The word “seesaw game” describes a neck-and-neck battle.

In any era, love might be a seesaw game where each person’s ego clashes—and sometimes they even fling those egos at each other.

Thinking of it that way is a little scary, but listening to Mr.

Children’s characteristically catchy melodies and pleasant rhythms makes me want to fall in love bravely, without fear.

That’s amazing.

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.

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.

Adolescent Summer: Our Love Still Lingers on the RanchMr.Children

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.

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

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.
