Mr.Children 'Stock Phrase' Music Video (Short ver.)

The hand-drawn animated music video is very striking.

It was used as the theme song for the drama “Late-Blooming Sunflower: My Life, Renewed.” The lyrics are, in a sense, about a long-distance relationship caused by emotional distance, and they really resonate.

This beautiful song about a love that will never be forgotten is so heartbreaking and really touches the heart, doesn’t it? Many men might find themselves in tears, remembering the woman who left and the fragile love that faded away… It might be hard for a man who’s just gone through a breakup to recover after listening, but I hope Mr.

Sakurai’s beautiful, sweet vocals can lift their spirits.

As always, Mr.

Children’s lyrics feel so real, and I imagine many men can’t help but see themselves in them.

A grand song that charts the map of adult life.

The lyrics, interweaving inner conflict, everyday clamor, and introspective moments, resonate deeply.

It’s a track from Mr.Children’s album “miss you,” released in October 2023, symbolizing a new departure for the band beyond their 30th anniversary.

Perfect for moments when you want to pause and reexamine your life, or when you need the courage to move forward.

It’s a warm, encouraging song that stands by those who feel worn out by daily life.

The more you listen, the more the complex emotions unique to adulthood come through, and it will surely leave your heart feeling lighter.

BirthdayMr.Children

The theme song for Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s New Dinosaur, created by Mr.Children.

Doraemon movies always deliver messages that hit you in the heart, and many adults end up in tears.

This time, even the trailer alone is moving enough to make you cry, and the song “Birthday” is both linked to the film’s story and a moving birthday song that can stand on its own.

Birthdays come every year, so as we become adults they tend to feel less important, but if we could grow older every year like this—true to ourselves and stronger—that’s what I wish for.

Everything (It’s you)Mr.Children19rank/position

Everything (It's you)Mr.Children

Mr.Children has many hit songs, and no matter which one you pick, their lyrics feel profound, often striking at the sorest spots deep in the heart.

“Everything (It’s you)” is another masterpiece that pierces the chest and resonates with a weary soul.

It sings of inner conflict as if questioning oneself, and as you listen, you feel a prick, prick in your own heart—there’s something almost sermon-like about it.

It’s the kind of song that, when you’re exhausted, brings you to tears before you know it.

It starts with a count-off and the band’s sound is powerful.

The song was a hit, but the unexpected collaboration pleasantly defies expectations.

From the verse to the chorus, the sense of anticipation is strong, and I think it was a great collaboration that broadened the musical horizons.

Mr.Children is one of Japan’s most iconic rock bands.

When it comes to their summer songs, HANABI and Seesaw Game are well known.

But we mustn’t forget their memorable debut single, Kimi ga Ita Natsu.

Before its release, the planned title was Natsu ga Owaru, and as the name suggests, it’s a song about the end of summer and love.

Although Mr.Children wasn’t widely known at the time, they already possessed the same charm they have today!
