Among Mr.Children’s songs, “Marshmallow day” is one of the most challenging.

Its vocal range is quite wide, from mid1C to hiF.

While the high notes tend to draw attention, the mid1C section is actually quite tough, and the A melody sits very low with little room to lower the key, making it tricky to adjust.

If you’re good at high notes but struggle with low ones, one option is to sing the A melody an octave higher.

Since falsetto appears in the bridge, be mindful not to shout too much in the choruses beforehand so your voice doesn’t get worn out.

Among Mr.Children’s songs, Whistle boasts one of the widest vocal ranges.

Its highest note is hi A, and astonishingly, the lowest is low G! While that top note is a common peak in other Mr.Children tracks, the contrast with the lowest note makes this piece quite challenging.

Fortunately, the tempo itself is very relaxed, so the pitch movement isn’t too abrupt.

However, since you can’t really lower the key much, depending on your vocal range you may need to tackle the high parts on your own.

Speaking of Mr.Children, I think the most striking feature is their raw, gritty vocals.

In fact, most of their songs follow that kind of style, but there are also tracks that require delicate vocal control.

One of them is “Houkiboshi.” Its range is wide, spanning from mid1 A to hi B, and the pitch movement is extremely rapid.

The chorus repeatedly features phrases where it jumps straight from a mid-range chest voice to a high falsetto.

If you’re confident in your pitch control, give it a try.

The piece “and I love you” is striking for its breezy instrumentation and sultry vocals.

The trickiest part is, without a doubt, the falsetto in the chorus.

Because the pitch moves up and down quite dramatically, there’s a real risk of going off-pitch in the falsetto sections.

In the final chorus, consecutive shouts appear, and since many of them rely on a shout + mixed voice technique, you’ll need not just height but also fullness in the high notes.

The lowest note is mid2 A, so there’s room to lower the key, but the highest note is hi D.

Make sure to assess your own vocal timbre and range carefully, and set the key to what suits you best.

As a work with a strong message, “Tagatame” enjoys solid support from hardcore fans.

Its vocal range is quite wide, spanning mid1C to hiB, and because the lowest note is mid1C, there isn’t much room to lower the key.

It also features a hi A# shout, so a powerful high-register delivery is required.

In addition, the lyrics are emotional, so a vocally expressive performance is needed; even though there’s no falsetto, overall it can be considered a very challenging piece.

The 16th single, “Hikari no Sasu Hou e,” released in 1999.

It’s such a famous song that even non–Mr.

Children fans have likely heard it.

The vocal range is quite wide at mid1E to hiB.

There are many high-note shouts, but there are surprisingly many low-range shouts as well, so when you sing it, be sure to maintain solid sound pressure while shouting.

The tempo has some room to breathe, so if you lock into the off-beat as you sing, it will instantly sound more professional—give it a try.

#2601Mr.Children

When it comes to Mr.Children, their orthodox J-pop sound is what usually stands out, but they also have some hardcore tracks.

Among those, the one I especially recommend as a particularly difficult song is “#2601.” It spans a very wide range from mid1 C-sharp to high A-sharp, and on top of that, most of the chorus sits on high A-sharp.

What’s more, it’s not sung in falsetto, but in full-voice shouts, so unless your throat is exceptionally strong, it will be hard to pull off.
