THE THEME SONG OF NHK DRAMA SERIAL 'ANPAN'
May 2nd, 2025 - Philippines – Acclaimed Japanese rock band RADWIMPS, currently celebrating their 20th anniversary, have just released the music video for their latest single, “Tamamono”. The track serves as the theme song for NHK’s new drama series 'Anpan', which is now available to audiences worldwide via NHK World Premium. Fans can watch the video here.
The music video, directed by video director and graphic designer MESS, is presented in three parts and portrays human society as it is shaped by unexpected events. It reflects the tragedy and beauty of life, where suffering, sorrow, and joy repeat in a continuous cycle. Reflecting the song’s message of celebrating the 'beauty of our miserable lives', the music video unfolds with the depth and emotion of a full-length film.
“Tamamono” was exclusively written for the NHK Drama Serial ‘Anpan’ and marks RADWIMPS’ first new release in a year and nine months. The song, which has been in the works since May of last year, took the band over six months to complete. “My goal was to write a song that is challenging and adventurous,” commented Yojiro Noda. The accompanying music video captures the spirit of “Tamamono”, expressing a wide range of emotions within a single track.
