Innocent World – Mr.Children [AiemuTV – Acoustic Cover]

Released in 1994 as Mr.

Children’s fifth single.

The song was used in commercials for Japan Coca-Cola’s “Aquarius Neo/Aquarius Iosis” and became the band’s first work—across both singles and albums—to top the Oricon Weekly Chart.

It was a massive hit that achieved double million-seller status, and it won the Grand Prix at the 36th Japan Record Awards in 1994.

It remains one of Mr.

Children’s signature songs.

Mr.Children "Houkiboshi" MUSIC VIDEO

Mr.

Children have fans of all ages.

Sakurai’s singing voice never loses its power no matter when I listen.

This song is up-tempo and lets you hear Sakurai’s high notes, so listening to it makes me feel very positive.

They’re an artist I’d love to see live someday.

Summer 1999, OkinawaMr.Children12rank/position

Mr Children 1999, Natsu, Okinawa; English Sub LIVE

A song that tells the story of a 30-year-old protagonist who visited Okinawa in the summer of 1999.

Though he left his hometown far behind to chase his dreams, he wonders, “Where am I supposed to go from here?” It’s a song that portrays, in a true-to-life way, a man who has grown older yet still isn’t sure which path his life should take.

Dance Dance DanceMr.Children13rank/position

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

When you think of Mr.

Children, their fresh, pleasant, and catchy tunes and richly nuanced ballads are popular, but this song is a bit different from their usual style! The funky, cool guitar riff and the groovy drum phrases that make it stand out are insanely cool! It’s a high-energy track that’s unlike their usual vibe, and it feels like it could snap you awake even on the sleepiest morning!

PreludeMr.Children14rank/position

Mr.Children 「Prelude」TOUR 2011 “SENSE”

Mr.

Children keeps creating songs that become cherished memories for listeners of every generation, from middle and high schoolers to grown-ups.

Their track “Prelude” is one I highly recommend to anyone feeling discouraged.

The lyrics, built around the concept of “Nothing starts if you just worry—just move forward,” are filled with the gentle warmth that’s so characteristic of Mr.

Children.

With its uplifting, bright melody, it’s a must-listen if you haven’t heard it yet! What’s more, this song cleverly weaves in references to many of Mr.

Children’s past songs within the lyrics.

It’s included on the 2011 album SENSE.
