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".[22] 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")[22]
- "Sparkle" (スパークル, Supākuru)[23]
- "Nandemonaiya" (なんでもないや, Nandemonaiya, lit. "It's Nothing")[22]
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.[22] 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".[24]
