It’s the theme song for the film “Real: A Perfect Day for Plesiosaur.” It was produced at the director’s request during the film’s production.

Responding to the request to “just floor it!” it ranks among the most intense tracks in Mr.

Children’s history.

There’s nothing else with this kind of edgy, alternative-style sound.

The artist himself has said he was able to bring out something latent.

A place where you can feel at easeMr.Children

It may not be a very famous song, but it’s a ballad that continues to be cherished by fans for its beautiful melody and lyrics.

The line about feeling warmth even without wearing a sweater when affection wells up evokes the sights and scents of early winter and makes it deeply poignant.

It’s a masterpiece that highlights the gentle musical tone and Sakurai’s sentimental vocals.

Ranked 23rd in the annual sales chart with 270,000 copies sold, Japan’s proud rock band Mr.

Children has made the list.

Mr.

Children’s “Jutama no Ballad” begins with shocking lyrics.

Yes, it’s a song about a couple’s night where they refused to use a condom.

You can feel the love conveyed through the embrace.

The fact that it’s placed as the final track on the album also gives you something to ponder.

This is a song where not Kazutoshi Sakurai on vocals, but Hideo Suzuki, the drummer and backing vocalist, takes the lead.

It’s a comedy song to a degree that’s unimaginable for today’s Mr.

Children.

There’s even a chorus where Kazutoshi Sakurai croaks like a frog.

Among fans, some call it a complete dark history, while others praise it as a masterpiece.
