Seesaw Game ~A Brave Love Song~Mr.Children1rank/position
Mr.
Children have many songs that give you courage and hope, but among them, this one in particular gives you a friendly push, saying, “It’s okay to be a little reckless, isn’t it? Let’s do our best.
A seesaw game—sounds good, doesn’t it?”
Endless JourneyMr.Children2rank/position
There are times in life when we feel lost or anxious and come to a halt.
But facing difficulties can become a wonderful life experience.
With that sentiment, Mr.Children released a song in October 1998.
Over a grand structure exceeding seven minutes, it powerfully and energetically sings of the wonder of living and the courage to take on challenges.
The song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Naguru Onna,” selling 516,000 copies in its first week and achieving an astonishing hit with over 1.07 million copies in total single sales.
It is a masterpiece that resonates deeply with those about to take a new step in life, those striving toward their dreams and goals, and those searching for their own path.
HANABIMr.Children3rank/position
Mr.Children is a band very familiar to high school students as well.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them a national band—many of you have probably been listening to their songs since you were kids.
Among their works, I recommend one of their later pieces, “HANABI.”

As everyone knows, this is the number-one Mr.
Children song I listen to when I’m exhausted from work and can’t find any sense of purpose.
It makes me feel like what I’m doing is ridiculous.
Even in today’s world, where many people feel that way, it reminds me that the work I do—through twists and turns—ends up creating someone’s smile.
And with that thought, I feel like I can keep going a little longer.
