Mr.Children "Houkiboshi" MUSIC VIDEO

It’s read as “Houkiboshi.” Released in 2006, it’s the 28th single.

Chosen as the theme song for Toyota’s “Open the Door” campaign commercials, it became a hot topic.

It’s a refreshing, bright track that seems to depict hopes for the future.

【es】~Theme of es~Mr.Children

A salaryman tried playing Mr.Children’s “es” ~Theme of es~

It served as the theme song for Mr.

Children’s own documentary film.

“es” is a psychological term that refers to a type of ego.

Around this time, Mr.

Children’s lyrics often featured such psychological terminology.

For many years, it was also a song that was rarely performed live.

In every aspect—melody, lyrics, and performance—this is a powerful love song that grips your emotions.

The chorus, where the multitude of feelings embedded in each line is unleashed, evokes a complex mix of heartache and liberation.

It was also used as the theme song for the film “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.”

Dance Dance DanceMr.Children

Mr.Children “Dance Dance Dance” from Mr.Children Tour 2018–19 Gravity and Breath

It’s a super up-tempo song that has become a staple at live shows.

Also, when performed live, there’s often an action suggestive of masturbation during the second verse’s B-melody line, ‘alone again tonight,’ making it a track that shines particularly in concert.

It depicts the lewd side of human nature through various expressions.

A Message to You Beneath the UmbrellaMr.Children

A Message to You Beneath the Umbrella

Let me introduce a Mr.Children song whose horn section timbre lingers in your ears.

It’s a track included on the album “BOLERO,” released in March 1997, and it delivers a powerful message with sharp criticism of capitalist society.

The lyrics, which warn against the trend of pursuing material wealth, resonate deeply with listeners.

Through this piece, each of us is prompted to reflect on what it means to live authentically and what true happiness is.

It’s a timeless tune perfect for June—one you’ll want to sit with and contemplate.

Footsteps ~ Be StrongMr.Children

Mr.Children “Footsteps ~Be Strong” Music Video (Short ver.)

It’s the theme song for the drama “Nobunaga Concerto.” I’ve heard that this song, which was repeatedly reworked to serve as a push forward within the drama, was Mr.

Children’s first self-produced track.

Perhaps because of that, it carries a feeling of taking a new step.

Mr.Children「HERO」［(an imitation)blood orange］Tour2013 Live

Whenever I listen to this song, I always think of my children.

To them, their father is a hero.

I wonder what kind of life that hero is living now.

I always feel motivated, asking myself whether I’m living in a way that lets me proudly say to my kids, “Your dad is a hero.”
