A gentle songMr.Children

A “gentle song” recommended for when you’re feeling muddled or want to give yourself a pep talk.
It’s the 20th single released in 2001 by Mr.Children, a band that celebrated its 30th anniversary in May 2022 and continues to lead the J-pop scene.

The rolling bassline is cool, offering a different kind of swagger than the title suggests, while the mellow tenderness you can hear in the live versions can even bring you to tears.
