I want to hug you.Mr.Children

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

It was released in 1992 as Mr.

Children’s second single.

In 1996, it was used as an insert song in the final episode of the Fuji TV drama “Pure.” Originally written to be performed at a friend’s wedding, the song didn’t attract much attention at the time of release—partly because it came out simultaneously with their second album, “Kind of Love.” However, its tender, love-filled ballad style led to it being used at weddings, and it has since become one of the most popular ballads in Mr.

Children’s catalog.
