This song was single-cut from their major debut mini album “EVERYTHING,” becoming Mr.

Children’s very first single.

When it was released in August 1992, they were still relatively unknown and it didn’t achieve commercial success.

However, under the production of Takeshi Kobayashi, it embodies the early Mr.

Children sound—evoking a slightly bittersweet youthfulness and a nostalgic atmosphere—and is cherished as a classic among fans.

Twenty-five years later, in 2017, it received its first tie-in with an NTT Docomo commercial.

Since it doesn’t feature especially high notes, it seems to be relatively easy to sing, so try belting out the chorus as if releasing the feelings you’ve kept in your heart.

Mr.Children “Kemonodo Road” MUSIC VIDEO

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.

This song, “Seesaw Game: Brave Love Song,” has also been a karaoke favorite and a classic since its release! It came out in August 1995 as their ninth single, and despite having no tie-in, it became a massive hit, selling over a million copies.

It’s a super poppy killer tune that pays homage—music video included—to Elvis Costello, the British musician whom Kazutoshi Sakurai greatly admires.

To sing it well at karaoke, a key point is expressing the contrast between the low melody in the verses and the high notes in the chorus.

There aren’t melodies that demand sustained high belts, so it’s basically easy to sing, but try to stay mindful of the unique rhythm created by Sakurai’s masterful word choices.

Also, the bridge leading into the final chorus might be a bit tough because of the higher notes, but it’s something you can power through—so don’t be afraid to give it a shot!

Mr.Children “Live” MUSIC VIDEO

This work was produced as the theme song for the 2022 film “Kingdom 2: To Distant Lands.” It was released in the memorable year that Mr.

Children celebrated their 30th anniversary.

It’s like an anthem for life that gives you a push forward, saying, “Even when times are tough, don’t give up hope—believe in yourself and live!” The powerful sound, where piano merges with a grand orchestra, conveys the band’s strong will and determination.

The chorus, which reaches into the higher register, is somewhat challenging, but try singing it without straining, cherishing each word as you go.
