RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

It goes without saying that this is one of RADWIMPS’s signature songs and one of the main themes of the smash-hit anime Your Name.

Released in August 2016.

While this song is introduced as “easy to sing even for people who aren’t good at singing,” you might find it surprisingly difficult when you actually try it.

Vocalist Noda’s voice is very approachable, which may make you think so, but if you really listen closely, you’ll notice he’s quite skilled.

So when you try it at karaoke, you might end up thinking, “Huh? The key is high!” Since it’s an upbeat, lively rock track, it’s fine to power through even if your voice cracks or gets a bit hoarse, but if you’re worried, it might be safer to lower the key a little before singing.
