Mr.Children's Birthday Song
GIFTMr.Children1rank/position

A grand, heart-stirring ballad is perfect for those once-a-year emotional moments.
The 32nd single by Mr.Children, one of Japan’s leading rock bands, released in July 2008, was chosen as the theme song for NHK’s broadcast of the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics.
Its beautiful melody, colored by strings, and its warm, all-encompassing sound are deeply moving.
The song celebrates the importance of a brilliance that can’t be seen, yet resides in everyone.
It’s the perfect track for expressing gratitude that might feel a bit embarrassing in everyday life.

Since their major debut in 1992, Mr.Children have achieved record-breaking success in Japanese music history and continue to run at the forefront even now in the 2020s.
Their 38th single, “Birthday,” released in 2020, was written as the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita’s New Dinosaur—a franchise that Kazutoshi Sakurai says he loved reading in his grade-school years.
Rather than celebrating a birthday itself, the lyrics gently speak in Sakurai’s signature words to celebrate each individual life and affirm living true to oneself—truly wonderful, isn’t it? For those who want to play this masterpiece on piano, especially beginners, start by practicing the melody with just your right hand.
It can be tricky to express Sakurai’s slightly syllable-heavy, narrative phrasing on the piano, but if you practice slowly and get used to it, it shouldn’t be too difficult.
It’s also important to play the verses and the chorus with distinct expressions in mind!
