Mr.Children 'Tobe' (Fake Sakurai ver.)

It’s an amusing song about a young person who’s fallen into self-loathing and has absolutely no confidence, who one day is helped by his grandmother in a dream, and when he puts his hands together in prayer at the family Buddhist altar, his life changes.

Maybe he was a grandma’s boy.

It’s a motivational song that cheers you on to take a step forward in life.

Mr.Children 「Brand new planet」 from “MINE”

This song, included on the album “SOUNDTRACKS” released in December 2020, was also chosen as the theme song for the drama “Onee-chan no Koibito” starring Kasumi Arimura.

It’s a track that sings about dreams, hope, and the importance of embracing change.

Kazutoshi Sakurai’s warm vocals blend beautifully with a melody that resonates with the heart.

With lyrics themed around a “new star,” it’s sure to gently nudge listeners forward.

It’s a perfect song not only for those who watched the drama, but also for anyone ready to take a new step.

Mr.Children 「forever」TOUR 2011 “SENSE”

This beautiful song about a love that will never be forgotten is so heartbreaking and really touches the heart, doesn’t it? Many men might find themselves in tears, remembering the woman who left and the fragile love that faded away… It might be hard for a man who’s just gone through a breakup to recover after listening, but I hope Mr.

Sakurai’s beautiful, sweet vocals can lift their spirits.

As always, Mr.

Children’s lyrics feel so real, and I imagine many men can’t help but see themselves in them.

Mr.Children 「here comes my love」Music Short Film

“Here Comes My Love,” released in 2018, was written as the theme song for the TV drama “The Family Next Door Looks Blue,” which aired the same year.

The highest chest-voice note in this song is G#4.

Among Mr.

Children’s tracks, it may be less well-known than some others, but its memorable melody and the high level of completeness make it outstanding even within their body of work.

In addition to its relatively low chest-voice range, the simple and striking melody should make the song feel easy to sing.

coelacanth

This is a song that reflects on the coelacanth, a fish often called a living fossil.

It’s a work by Mr.Children, a rock band that has been at the forefront of the Japanese music scene for many years, and it’s included on their fifth album, Deep Sea, released in 1996.

The feelings vocalist Sakurai had at the time of composing are embedded in it, giving it a very dark impression.

The coelacanth is something you would never encounter in ordinary life, leaving you only to imagine its way of living.

The song is sung as if wringing out the emotion of asking, “Where on earth is the answer?”

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 “Toriko (regress or progress ’96–’97 ver.)” cover band Beatnik

The song I want you to listen to on a Friday night with a sophisticated vibe is “Toriko” (“Captive”).

It was included on the album “Shinkai” (“Deep Sea”), released in 1996 by Mr.Children, the beloved, nationally renowned rock band adored by multiple generations.

While they’re known for songs with grand themes, this track delivers a sharp, edgy sound laced with irony.

Pay attention to Kazutoshi Sakurai’s soulful vocals etched into the jazzy arrangement.

It’s a love song that conveys feelings that are both heartrending and powerful.

If you’re looking for a song that portrays a mature romance, be sure to give it a listen.
