Covering back number’s smash-hit songs on piano! Carefully selected recommended sheet music

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Back Number began their band activities in 2004 and, since their major-label debut in 2011, have released numerous hit songs.

Their tracks are so memorable that anyone who listens will feel, “I think I’ve heard this somewhere,” and they consistently enjoy strong support from a wide range of generations.

This time, we’re highlighting some of Back Number’s most popular songs!

We’ll give you a thorough introduction, along with recommended sheet music for those who want to try playing them on piano and the corresponding performance videos.

Released in 2012, “Koi” portrays the bittersweet, awkward love of youth through beautiful melodies and lyrics.

Many of us have found our eyes drifting to our crush, or even prayed to God, “Please let me end up with them,” right? Just thinking of the person you like makes your heart race with excitement, while the frustration of feelings not quite reaching them lingers.

Why not relive those sweet-and-sour memories of youth by playing it on the piano? Adding subtle nuances—gradually intensifying ascending phrases and softening descending ones—will make it easier to express the ebb and flow of emotion.
