Resonance / Mr.Children

In this world overflowing with all kinds of sounds, your voice is the one I love the most… That’s how Mr.Children’s “Hibiki,” filled with straightforward feelings, begins.

Maybe the people who show us that happiness is surprisingly close at hand are the very ones we ought to cherish.

Even if we argue, let’s make up and keep gathering those small, everyday joys together—that’s what I want to tell the person who matters to me.

Known by the abbreviation “Misuchiru” and now a monster band so famous that virtually no one in the J-pop scene hasn’t heard of them, Mr.Children.

Their third single, “Replay,” which was used as the theme song for Glico’s Pocky commercial, makes a strong impact thanks to an arrangement crafted with the commercial in mind.

The lyrics portray the often negatively perceived lull in a relationship in a positive light, which, together with the refreshing melody, is sure to stir the heart.

It’s a hidden gem from the 1990s that captures Mr.Children before they became widely known.

Mr.Children「HANABI」 Tour2015 REFLECTION Live

There are songs that surely conjure up different people or memories depending on who’s listening, aren’t there? Mr.

Children’s song “HANABI” is one of those, I think.

Released in 2008 as Mr.Children’s 33rd single, it’s also strongly associated with the popular drama “Code Blue: Doctor Heli Emergency Lifesaving,” for which it served as the theme song.

For those who have been enduring things for a long time or suppressing their pain, it will likely resonate deeply.

It’s also a song that makes you feel like you can make a fresh start and do your best from tomorrow.

Mr.Children 「Tomorrow never knows」 MUSIC VIDEO

A moving ballad whose lyrics portray the will to follow one’s heart despite the inner conflict of not knowing what tomorrow holds.

Released in November 1994 as Mr.Children’s sixth single, it’s known as the band’s biggest hit, with total sales exceeding 2.76 million copies.

Many may remember it as the theme song for the drama “All About Young Men,” starring Masato Hagiwara and Takuya Kimura.

It was later included on the album “BOLERO” and has continued to be loved by many fans to this day.

Its message of finding hope amid struggle gently supports a generation shouldering responsibilities at work and at home.

A masterpiece in J-pop history that you’ll want to revisit on a quiet, solitary night.

Among Mr.Children’s songs, this is a refreshing, pop number that gives you a sweet feeling.

The beginning of love is like chewing gum—at first it’s rich and tasty, but the flavor fades.

I’d like a love that doesn’t end up like chewing gum.

Mr.Children "Seesaw Game ~A Brave Love Song~" from TOUR 2017 Thanksgiving 25

Mr.

Children, the rock band that needs no introduction in Japan, is definitely an artist you want to listen to when you’re in love.

Among their songs, “Seesaw Game ~Brave Love Song~” is a refreshing track I’d recommend to both men and women as an anthem for love.

In particular, the lyrics that convey “no matter how many painful experiences you’ve had in love, you end up falling in love again” deliver an uplifting message that’s perfect when you’re heartbroken—absolutely wonderful! It also fits those times when you’re struggling with a tough crush, so be sure to listen to it in all kinds of situations.
