This is a warm song that shines a light on the small joys and efforts of everyday life.

Included on the album “HOME,” released in March 2007, it was also featured in a commercial for Olympus digital cameras.

Along with its gentle melody, it sings about how the small acts of daily life can bring a smile to someone’s face.

The song portrays a determination to find modest rays of light in everyday living, even while carrying feelings of frustration toward distant aspirations and unattainable dreams.

It’s a perfect track for those who want to find a sense of purpose amid the daily rush of work and household chores.

This Mr.

Children song is the one that will support you when you want to make that final push.

They formed in 1989, but they’re still popular among today’s high school students! When you’re “so close, but just not quite there,” if you really read the lyrics to this song, you’ll find the strength to push a little harder.

These lyrics gently encourage a heart that’s feeling a bit timid and give you the courage to keep running.

I hope every high school student striving toward their goals will listen to it.

Mr.Children 'Kurumi' Music Video

The title Kurumi, which is “future” spelled backward, symbolizes hope for the future and conflict with the past.

The song’s overall vocal range is quite wide, from E3 to F5, so it’s very important to switch between the quiet sections and the powerful ones.

That said, the tempo is relaxed, so if you sing each melodic phrase carefully, you should be able to handle it well.

Sing with the feeling of pouring your emotions into it, and your expressiveness will improve, letting the song’s quality shine through! For the intricate melodies in the chorus, make sure to lock in the rhythm.

I recommend fitting the rhythm of the melody first—using any syllables rather than the actual lyrics—and then singing it with the lyrics.

[Piano] Mr.Children / Birthday - Theme song of 'Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's New Dinosaur' with sheet music available

Mr.

Children’s “Birthday,” written as the theme song for the 2020 film Doraemon: Nobita’s New Dinosaur, features an unforgettable, catchy melody, Kazutoshi Sakurai’s straightforward vocals, and lyrics with a strong, uplifting message that perfectly match the film’s worldview depicting the bond between Doraemon and Nobita.

When performing it on piano, carefully articulate each note of the melody with its distinctive rhythm, and keep a steady tempo with your left hand while playing with a constant sense of forward motion.

Mr.Children「Your Song」MV

The lead track from the album “Juuryoku to Kokyu” (Gravity and Breath), released in October 2018.

Created by Mr.Children with the same unchanging passion and love for music even after their 25th anniversary, this piece delves deeply into the relationship with the special “you” encountered in life, singing about the value of the days spent together and the meaning of being by each other’s side.

The lyrics strikingly portray how chance events can strengthen the bond between two people and the intensity of the feeling that it has to be “you.” With no prolonged high notes and an overall calm tone, it’s an easy song to try at karaoke even for those who struggle with high registers!

Footsteps ~ Be StrongMr.Children21rank/position

I made and played a piano solo score for Mr.Children’s “Ashiato ~ Be Strong” — Mr.Children Ashiato piano sheet music

“Footsteps ~Be Strong,” produced in response to an enthusiastic offer to serve as the theme song for the 2016 film Nobunaga Concerto starring Shun Oguri, was Mr.Children’s first self-produced track.

Marking a major departure from their previous setup, it symbolizes the feeling of “taking a new step forward as Mr.Children.” The lyrics repeatedly feature positive words like “step,” “new,” and “future,” making it an uplifting song—so when you play it on piano, aim for a bright, clear tone!
