Seesaw Game: A Song of Brave LoveMr.Children
A song that became a huge hit in the ’90s, its single sold over a million copies.
The distinctive lyrics compare love to a seesaw game, and combined with the bright melody, it feels refreshing to listen to.
The music video is a parody of Elvis Costello.
BoleroMr.Children
This is the title track from Mr.Children’s sixth album.
Its title and style are inspired by Maurice Ravel’s Boléro.
Because the lyrics suggest that the hit charts they themselves are enlivening as the main act are boring, the song sparked discussion among fans that it might imply their own lives feel boring.
Innocent WorldMr.Children
Released in 1994 as Mr.
Children’s fifth single, this classic was, needless to say, a massive hit, and what stands out is that it still doesn’t feel dated today.
Its brisk sound and catchy melody make it popular across generations.
It recalls a time when we were chasing our dreams, gives a jolt to days when we’re about to be swallowed by the busyness of daily life, and delivers a message to keep moving toward the light—something that resonates with everyone.
Don’t worry about how well you sing; just sing it as your true self!
REMMr.Children
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.
piecesMr.Children
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.
