[Mr.Children] The Best Beloved Masterpieces Chosen by Mr.Children Fans (121–130)
People crossing the crosswalkMr.Children

The so-called “legendary hidden gem” The People Crossing the Crosswalk.
It’s a song that focuses on crosswalks we usually pass by without a second thought, singing about the human stories we witness there.
It’s included as the second track on the single GIFT, released in 2010.
The highest note that appears in this song is G4—quite low by Mr.
Children’s standards.
In terms of range, it’s a very singable song.
The challenging part lies in the rhythm and delivery.
If you’re not used to a spoken, narrative style of singing, you might find it difficult.
The key to handling the verse sections, which are particularly wordy, is to approach them as if you’re speaking rather than “singing.” If you try to belt it, your voice may become too loud, or you might struggle to keep up with the speed of the lyrics.
Sing with the gentle feeling of speaking to someone.

This song is memorable for its warm melody that gently embraces the heart and its hopeful, uplifting message.
The calm piano line and delicate string arrangement are soothing to the soul.
Released by Mr.Children in May 2014, it was used as the theme song for the film “Bolt from the Blue” and was later included on the album “REFLECTION {Naked}.” Filled with gratitude for loved ones and the courage to take a new step forward, its heartwarming lyrics and beautiful melody truly resonate.
It’s perfect for expressing thanks to your family or spending a peaceful moment while reflecting on memories.
It’s a work you can enjoy sharing—singing together with older adults or simply listening slowly and savoring the time.

I can picture a guy’s feelings shifting from friendship to love.
This song reminds me of my own experiences.
Mr.
Children’s lyrics really feel like watching a drama, don’t they? The melody is sexy too—absolutely fantastic.
La la laMr.Children

Although happiness exists in every scene of our daily lives, this conveys the idea that we often don’t recognize it as happiness in the moment.
When we look back on the past, there are many times we think, “I was happy then.” For that reason, this is a song that makes you want to cherish everyday life.

Let’s stay friendsMr.Children

This is a song from their indie days.
The narrator can’t stay just friends and wishes to become lovers, but the woman wants to remain friends—a poignant track about the difficulties of love.
The lyrics hit hard when he admits that, despite always joking around, he suddenly realized he’d started seeing her through the lens of romantic feelings.
Even if we talk it over, we won’t understand each other at all, but at least we both have the same answer: to end it. If your kiss could change me, that would be nice, but both our hands are full with our own things.Mr.Children

They are a Japanese rock band active since 1989.
They made their major debut with their first album, “EVERYTHING,” and have achieved numerous milestones since then.
They have many songs about love, and both their lyrics and the words sung by Sakurai often resonate deeply.
Heavenly KissMr.Children

When it comes to Mr.Children, many people think of their breezy songs, but they actually have some sexy tracks too.
“Heavenly Kiss” isn’t so much sultry as it is imbued with a masculine kind of sexiness.
The melody leans toward bright, refreshing pop, making it an exceptionally pleasant listen.
