Mr.Children 「Everything（it’s you）」 MUSIC VIDEO

Released in February 1997, “Everything (it’s you)” is one of Mr.

Children’s signature songs and achieved a spectacular million-selling hit.

The memorable female chorus is performed by Yuiko Tsubokura, the vocalist of B.B.

Queens, and it’s also well-known that the moving, passionate guitar solo is split between guitarist Kenichi Tahara in the first half and vocalist Kazutoshi Sakurai from the latter half onward.

It’s a rock ballad with a distinctly Mr.

Children-like dramatic and lyrical development, and a chorus melody that opens up all at once—making it a karaoke favorite since its release.

That said, many listeners might feel it’s difficult to sing, especially when they hear the high notes at the very start of the chorus.

In reality, for a melody written by Sakurai, the range isn’t that high; if you settle into the solid rhythm, sing the verse slowly to build power, and then deliver the chorus with emotion at the crucial moment, you’re sure to move your karaoke friends to tears.

The repeated lines in the final chorus may be a bit taxing, but once you’re immersed in the song’s world, you should be able to carry it through to the end!

Runner’s high refers to the uplifting, euphoric feeling you get from running.

Mr.Children’s “Running High” is a perfect song for those who enjoy marathons or jogging.

The track appears on Mr.Children’s 2005 release, the album “Yoji-gen Four Dimensions.” Many listeners will relate to the lyrics, which depict someone battered by society yet still determined to keep fighting while conversing with their inner self.

As you listen while running, you may find a more positive mindset and a spirit of challenge beginning to grow.

Mr.Children “Hibiki” Music Video

A hidden gem by Mr.Children whose acoustic warmth seeps into the heart.

This song, which celebrates the happiness found in everyday scenes, is captivating for its simple band sound stripped of flashy ornamentation.

The imagery drawn by Kazutoshi Sakurai—like a voice resonating from behind—carries a realism that feels close to the listener’s daily life.

Released to the world in November 2006 as the B-side to the single “Shirushi,” it quietly gained support among fans even as the title track became a hit as the theme song for the NTV drama “14-year-old Mother.” Later included on the album “B-SIDE” and even given a music video, it possesses a presence that far exceeds that of a mere B-side.

When you want to savor the preciousness of peaceful days, give it a listen.

Mr.Children 「and I love you」 MUSIC VIDEO

The piece “and I love you” is striking for its breezy instrumentation and sultry vocals.

The trickiest part is, without a doubt, the falsetto in the chorus.

Because the pitch moves up and down quite dramatically, there’s a real risk of going off-pitch in the falsetto sections.

In the final chorus, consecutive shouts appear, and since many of them rely on a shout + mixed voice technique, you’ll need not just height but also fullness in the high notes.

The lowest note is mid2 A, so there’s room to lower the key, but the highest note is hi D.

Make sure to assess your own vocal timbre and range carefully, and set the key to what suits you best.

Mr.Children 「Replay」 MUSIC VIDEO

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 ［es］〜Theme of es〜

A song by Mr.Children that resonates with the heart.

Its gentle, enveloping tone is appealing, as it stays close to the listener’s heart.

Although it wasn’t tied to any TV drama or film as a theme song, it was used in the movie “es Mr.Children in FILM.” It’s a perfect song for those feeling lost or anxious, and for those striving toward their dreams.

Why not listen to this piece and try believing in your own strength?
