Mr.Children is one of the most popular bands in Japan. They made their major debut in 1992 with the release of their first album, "EVERYTHING", but it wasn't until one of their singles was used as a drama theme song, like their fourth single "Cross Road", that they started getting noticed. They got their big break in 1994 with the release of their fifth single, "innocent world", which made record sales and earned the Japan Record Award in 1994. Their fourth album, "Atomic Heart", which was released in the same year, is still their top selling album to date. Since then, all their singles have been number one hits in the Oricon charts like "Tomorrow never knows" and "Namonaki-uta", and many of them became million sellers, and they've produced other noteworthy albums.
In 1997, they took a long vacation, and came back to the Japanese music scene the next year with the single "Owari-naki-tabi."
Their sound is essentially a blend of light pop and classic rock. But due to the band's inclination to experiment with various music styles, their sound is constantly evolving. They have delved into various types of rock as well as jazz, blues, folk, country, and dance. Despite this constant change, however, their music has progressed successfully, proving them to be a versatile band that can last.
The main force behind the band is their singer and songwriter, Kazutoshi Sakurai, who composes almost all of their songs. The rest of the band include Kenichi Tahara on guitar, Keisuke Nakagawa on bass, and Hideya Suzuki (Jen) on drums and backing vocals. They also have supporting musicians on keyboards, guitar, brass instruments (trumpet and saxophone), and computer programming for their tours because they usually embellish their recordings.
It must be noted that a good part of what makes Mr.Children's songs unique is Sakurai's remarkable vocal ability. His vocal range is higher than the typical male range, and he sings with a noticeable Western style. Also, it is because he is influenced by the great classic rock artists of the '60s and '70s (in particular, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones) that the band's music usually has a classic rock feel. But being the vocalist of the band doesn't prevent him from sometimes sharing guitar solos with Tahara, or playing them by himself. He also plays the piano and harmonica proficiently.
Tahara and Nakagawa are the quietest members of the group, often choosing to remain in the background when the band appears on TV shows. Jen seems to be the most extroverted member who takes his top off onstage at any opportunity. He also always matches Sakurai's sense of humor. They are all very talented musicians who make vital contributions to the band.
On December 31, 2004, their song "Sign," was again awarded the Japan Record Award, ten years after the first.
Mr. Children has a long-time association with the Toys Factory record label.

君がいた夏
Mr.Children Lyrics
夕暮れの海に ほほを染めた君が
誰よりも 何よりも 一番好きだった
二人していつも あの海を見てたね
日に焼けた お互いの肩にもたれたまま
一日中 笑ってた
キリンぐらい首を 長くしてずっと
待っていたのが まるで夢のように
また夏が終わる もうさよならだね
時は二人を 引き離して行く
おもちゃの時計の針を戻しても
何も変わらない
Oh, I will miss you
君と出会ってから 何も手につかずに
意味のないラクガキを 繰り返しているよ
誰よりも早く 君を見つけたくて
自転車で駆け抜けた 真夏の朝早く
波打ち際たどって
秋が来れば僕ら また元の場所へ
戻ってくけど 気持ちはこのまま
また夏が終わる もうさよならだね
時は二人を 引き離して行く
言葉にできずに そっと離れても
いつか この胸に
Oh, I will miss you
ひまわりの坂道 駆け降りてく君が
振り向いた あの空の
眩しさが今でも
また夏が終わる もうさよならだね
時は二人を 引き離して行く
おもちゃの時計の針を戻しても
何も変わらない
Oh, I will miss you

@S14
一般的にミニアルバムの方を"デビュー作"、"君がいた夏"をデビュー曲と呼ぶのでは？
土踏まず
一応シングルとしてのデビューはこの曲ではありますね
S14
別にどっちでもいいんだけどデビューはミニアルバムの方だぜ！
1枚目のシングル曲であるコレを一般的にデビュー曲と呼ぶのかどうかまでは俺には分からん！！
呼ぶんならゴメンね！
