[LUNKHEAD] New Single 'Starmine' PV (Release: 2014.8.13)

When it comes to summer, it’s got to be summer festivals, right? But I don’t have a girlfriend who’d go with me to such a fun festival…

With that lonely feeling, I end up going to the summer festival alone, and the song that comes to mind is something like this.

Just thinking about that girl in a yukata I saw that day still popping into my mind—it’s nothing but heartache, isn’t it?

“Himawari” is Mr.Children’s 37th single, released in 2017.

It reached No.

1 on the Oricon weekly chart and was chosen as the theme song for the Toho film “Let Me Eat Your Pancreas.” The song is filled with everything Kazutoshi Sakurai felt about the love portrayed in the movie, carrying an almost painfully earnest emotion that resonates with its story.

If you’re experiencing a love that always faces the sun like a sunflower, this song will likely speak to your heart.
