If I Could Become a StarMr.Children61rank/position

If I Could Become a Star

A song that sings of the passion and determination of young people spreading their wings toward their dreams.

It beautifully captures the emotions of high school students on the verge of graduation and resonates deeply with listeners.

The refreshing sound of the acoustic guitar paired with a powerful yet gentle vocal delivers a track that gives you the courage to move forward.

Included on the December 1992 album “Kind of Love,” it was also used as the theme song for a music program on TV Kanagawa.

As a representative track from Mr.Children’s early years, it has been beloved by fans for many years.

Listening to it at graduations, reunions, and other moments of parting or new beginnings with important people is sure to stir your heart.

Mr.Children “People Crossing the Crosswalk” Split the Difference

The so-called “legendary hidden gem” The People Crossing the Crosswalk.

It’s a song that focuses on crosswalks we usually pass by without a second thought, singing about the human stories we witness there.

It’s included as the second track on the single GIFT, released in 2010.

The highest note that appears in this song is G4—quite low by Mr.

Children’s standards.

In terms of range, it’s a very singable song.

The challenging part lies in the rhythm and delivery.

If you’re not used to a spoken, narrative style of singing, you might find it difficult.

The key to handling the verse sections, which are particularly wordy, is to approach them as if you’re speaking rather than “singing.” If you try to belt it, your voice may become too loud, or you might struggle to keep up with the speed of the lyrics.

Sing with the gentle feeling of speaking to someone.

Its worldview, which evokes a life journey that is anything but flat, will likely resonate deeply with anyone out in society fighting through each day.

It’s a highly recommended track for nights when you want to spend quiet time at a slow pace.

When it comes to autumn songs by the beloved national rock band Mr.Children, this heartwarming number surely comes to mind.

It delicately portrays a small, unexpected miracle that slips into everyday life and the tender feelings for someone special, all carried on the crisp air of fall.

The gentle tones of piano and clarinet are soothing, leaving you with the lingering afterglow of finishing a short story.

This track is included on the album “Juuryoku to Kokyuu” (Gravity and Breath), released in October 2018.

Mr.Children “Scent of Flowers” MUSIC VIDEO

“The Scent of Flowers,” notable for its gentle piano accompaniment.

This song was chosen as the theme for the film “Watashi wa Kai ni Naritai” (I Want to Be a Shellfish), starring Masahiro Nakai, released in November 2008.

The theme of the song is “the preciousness of life, and how a life continues to live on in someone’s heart even after death.” Among Mr.

Children’s songs, this one has an especially relaxed tempo.

A slower tempo allows you to sing each phrase carefully.

Also, if you articulate the lyrics clearly as you sing, your vocal production becomes clearer and it will feel easier to sing.

Give it a try!
