Music your name

 Main article: Your Name (album)

Yojiro Noda, the lead vocalist of the Japanese rock band Radwimps, composed the theme music of Your Name. Director Makoto Shinkai requested him to compose its music "in a way that the music will (supplement) the dialogue or monologue of the characters".[19] Your Name features the following songs performed by Radwimps:

  • "Yumetōrō" (夢灯籠, Yumetōrō, lit. "Dream Lantern")
  • "Zenzenzense" (前前前世, Zenzenzense, lit. "Past Past Past Life")[19]
  • "Sparkle" (スパークル, Supākuru)[20]
  • "Nandemonaiya" (なんでもないや, Nandemonaiya, lit. "It's Nothing")[19]

The soundtrack of the film was well received by both audiences and critics alike and is acknowledged as being one of the factors behind its success at the box office.[19] The film's soundtrack was the runner-up in the "Best Soundtrack" category at the 2016 Newtype Anime Awards, and the song "Zenzenzense" was the runner-up in the "Best Theme Song Category".[21]
