[Karaoke] A roundup of easy-to-sing Mr.Children songs (21–30)
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.
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.
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.
ALIVEMr.Children
ALIVE stands out with its biting lyrics and dark tone.
It’s included on the 1997 album BOLERO.
At first it may sound hopeless, but the chorus reveals a glimmer of hope.
The lyrics, which give you the courage to face tomorrow even in despair, have real depth.
The song’s vocal range is relatively narrow, so even those who aren’t confident in their range can sing it without strain.
And since it isn’t a bright song, a straightforward, understated delivery still works well.
It’s an approachable track even for people who aren’t comfortable singing, so give it a try!
Song of DepartureMr.Children
“Tabidachi no Uta” is Mr.
Children’s 31st single, released in 2007.
The song was used as the theme for the live-action film adaptation of the hugely popular mobile novel “Koizora.” The highest note that appears in the song is A4, but the most frequently used note is D#4, which is fairly low.
Because of that, the chorus includes spots where the melody leaps from low to high notes, and that’s the tricky part of the song.
The key to singing these leaps well is repetition.
Practice going back and forth—low to high and high to low—while carefully keeping your pitch accurate, and you’ll be able to sing it well!
