"Zenzenzense" (Japanese: 前前前世, "Past Past Past Life") is a song by Japanese rock band Radwimps. It was used as one of the four theme songs to the animated film Your Name, and was one of 26 songs the band composed for the film's soundtrack. It was number-one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.[1] It also received a digital download song certification of Triple Platinum from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for sales of 750,000.[2]

Release

The song was used in multiple of the "Your Name" movie trailers prior to the movie's release. They can still be widely seen on YouTube.

The song was originally released as a promotional single for the Your Name soundtrack on July 25, 2016, ahead of the Your Name soundtrack's late August release.[3] The original version of the song, which has slight structural changes, was included on the band's eighth studio album Ningen Kaika (along with one more of the four vocal compositions from the Your Name soundtrack, "Sparkle").[4]

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,[5] and was released digitally on January 27.[6]
