Mr. ChildrenI want to hug you.

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

It’s a ballad that evokes Christmas.

It’s a song by Mr.

Children, a rock band that represents the Japanese music scene, released in December 1992.

This track was used as an insert song in the final episode of the Fuji TV drama “Pure.” The lyrics, which sing of deep love and support for a wounded lover, really resonate.

The grand sound arrangement likely contributes to that feeling as well.

Spending Christmas with someone precious—makes you wonder if there’s any greater happiness.

Sing it softly and savor the season.
