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
ド派手なメイクをしてたロックスターでさえ
月日が経ってみりゃジェントルマン
時が苦痛ってのを 洗い流すなら
タイムマシーンに乗って未来にワープしたい
前略 宮沢賢治様
僕はいつでも
理想と現実があべこべです
「雨ニモマケズ 風ニモマケズ」
優しく強く 無欲な男
「ソウイウモノ」を目指してたのに
管理下のコヤで
教科書を広げ 平均的をこよなく愛し
わずかにあるマネーで
誰かの猿真似
それが僕たちの世代です
How do you feel? どうか教えておくれ
この世に生まれた気分はどんなだい?
How do you feel? 飽食の土地で
優雅に息する気分はどんなだい?
Ah huh ah huh ah huh
人生はアドベンチャー
たとえ踏み外しても
結局楽しんだ人が 笑者です
前略 ルイ・アームストロング様
次の世代にも
しゃがれた声で歌ってやってくれ
心を込めて「ワンダフルワールド」
恋の名の元に 少女は身を売り
プライドを捨てブランドを纏った
マスコミがあおりゃ 若さに媚売る
時代の着せ替え人形です
How do you feel? どうか答えておくれ
この地で死にゆく気分はどんなだい?
How do you feel? 安定した暮らしに
老いてくだけの自分ならいらんのだ
Ah huh ah huh ah huh
Ah huh ah huh ah huh
侵略の罪を 敗戦の傷を
アッハッハ 嘲笑うように
足並み揃えて 価値観は崩壊してる
オットット こりゃまるで
タイトロープダンシング
Ah 君に幸あれ
きっと明日は晴れ
本心で言えるならいいですね
How do you feel? どうか教えておくれ
この世に生まれた気分はどんなだい?
How do you feel? どうか水に流してくれ
愚かなるこのシンガーのぼやきを
How do you feel? どうか教えておくれ
この地で死にゆく気分はどんなだい?
Huh ah huh, huh ah huh, huh ah huh
Huh ah huh, huh ah huh, huh ah huh
Huh ah huh, huh ah huh, huh ah huh
月日が経ってみりゃジェントルマン
時が苦痛ってのを 洗い流すなら
タイムマシーンに乗って未来にワープしたい

この時代のMr.Childrenをリアルタイムで見てみたかった…

身も心もボロボロになり自らの歌を「愚かなるシンガーのぼやき」とまで言い放った人がDISCOVERY、Qで自分探しを続けIt’s a wonderful worldで蘇生する、という流れがすっごい好きなんだよな
Mr.Childrenにはドラマ性がある
マルピーギ小林
そう。メンタルがここまてストレート楽曲に反映されてるアーティストも珍しい。
あしゅとりゃあ
当時のファンに「優しい歌」を聴かせても、ミスチルとは信じないでしょうね
John Lennon
愚かなるシンガー（推定資産：数十億円～数百億円）
ダブルチーズバーガー
なんだと〜、私なんてまだまだじゃん！歌詞もちゃんと聞こう_(:3｣ ∠)_

02 surveillance すごいこのコメント好きです
サルバドール太郎
Mr.Childrenはボーカル何人もいるんじゃないかって思えるぐらい曲によって雰囲気も歌い方も変えてくるからたまんない。
おさる
過去を悔やんで過去に戻るのにタイムマシーンを使うのじゃなくて苦痛を洗い流すために未来にタイムマシーンを使う所がやっぱりミスチルらしいですね！
いまじかる。
これが高画質で手軽に見させてくれるのに感動と感謝しかない
