Mr.Children 「youthful days」 MUSIC VIDEO

Released in November 2001, it topped the Oricon chart and became a hit with total sales of 690,000 copies—a signature single that represents early-2000s Mr.

Children.

Since it was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Antique: Western Confectionery,” many listeners may be reminded of the show when they hear it.

This track is quintessential Mr.

Children: an accessible chord progression, a simple guitar sound, and an ensemble featuring tasteful strings that’s easy on the ears, all built around a high-quality melody that speaks straight to the heart.

It’s definitely one you’ll want to try at karaoke.

The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, and if you ride the overall flow, you should be able to slip right into the song’s world with ease!

Mr.Children “Tagatame” from Stadium Tour 2015 Incomplete

As a work with a strong message, “Tagatame” enjoys solid support from hardcore fans.

Its vocal range is quite wide, spanning mid1C to hiB, and because the lowest note is mid1C, there isn’t much room to lower the key.

It also features a hi A# shout, so a powerful high-register delivery is required.

In addition, the lyrics are emotional, so a vocally expressive performance is needed; even though there’s no falsetto, overall it can be considered a very challenging piece.

Mr.Children “Kimi ga Suki” Music Video (Short ver.)

“I love you.” This song, expressed from a male perspective, conveys the feeling that nothing more is needed beyond that simple truth for one woman.

It makes you hope to meet someone to whom you’d want to give your all, and if you’ve already met that person, it makes you want to cherish them.

Mr.Children “Palms” Music Video (Short ver.)

While depicting the emotions stirred by the global situation and conflicts of the time, this song also contrasts them with the ordinary, everyday aspects of life, resulting in a highly message-driven piece.

Many listeners were likely struck by the lyrics, which carry a strong desire to understand one another despite differing values and beliefs.

A renowned song that won Song of the Year at the 18th Japan Gold Disc Awards.

For the chorus, which repeats ascending and descending motion, it’s easier to reach the peak notes if you sing with the image of drawing a wave rather than tracing each note one by one.

Mr.Children “Mirai” Music Video

Mr.Children has continued to color Japan’s music scene with numerous classic songs.

Among their catalog, this enduring fan favorite appears as the first track on the single “Yon-jigen Four Dimensions,” released in June 2005.

Many people may remember it from the Pocari Sweat commercial featuring Haruka Ayase, where the imagery evoked the sparkle of youth.

With its refreshing chorus melody and lyrics about moving forward despite inner conflict with the present, it’s a perfect fit for the milestone of graduation.

Mr.Children “At the Sea, the Heart Wants to Be Naked” from Mr.Children Tour 2018–19: Gravity and Breath

The song “Umi nite, Kokoro wa Hadaka ni Naritagaru” (“At the Sea, the Heart Wants to Be Laid Bare”) is the second track on the 2018 album Gravity and Breath.

It’s a rare beat-rock style number among Mr.

Children’s songs.

Drawing on the difficulties of modern interpersonal relationships on social media, the lyrics are about setting your heart free.

The tempo is on the fast side, but it doesn’t require rapid-fire singing, so it’s easy to perform.

The call-and-response parts aren’t very high in pitch either, so you should be able to sing it comfortably!

Mr.Children "Houkiboshi" MUSIC VIDEO

Speaking of Mr.Children, I think the most striking feature is their raw, gritty vocals.

In fact, most of their songs follow that kind of style, but there are also tracks that require delicate vocal control.

One of them is “Houkiboshi.” Its range is wide, spanning from mid1 A to hi B, and the pitch movement is extremely rapid.

The chorus repeatedly features phrases where it jumps straight from a mid-range chest voice to a high falsetto.

If you’re confident in your pitch control, give it a try.
