Mr.Children “I Want to Hold You” Mr.Children [(an imitation) blood orange] Tour

A gemlike love ballad whose sweet, wistful feelings seep gently into the heart.

Created by Mr.Children in December 1992, the song is marked by its key changes—born from producer Takeshi Kobayashi’s idea—and the tender tone of the piano.

Infused with pure affection and devoted sentiment, its melody exudes a grown-up allure perfect for a late-night lounge.

It was featured as an insert song in the Fuji TV drama “Pure” and used in NTT Docomo commercials, and has been covered by many artists, including Ryuichi Kawamura and Anri.

Its warmth, which seems to envelop deep feelings for a loved one, is part of its charm, and as a song that keeps close company on nights spent with someone special, it has been etched into the hearts of many.

Mr.Children “Tabidachi no Uta” MUSIC VIDEO

March is the season when farewells like graduations and job transfers await.

You might even be separated from someone important to you.

This song is also about parting with someone dear.

However, rather than treating parting as something sad, it expresses the feeling of celebrating it as a new departure.

Even if you part ways, the feeling of support remains unchanged, and surely you’ll meet again somewhere—this is a song that gives you that kind of positive outlook! It was also used as the theme song for the 2007 film “Koizora” (Sky of Love).
