Mr.Children Tour 2009 Apocalypse Water Bus

Mr.

Children, a national rock band beloved by a wide audience, included the song “Suijō Bus” (“Water Bus”) on their 2008 album SUPERMARKET FANTASY.

It’s a hidden gem and a fan favorite.

At first it sounds like a simple love song about the everyday life of a happy couple, but as you listen further, an unsettling atmosphere creeps in, revealing two people who, despite loving each other, were unable to stay together.

It’s a love song that captures the days of youth and the bittersweet ache that flickers in and out.

Mr.Children 「youthful days」 MUSIC VIDEO

As a monster band that has produced countless hit numbers, the four-piece rock band Mr.Children is now a household name.

Their 21st single “youthful days,” used as the theme song for the TV drama Antique: Western Confectionery, is a refreshing number with a pleasantly invigorating band sound.

The ensemble of simple chord progressions and catchy melodies, combined with a driving beat, lifts your spirits.

It’s a heartwarming pop tune that was featured not only as a drama theme song but also in commercials.

Mr.Children 'Palm' MUSIC VIDEO

Two people always getting along perfectly, always thinking the same thing as each other… that’s just not realistic, is it? But that doesn’t mean you have to end the relationship.

Mr.Children’s “Tenohira” (“Palm”) teaches us the importance of acknowledging one another.

Released in 2003 as their 25th single, it didn’t have any tie-in, yet it’s a beloved classic among Mr.Children fans.

Many people probably sing it often at karaoke.

Captive Solo Acoustic Performance ★★ - Mr.Children -

This song is included on Mr.Children’s fifth album, “Shinkai,” released in 1996.

Judging from the lyrics, it’s a song of jealousy that conveys emotions akin to hatred from a man who’s being two-timed, or who has resigned himself to being second best.

Even though he knows what the woman he loves is doing, he doesn’t confront her; instead, he broods alone, his unspoken feelings tightening in his chest.

If you’ve gone through something similar, it will hit home, won’t it? I can’t help but hope those feelings are rewarded.

Mr.Children Hallelujah

A love song in which Sakurai conveys, through every expression uniquely his own, the vow to keep loving you for life, forever, no matter what happens.

It’s included on the 2000 album “Q.” It begins with a gentle, calm melody that, before you know it, swells and flows as if an overflowing love has been unleashed—beautifully evoking a boundless affection.

Even with age, even if something happens to the Earth, no matter what may come, the feelings for you will never change—I will go on loving you.

Encountering a love this immense is something we can only hope for!

Mr.Children「HERO」［(an imitation)blood orange］Tour2013 Live

I think this song fits a very cold winter perfectly.

Among Mr.

Children’s many tracks, I believe this one is especially popular.

The music video also evokes winter and has a cute vibe.

The grand, cinematic feel of the story brings the chill to mind.

Still, the feeling of love outweighs that cold—that’s the impression it gives.

It was released on December 11, 2002, as their 24th single at the time.

Heavenly kissMr.Children28rank/position

Mr. Children – Heavenly Kiss (sub español)

No matter how much you love someone, a lull inevitably comes at least once.

The song that gently stays by your side at such times is “Heavenly kiss.” It’s included on “Kuchibue,” released in 2000 by Mr.Children, a band that soothes listeners’ hearts with songs themed around “life” and “love.” You can savor a jazzy sound where each part’s performance truly shines.

It’s a mature love song with a moody atmosphere.

This track teaches you that even feelings that have cooled can be rekindled by a single spark.
