Mr.Children 「pieces」［(an imitation) blood orange］Tour

This song was included as the third track on the 2012 single “Inori ~Namida no Kido/End of the day/pieces,” their first single in about three years.

It was used as the theme song for the film “We Were There: Part 2.” On this single, the theme song for Part 1 appears as the first track, and the theme song for Part 2 appears as the third track.

It’s a gentle acoustic ballad.

Let’s hide and kiss in the car.Mr.Children

Let's hide and kiss in the car.

This song dates back to our amateur days and was inspired by the cover of Fairground Attraction’s first album, “The First of a Million Kisses,” which shows a man and woman kissing in a car—a band the members all liked at the time.

The sound is primarily driven by acoustic guitar.

In My TownMr.Children

In My Town

This song, included on the album [(an imitation) blood orange] released in November 2012, poetically portrays everyday scenes such as year-end crowds and footsteps splashing through puddles.

Kazutoshi Sakurai’s delicate vocals and the band’s warm sound resonate deeply.

The album sold 530,000 copies in its first week and ranked 8th on Oricon’s year-end album chart.

Reflecting emotions in the wake of the earthquake, the work resonated with many listeners.

When you feel the loneliness or solitude of the year’s end, this song is sure to soothe your heart.

If you sing it at karaoke, it will likely envelop the room in a gentle, intimate mood.

#2601Mr.Children

Mr.Children「# 2601」

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.

CENTER OF UNIVERSEMr.Children

Mr.Children DOME & STADIUM TOUR 2017 Thanksgiving 25 (Part 1)

CENTER OF UNIVERSE is a slow-tempo rock track that’s very popular among fans.

Its vocal range is wide, from mid1C to hiA, with a notably low lower register.

The chorus sits at the lowest part, but since the song itself feels bright, you need to project well even in the low range.

The rapid-fire section at the end of the chorus demands endurance in the throat, so be careful not to over-open your throat in the low notes and strain yourself.

While many Mr.Children songs are known for their high melodies, this one is challenging for its low notes, so if you have a deeper voice, definitely give it a try.
