[Karaoke] A List of Easy-to-Sing Mr.Children Songs (11–20)
palmMr.Children
While depicting the emotions stirred by the global situation and conflicts of the time, this song also contrasts them with the ordinary, everyday aspects of life, resulting in a highly message-driven piece.
Many listeners were likely struck by the lyrics, which carry a strong desire to understand one another despite differing values and beliefs.
A renowned song that won Song of the Year at the 18th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
For the chorus, which repeats ascending and descending motion, it’s easier to reach the peak notes if you sing with the image of drawing a wave rather than tracing each note one by one.
Atelier of LightMr.Children
This work is marked by its friendly, acoustic sound and warm lyrics that paint a palm-sized picture of hope.
Written as the theme song for the NHK morning drama “Beppin-san,” it was released in January 2017 as the band’s 36th single.
The lyrics gently convey the importance of continuing to move forward, resonating with many listeners who carry loneliness or uncertainty.
Featuring a marching, forward-moving groove and an organic, warm atmosphere, it emerges as a hopeful song quintessentially characteristic of Mr.
Children.
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.
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!
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.

Worlds endMr.Children
“Worlds End” was included as the first track on the album “I ♥ U,” released in September 2005.
Among Mr.
Children’s songs, it has a relatively minor-key feel and sounds really cool.
The chorus features expansive vocals that seem to resonate endlessly, making it very pleasant to listen to.
This technique of sustaining a note for a long time is called a long tone.
While the term “technique” might sound intimidating, in this song the sustained vowels are “e” and “o,” which makes it one of the easier types of long tones to try.
