Radwimps has written some of the most heart-wrenching J-pop ballads and anime soundtracks of all time, but did you know they actually started off as a gritty, punk-centric rock band?
If you aren’t familiar with their harder side, definitely give these a listen. If you are, walk down nostalgia road with me (:
Here are my personal picks for Radwimp’s top five rock riffs.
5. Flies in May (Gogatsu no Hae)
Gore warning for the music video.
This is a very emotionally charged break-up song.
4. DADA
Buddhist chanting themed riff and a headbanger.
3. Hekkushun
This induces angst on levels I haven’t felt since I was 13 years old. Woo!
2. Jennifer Yamada-san
Actually from Radwimps’ “alter ego band” The Miso Soups. A great pop punk melody.
1. Oshakashama
Arguably one of the most recognizable riffs in J-rock history.
These are a mix of my suggestions and fan favorites, so let me know your favorites down below. ❤
