Mr.Children 「Tomorrow never knows」 MUSIC VIDEO

A moving ballad whose lyrics portray the will to follow one’s heart despite the inner conflict of not knowing what tomorrow holds.

Released in November 1994 as Mr.Children’s sixth single, it’s known as the band’s biggest hit, with total sales exceeding 2.76 million copies.

Many may remember it as the theme song for the drama “All About Young Men,” starring Masato Hagiwara and Takuya Kimura.

It was later included on the album “BOLERO” and has continued to be loved by many fans to this day.

Its message of finding hope amid struggle gently supports a generation shouldering responsibilities at work and at home.

A masterpiece in J-pop history that you’ll want to revisit on a quiet, solitary night.

OverMr.Children82rank/position

Mr.Children “Over” from 30th Anniversary Tour Entrance to the Half Century – 2022.5.10 TOKYO DOME –

It captures the early-1990s Mr.Children vibe: guitar-driven rock that keeps a pop sensibility, with introspective lyrics matching the poignant melody.

The overall range is D3 to A#4, which might be a bit higher than the average male range.

Especially that chest-voice G#4 after a run of F4s in the chorus—that’s the spot you want to hit smoothly! The key to high notes is explosiveness.

If you deliver every phrase with a slight accent, you gain momentum and the voice comes out more easily.

After that, switch to head voice.

Exhale straight upward to build that momentum.

Lifting your facial muscles makes the transition smoother, so keep those facial muscles lifted throughout.
