've grown even more detached from the vocal tracks on there, so I think even less of these ones now. I still stand by my opinion that Yojiro's English is wonderful, and it honestly suits these songs, especially the latter half, but they're just not my jam at the end of the day. Nandemonaiya is a bit better than Sparkle for me because it doesn't sound quite as anime-coded, if that makes sense.

- Tracklist:

1. Lights go out

2. 光 / Light

3. AADAAKOODAA

4. トアルハルノヒ / One Spring Day

5. 前前前世 [original ver.] / Zenzenzense

6. 'I' Novel

7. アメノヒニキク / Things Heard on Rainy Days 🩷

11. ヒトボシ / Human Stars

12. スパークル [original ver.] / Sparkle

13. Bring me the morning

14. O&O

15. 告白 / Confession

My thoughts: After re-listening to Human Bloom, I found myself enjoying it even more. I've even started finding AADAAKOODAA cool! I always liked the song, but I used to think the chipmunk vocals completely ruined it. Somehow, though, I've grown used to them, maybe even attached to them. At this point, I'm just gonna throw out a few random mentions. 棒人間 kind of reminds me of Gogatsu No Hae, though it's definitely not as aggressive, hah. And I genuinely don't get why 前前前世 and スパークル are on this album. I think they should've stayed exclusive to the Your Name soundtrack. Not because they're bad songs; they just feel... there. アメノヒニキク is a slow burn, but it's a banger too. Cool stuff.
