Zenzenzense
"Zenzenzense" (Japanese: 前前前世; "Past-Past-Past Life") is a rock song by Japanese band Radwimps, released in 2016. It was used as one of the four theme songs to the animated film from the same year, Your Name, and was one of 26 pieces the band composed for the film's soundtrack. It reached number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100. It also received a digital download song certification of Million from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for sales of 1,000,000.
In late 2014, Makoto Shinkai sent Yojiro Noda, Radwimps' frontman, a rough draft of the film's scenario. Within a few months, Radwimps submitted a demo of the track alongside "Sparkle". In the context of the film, the song is played during a fast-paced montage in which main characters Taki and Mitsuha swap bodies.
The song was originally released as a promotional single for the Your Name soundtrack on July 25, 2016, ahead of the soundtrack's late August release. The original version of the song, which has slight structural changes, was included on the band's eighth studio album Ningen Kaika (along with another of the four vocal compositions from the Your Name soundtrack, "Sparkle"). The song was also used in multiple trailers for Your Name prior to the film's release.
On August 19, 2016, the song's official video premiered on TV Asahi's Music Station. Shortly afterwards, the video was uploaded onto YouTube. Ahead of the film's April 2017 release in North America, Radwimps re-recorded the four vocal theme songs from the film in English, including "Zenzenzense". The English version was unveiled on Tokyo FM's School of Lock! radio program on January 23, 2017, with a digital release following on January 27.
