‘Anew’ features a total of 12 tracks, including 10 newly recorded songs alongside previously released favorites, “Tamamono” (theme song for NHK’s drama serial ‘Anpan’) and “Meidai” (theme song for NTV’s news program ‘news zero’). The physical edition of the album includes “Tamamono (Orchestra Version)”, while the digital edition offers “DAI-DAN-EN feat. ZORN (Anew Version)” as exclusive bonus tracks. Marking their first studio album in four years, ‘Anew’ stands as a major highlight of RADWIMPS’ 20th major debut anniversary celebration.
