Seesaw Game ~A Brave Love Song~Mr.Children
This song, “Seesaw Game: Brave Love Song,” has also been a karaoke favorite and a classic since its release! It came out in August 1995 as their ninth single, and despite having no tie-in, it became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.
It’s a super poppy killer tune that pays homage—music video included—to Elvis Costello, the British musician whom Kazutoshi Sakurai greatly admires.
To sing it well at karaoke, a key point is expressing the contrast between the low melody in the verses and the high notes in the chorus.
There aren’t melodies that demand sustained high belts, so it’s basically easy to sing, but try to stay mindful of the unique rhythm created by Sakurai’s masterful word choices.
Also, the bridge leading into the final chorus might be a bit tough because of the higher notes, but it’s something you can power through—so don’t be afraid to give it a shot!
Worlds endMr.Children
“Worlds End” was included as the first track on the album “I ♥ U,” released in September 2005.
Among Mr.
Children’s songs, it has a relatively minor-key feel and sounds really cool.
The chorus features expansive vocals that seem to resonate endlessly, making it very pleasant to listen to.
This technique of sustaining a note for a long time is called a long tone.
While the term “technique” might sound intimidating, in this song the sustained vowels are “e” and “o,” which makes it one of the easier types of long tones to try.
Tomorrow never knowsMr.Children
The instant the piano intro starts to play, both those who spent their youth back then and younger Mr.
Children fans will probably feel a sudden swell of emotion.
Released in November 1994 as their sixth single, “Tomorrow never knows” was also used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s popular drama ‘Wakamono no Subete’ and became a massive hit, selling a record-breaking 2.67 million copies—an all-time classic that stands in the history of J-POP.
Of course, “Tomorrow never knows” has been hugely popular at karaoke since its release, but compared to the typical male vocal range, it features many high notes, and many people likely struggled especially with the final chorus.
Since the beautiful melodic line itself is easy to sing, it’s a good idea to try lowering the key first and give it a go.
At the sea, the heart longs to be laid bare.Mr.Children
The song “Umi nite, Kokoro wa Hadaka ni Naritagaru” (“At the Sea, the Heart Wants to Be Laid Bare”) is the second track on the 2018 album Gravity and Breath.
It’s a rare beat-rock style number among Mr.
Children’s songs.
Drawing on the difficulties of modern interpersonal relationships on social media, the lyrics are about setting your heart free.
The tempo is on the fast side, but it doesn’t require rapid-fire singing, so it’s easy to perform.
The call-and-response parts aren’t very high in pitch either, so you should be able to sing it comfortably!
The Summer When You Were ThereMr.Children
Kimi ga Ita Natsu was released as a single from the major debut mini-album EVERYTHING, making it Mr.
Children’s very first single—a milestone track for the band! Although they weren’t well-known at the time and it didn’t achieve commercial success upon release, under Takeshi Kobayashi’s production it captures that early Mr.
Children essence—somehow bittersweet youth and nostalgic scenery—and has become a beloved classic among fans.
If you can ride the rhythmic flow of Sakurai’s lyrics, the song doesn’t feature particularly high notes and is relatively easy to sing.
Only at the very end of the chorus does that quintessential Sakurai high note appear, so try to sing it as if releasing the feelings you’ve kept in your heart.
here comes my loveMr.Children
“Here Comes My Love,” released in 2018, was written as the theme song for the TV drama “The Family Next Door Looks Blue,” which aired the same year.
The highest chest-voice note in this song is G#4.
Among Mr.
Children’s tracks, it may be less well-known than some others, but its memorable melody and the high level of completeness make it outstanding even within their body of work.
In addition to its relatively low chest-voice range, the simple and striking melody should make the song feel easy to sing.
Theory of evolutionMr.Children
Evolution, included on the 2015 album “REFLEXTION.” The song was used as the ending theme for the news program “NEWS ZERO,” and vocalist Sakurai commented, “I hope it becomes a lullaby for adults.” It’s a lovely track with a gentle melody carried by a relaxed tempo.
While the pitch is generally on the lower side and easy to sing, there are a few higher notes in the chorus.
However, the lyrics in the high sections make it less likely for the throat to tighten, so it’s a good song for trying slightly higher melodies.
