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.

Mr.Children Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
評論家の指摘なんか気になんないくらい
インパクトこそないけど良い映画だったなぁ
ちょっぴり泣いてたろう？ 気が付いてたんだよ
僕にしたって そうよ
街中にゴシップが散撒かれてる
面白がって誰もがそれに火をつける
自分より劣ってる マヌケをあぶりだし
ホッと胸撫で下ろしてる
イライラした空気が僕の履くズボンの裾を踏んでる
立ち止まることで その先にある危険から逃れる手段もあるだろうが
Oh No!
焔
蒼白き瞳の焔で
その薄暗い足元を照らし出せ
道は続いてる
すごく欲しかった物から そうでもないモンまで
クリック ドラッグ R＆R 何だって手に入る
さぁ 油断して渡ろう 慢心して進もう
文明の恩恵の上を
たまに不吉な夢見るんだよ
走っているのに進まない
ひょっとしたら実際に起きてることを夢の中で知らせるメタファーかも
Oh No!
想像してたよりも速いスピード
この迫り来る敵に立ち向かう
準備はできたかい？
ドンキホーテみたいに さぁ
フワフワした気分で地に足が着かない
いつまでしがみついていれるかな？ この地球の上
Nowhere ！？
イライラした空気が君の履くヒールの踵を蹴りつける
引き返すことで その先にある危険から逃れる手段もあるだろうが
Oh No!
焔
蒼白き瞳の焔で
その危なっかしい足元を照らし出せ
道は続いてる
そう続いてくんだ
批判家の指摘も間違っちゃいないけど
今僕らの目の前で起こってることを
楽観も悲観もなく
ちゃんと
インパクトこそないけど良い映画だったなぁ
ちょっぴり泣いてたろう？ 気が付いてたんだよ
僕にしたって そうよ
街中にゴシップが散撒かれてる
面白がって誰もがそれに火をつける
自分より劣ってる マヌケをあぶりだし
ホッと胸撫で下ろしてる
イライラした空気が僕の履くズボンの裾を踏んでる
立ち止まることで その先にある危険から逃れる手段もあるだろうが
Oh No!

理解してどう動くかを考えよう
The lyrics of Mr.Children's 終末のコンフィデンスソング, which translates to "Confidence Song for the End of the World," speak about the struggles of modern society and the need for hope and confidence in the face of adversity. The song acknowledges the impact of criticism and gossip in the world, but encourages listeners to focus on the good things in life, even if they are not flashy or attention-grabbing. The mention of dreams that do not come true and the need to face danger head-on also serves as a reminder that life is not always easy, but resilience and courage can help us overcome obstacles.
