Shifuku no Oto (シフクノオト) is the tenth studio album released by Mr. Children on April 7, 2004 which became the 2nd best selling album in 2004 .Its limited edition includes a documentary DVD on the making of the album and an interview with the band. The song "Tagatame" was originally made as a country-style song, but the band re-arranged the song as a rock song because Kazutoshi Sakurai felt that the lyric of the song didn't match the original arrangement.^[1]
