RADWIMPS 20th Anniversary Live Tour

Now where do I begin To explain how I feel?

It’s a long story but I’ll try my best

Even God must be surprised coz humans Are not supposed to be like you

You’re the most beautiful variant Of this century

What made your mom and dad's Hearts close enough to fuse

Two minds too close To just blame it on time

But now they won't meet each other's eyes No "I'm home" replies

You look at them With teary eyes and whisper

"Here I am

Proof of your love Please say there’s not a single lie

Coz if you don’t love each other anymore

My whole existence will be a lie

Don’t make TIME into a liar"

You're the light that connects

The promise they made to each other Back then to the present

"Father, mother," you say

With a trembling voice and teary eyes

Both of which you inherited half of From each of them

You say you can’t believe in the miracle

Of how you came into this world

You say you can’t believe in the miracle

Of how you and I met

We pierced our ears in the same spot But only yours shine bright

Will mine shine one day too? Can I love the world like you do?

Even if my heart decays And I draw my last breath rotting away

In my final moments I want to see the world through your eyes

Thank you.

Coz I've decided that even when we're 50 we'll sleep in the same bed

If we hold hands Till our blood becomes one

We'll never be apart

Let's keep dreaming this dream forever We'll say we never have to wake up

If a dream is meant to be woken from Then let’s call it something else

Let’s read "You" as "Love" And "I" as "Love"

That way we'll never be apart

I’ll write a song about it one day

They just want to call it a miracle

The fact that you and I met

But a miracle birthed this planet

So everything that happens on it Has to be a miracle

Suppose the Eastern Zodiac Says it’s an unlucky year

Suppose I’m a Jovian, and you a Martian

Like you say

I'm an Earthling But even if I were from Jupiter

It's just a planet away

I’ll use my once-in-a-lifetime power To warp now

I want to believe in the miracle

That you and I met

Miracle or not

I'm just grateful that we met

You say it’s a miracle

How beautiful, how wonderful

Riding atop the ultra-high-speed cycle Of reincarnation

What kinda dance am I supposed to dance?

You can’t be too cool or too sloppy

And it’s not just me Who feels this way, I guess

It’s kinda cringe, kinda nostalgic

Kinda makes me want to hear your song

Blindfolded, spirited away Who’s gonna get me all messed up?

Concerto-like virtual enemy

Natsume Soseki-style Wasteless love of mine

Direct and inward Like personal property no one can invade

Or can

They?

Does it turn you off?

What's up, Ariake?

Shed the world of yesterday

It’s time to set out to sea

Forget the future Drawn up in this little mind

Leave all your luggage behind Just grab a bag and run

I was never a good dreamer

Listening to others with a cold gaze

"Is that it? I can do much better than that!"

Always roaring in my head

Can you jump?

I missed you.

My head's full of noise

Someone preaching again

The world only listens To the words of the winners

No mic aimed at the losers

Jump!

There's the world in that bright light

Grazing the tips Of my outstretched fingers

If I could be with you On a night like this

I feel like I can reach the light tonight

Let me hear you!

It's the last show. Is that all you got?

Keep singing.

I love you!

I love you!

Good evening. We are RADWIMPS.

Welcome to the finale of our 20th anniversary tour.

Thank you for coming.

Man, it just went by in a flash.

I feel like we could have done 30 or 40 more shows.

Don't you think?

Yeah, it's weird.

It's just, how do I put it…

I still have fuel left in the tank.

There's just so much energy still coursing through me.

How about I inject that 30 or 40 shows' worth of energy

into the rest of this one?

That sound good?

It's almost the end of the year.

Is your year over yet?

Done with school and work?

- Yes! - You're done?

How many people are done?

That's awesome.

How many still have some work left?

- Me! - Here!

Thank you. You guys are what keep Japan running.

Thanks a lot.

I'm sure some of you put in tons of effort this year,

while others couldn't really get much done.

But there is a saying in Japan that goes, "All's well that ends well."

Ever heard that one? Have you?

- Do you know it? - We know!

I know!

- Yes, we know! - Right.

How about the people on the upper floors? Can you guys hear us?

We see you, okay?

Okay, then let's end the year

in a way that makes all 13,000 people here think 2025 was an amazing year.

How does that sound?

Can't hear you.

Do you want to make it an amazing year?

You'd better keep up. Stick with us till the end.

There's all kinds of things

Overflowing in the world

But what’s here and what’s not here

That’s all

We have

What’s the one thing we can say

For sure right now?

That we are all alive And that we will all die

That's about it

And still, hoping to find something more

I sing

I sing

Between you

Or all of humanity

If I could save just one

Which would I choose?

No doubt, it’s YOU!

Monday, we cry

Tuesday, we throw up

Wednesday, we say we’re done, but

Saturday, Sunday, it’s OK to smile

We love you!

Mutual love, in a word

Is like planets aligning

Upon the sacrifice Of a billion unrequited loves

Shining and twinkling

Don't tell me you forgot! Have you?

Make our hearts full of the miracle Of having found each other

Love, stars, songs

All will fade someday, they say

So what?

Your lips make all those things Feel so trivial

As time grows jealous of us

It quickens its pace

Unfazed, we grin, holding each other tight

Jun Shirakawa on the guitar.

There’s never been a decent quote

That starts with "Love is…"

Forget all that, what truly matters is

How wild we can get

While still kissing

Exploring a love yet unknown to humankind

This city, people, buildings

All will crumble to dust

One day

That thought makes everything glow On the eve of decay

Though we have no dreams

We drift like vagabonds

Like "a person beside dream"

The kanji for "ephemeral"

I declare war against my own child

I know I'll be jealous, Yeah, I can already imagine

What a lucky little boy To be blood-related to you

Losing all my maturity

I lose my patience and cry

I have many questions to ask you My boy, newly born

How was your mommy's tummy?

How was the view That I'll never get to see?

Must've been beautiful Ten months and ten days you travelled

So happy and frustrated 'Cause you know things I don't know

He's my child, he can barely walk

But I can't lose this game

I'll play fair man-to-man

No lullaby nor bedtime story

No fairy tales to read you boy

Let me tell you your mom's story Before you came

A story like no other in this world It's my story

She shattered things into pieces Stirred up troubles

Made my world twinkle With a blinding light

My days before I met her Were a trailer of what was to come

Your mom's game plan Was to make everything her own

I fell right into it

One day you'll understand
