[Karaoke] A List of Easy-to-Sing Mr.Children Songs (11–20)
Nameless PoemMr.Children
Selling over 1.2 million copies in its first week alone and rewriting Oricon chart records, this smash hit vividly shows just how unstoppable Mr.
Children were at the time! Released in February 1996, “Namonaki Uta” was also used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Pure,” and as mentioned above, it became a record-breaking hit and one of Mr.
Children’s signature songs.
Its bittersweet melody and lyrics bursting with Sakurai’s knack for words only grow more profound the more you listen.
Naturally, it’s also hugely popular at karaoke, and while it doesn’t venture into fearsome high notes—making it relatively easy to sing in that sense—the rapid-fire, densely packed lyrics can be tricky if you can’t lock into the rhythm.
I recommend taking solid breaths wherever you can sneak them in and belting it out with the mindset of doing a Sakurai impression!
the scent of flowersMr.Children
“The Scent of Flowers,” notable for its gentle piano accompaniment.
This song was chosen as the theme for the film “Watashi wa Kai ni Naritai” (I Want to Be a Shellfish), starring Masahiro Nakai, released in November 2008.
The theme of the song is “the preciousness of life, and how a life continues to live on in someone’s heart even after death.” Among Mr.
Children’s songs, this one has an especially relaxed tempo.
A slower tempo allows you to sing each phrase carefully.
Also, if you articulate the lyrics clearly as you sing, your vocal production becomes clearer and it will feel easier to sing.
Give it a try!
coloring; color scheme; hues; decoration; embellishment; added flair (figurative)Mr.Children
A splash of “color” that brightens up everyday life.
This song was used as the image song for Olympus’s TV commercial “E-410,” which featured actress Aoi Miyazaki.
It’s included on the 2007 album “HOME.” The highest note used in this song is A4, and the lowest is B1, which some people may find a bit uncomfortably low.
The melody is so simple you can remember it after just one listen.
In terms of tempo, rhythm, and lyric density, it’s all quite standard.
If the vocal range suits you, it should feel very easy to sing!
himawariMr.Children
Himawari, which was chosen as the theme song for the film Let Me Eat Your Pancreas starring Minami Hamabe, was released in July 2017 as their 37th single.
You’ll likely find it quite easy to sing thanks to its tempo, which feels like a gentle walking pace.
The chorus features a melody that uses triplets, and once you get used to it, you can sing along smoothly with the rhythm.
The melody rarely jumps suddenly to high notes; instead, it gradually rises from the lower range, which also makes it easier to sing.
Toward the lightMr.Children
A single released in January 1999 that feels quintessentially late-’90s, featuring various experimental elements like groovy guitar riffs and programmed beats.
It could be called a hidden gem that showcases their rock side, letting you enjoy a different facet of Mr.
Children from their massively popular ballads.
In terms of vocal range, Hikari no Sasu Hou e doesn’t venture into particularly high notes, so it should be approachable for those who struggle with the upper register.
However, when you actually sing the melody—born from a slightly unusual chord progression—you may find the pitch a bit tricky to lock in.
Since it has a flavor distinct from typical J-pop, with arguably more Western influences, it’s best to listen closely and familiarize yourself with it before tackling it at karaoke.
Beast RoadMr.Children
Since their major debut in 1992, Mr.Children have consistently released songs every year and produced a string of hits.
Among their catalog, Kemonomichi is a track that many fans praise as “the greatest masterpiece of all.” While the song stands out for its serious and grandiose melody, the vocal line is on the easier side.
It’s not that the vocal range is particularly narrow, but there is always sufficient breathing room before long notes and high notes, so you’ll have less to worry about running out of breath or your voice cracking.

CANDYMr.Children
Mr.Children’s classic song “CANDY,” included on the acclaimed 2005 album “I♡U.” This piece is characterized by a fairly wide vocal range of mid1 C# to hi B, with the highest chest note at hi A.
Although that note doesn’t appear often, it comes up once in each pre-modulation chorus, so before singing, be sure to focus on diaphragmatic breathing and conscious breath control.
If you’re confident in your upper range, it might be interesting to challenge yourself by singing the post-modulation hi B not in falsetto but with a mixed voice.
