RADWIMPS have unveiled the official music video for ‘Tamamono’, their latest single and the theme song for NHK’s drama series Anpan. Directed by visual artist MESS, the video plays out in three compelling acts, each capturing the emotional highs and lows of the human experience. With striking cinematography and abstract storytelling, it confronts the viewer with images of both quiet intimacy and dramatic upheaval, mirroring the song’s theme of embracing life’s contradictions.

Much like a short film, the video explores how society is shaped by unexpected events—how moments of sorrow and suffering can give rise to beauty and resilience. The tension between despair and hope unfolds against the sweeping arrangement of ‘Tamamono’, immersing the viewer in a world that is both surreal and emotionally grounded. It’s a poetic visual that speaks to the fragility of life and the strength found in simply carrying on.
‘Tamamono’ is RADWIMPS’ first release in nearly two years, and its visual companion is a testament to the band’s continued creative evolution. As they mark their 20th anniversary, the video stands as a bold artistic statement—one that refuses to shy away from the messiness of being human.
