Miracle EarthKuwata Keisuke & Mr.Children

Miracle EarthKuwata Keisuke & Mr.Children

It’s truly a miraculous collaboration that came to life as the campaign song for Act Against AIDS in 1995.

It’s a provocative track that also sings about social satire of the time.

A male-male duet is rare, so it sounds refreshingly new.

If you’re interested, you can listen to it on Keisuke Kuwata’s album “TOP OF THE POPS.”

AsiaMr.Children

As the title suggests, it’s a song about Asia.

The lyric “What did we learn from a history that left only scars?” is particularly thought-provoking.

The title is pronounced ‘Eijia’ (Asia), but in the lyrics phrases like “ASIAN BEAT” and “ASIAN BLOOD” are sung as ‘Ajian Bīto’ and ‘Ajian Buraddo,’ respectively.

Mr.Children 'Tobe' (Fake Sakurai ver.)
JumpMr.Children

It’s an amusing song about a young person who’s fallen into self-loathing and has absolutely no confidence, who one day is helped by his grandmother in a dream, and when he puts his hands together in prayer at the family Buddhist altar, his life changes.

Maybe he was a grandma’s boy.

It’s a motivational song that cheers you on to take a step forward in life.

Summer 1999, OkinawaMr.Children

Summer 1999, OkinawaMr.Children

A song that tells the story of a 30-year-old protagonist who visited Okinawa in the summer of 1999.

Though he left his hometown far behind to chase his dreams, he wonders, “Where am I supposed to go from here?” It’s a song that portrays, in a true-to-life way, a man who has grown older yet still isn’t sure which path his life should take.

A Monologue Woven With YouMr.Children

A Monologue Woven With YouMr.Children

Packed with warm feelings for a loved one, “Monologue We Wove Together” is a song you’ll want to revisit again and again over the years.

Featured in the film “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur,” its lyrics, which evoke the story within the work, strike a chord.

As Nobita grows, he experiences encounters and farewells, and parting from someone important is always painful, isn’t it? Even if the time spent together was short, this song makes you feel that your feelings for that person remain unchanged, and it inspires hope for a bright future!

The part about my mouth slipping and making you angry is something everyone can relate to—such a cute lyric.

Nobody ever acts the way I want them to, and that includes you, too.

So I wonder: how can I live without fighting with you or with the world? That’s the kind of thing I think about.

It’s a moving ballad that always brings tears when you hear it at graduation.

The lyrics honestly express the loneliness that comes with the season of farewells, making you relate them to your own feelings.

It’s a forward-looking song that, though tinged with sadness, celebrates the new days that begin after graduation.
