Mr Children, musiciens du cinéma japonais
BIOGRAPHIE
Kenichi Tahara, Keisuke Nakagawa et Hideya Suzuki étaient dans le même collège durant leur enfance. Au lycée, ils ont malheureusement été séparés mais cela ne les a pas empéché de continuer à se voir. Dans leur nouvel établissement où ils se retrouvent, les deux premiers adolescents font la connaissance de Kazutoshi Sakurai. Tous les quatre décident, en 1988, de former un groupe de musique; originellement appelé The Walls. Ce n'est qu'un an plus tard que le nom deviendra Mr. Children. En 1992, sortent enfin leurs deux premiers albums : Everything et Kind of Love. Mais le succès viendra réellement grâce à la sortie du single Cross Road en 1993, qui se révèle être la chanson thème d'une série télévisée du moment. Ce dernier se vendra à plus d'un million d'exemplaires. En 1995, il reçoivent le Nihon Record Taishou Grand Prize pour récompenser la vente de Innocent World dans l'archipel, qui s'est écoulé à près de deux millions d'exemplaires. Par la suite, chacun de leurs albums se vendra aux alentours du même nombre; ceci confirmant que Mr. Children a décidement de beaux jours devant lui.
