Challenging Mr.Children Songs | A Must-See for Confident Singers! A Collection of Mr.Children’s Difficult Tracks (1–10)
GIFTMr.Children
Among Mr.
Children’s ballads, GIFT is a standout that gained particular popularity.
This song boasts a fairly wide vocal range, with the lowest note at mid1 A and the highest at Hi B.
While it doesn’t demand delicate, falsetto-like vocals, it requires you to sing the high parts using mixed voice—or even chest voice—with a bit of a shout.
On top of that, the chorus repeatedly hits hi A and mid2 G, so in terms of high-note stamina, it ranks among the most challenging within Mr.
Children’s catalog.
fanfareMr.Children
Mr.
Children’s classic “fanfare,” which evokes the vibe of UK rock.
Although it features a crisp, punchy rock sound, the vocals frequently employ shouts, so powerful singing is required in every section.
The range is fairly wide, from mid1 C# to hi A#, and the hi A parts demand both shouting and sustained long tones, requiring solid foundational vocal technique.
If you’re confident in a raw, gritty vocal style, be sure to add this to your repertoire.
REMMr.Children
Among Mr.
Children’s songs, one I especially recommend for its wide vocal range is REM.
The song spans a remarkably broad range from mid1 F# to hi B, with the highest note, hi B, appearing repeatedly in the A, C, and D sections.
The pitch moves up and down dramatically, and notes like hi B and hi A show up right after mid2 F# or mid2 G as if it’s nothing, so you’ll need excellent pitch control.
There are also many shout-like parts, which demand strong vocal cords.
If you’re confident in your singing ability, definitely give it a try.
NOT FOUNDMr.Children
At the time of its release, the masterpiece “NOT FOUND,” touted as Mr.
Children’s greatest work, drew a lot of attention.
While the chest voice sits in a slightly higher range of mid1 C# to hi A, it still falls within a generally standard vocal range.
The falsetto reaches hi C#, and since it appears in every chorus, you should pay particular attention to it.
Aside from being a bit on the high side, the main challenges are the falsetto in the chorus and the long sustained notes, so although it’s difficult, you should be able to tackle it if you focus on the key points.
and I love youMr.Children
The piece “and I love you” is striking for its breezy instrumentation and sultry vocals.
The trickiest part is, without a doubt, the falsetto in the chorus.
Because the pitch moves up and down quite dramatically, there’s a real risk of going off-pitch in the falsetto sections.
In the final chorus, consecutive shouts appear, and since many of them rely on a shout + mixed voice technique, you’ll need not just height but also fullness in the high notes.
The lowest note is mid2 A, so there’s room to lower the key, but the highest note is hi D.
Make sure to assess your own vocal timbre and range carefully, and set the key to what suits you best.
Endless JourneyMr.Children
Mr.
Children’s classic “Owarinaki Tabi,” released in 1999, is a million-selling hit that remains a staple for the band’s fans today.
While the song spans mid1 B to hi C#—slightly high for a male vocalist—it stays within a singable range depending on key adjustment.
As for the hi C#, it only appears twice in the final chorus, which might seem reassuring; however, the pitch movement there is somewhat intense, so thorough preparation is necessary.
broom star (comet)Mr.Children
Speaking of Mr.
Children, I think the most striking feature is their raw, gritty vocals.
In fact, most of their songs follow that kind of style, but there are also tracks that require delicate vocal control.
One of them is “Houkiboshi.” Its range is wide, spanning from mid1 A to hi B, and the pitch movement is extremely rapid.
The chorus repeatedly features phrases where it jumps straight from a mid-range chest voice to a high falsetto.
If you’re confident in your pitch control, give it a try.
