A collection of back number’s heartfelt masterpieces: popular love songs

Sing of springback number

Turn Spring into a Song – back number [COVER]

More than the fact that we can’t meet, what saddens me most is that you’re fine even if you can’t see me.

The spring song sung by back number is sorrowful and heartrending.

The final lyrics, trying to let unrequited feelings dissolve into the warm spring breeze, leave me choked up no matter how many times I listen.

This is another masterpiece of a tearful song.

flighty feeling

This is the song “Uwatsuita Kimochi” included on the 2010 album “Ato no Matsuri.” It’s a cool track with a distinctive sense of rhythm, and the guitar tone is wonderfully gritty.

The song is about infidelity.

The lyrics are fascinating, starting from the perspective of the one who cheats and then shifting to the past self who was cheated on.

Listen closely to the lyrics!

Like rain that wets my cheeksback number

back number "Like the Rain That Wet My Cheeks" cover

This is another track from the album “Love Story.” With its simple beat, the melody and lyrics slip right in.

It’s a song where you can hear back number sounding more mature than in their indie days.

I feel like it’s perfect for a rainy Sunday.

The Witch and Meback number

New Song [Full] back number “The Witch and Me” With Lyrics & Chords Happy End CW / cover

Included on back number’s 16th single “Happy End,” released on November 16, 2016.

She’s someone who accepts even his worries.

She actually knows he likes someone else, but pretends not to see it.

This song portrays that situation.

The realistic and very heartrending lyrics strike a chord with listeners.

003back number

003

The song “003,” a hidden gem by back number, is beloved by many fans.

While back number often paints vivid scenes, this track stands out with its abstract, slightly fantastical lyrics.

Above all, its biggest charm is the chord progression.

It closely resembles progressions long used in classic Japanese pop, making it feel familiar almost at a genetic level.

As long as you focus on the chorus’s voltage—that surge of intensity—it doesn’t actually demand a very high vocal range, so give it a try.

Sympathyback number

back number – Studio performance video of the indie-era classics “sympathy” and “Kaze no Tsuyoi Hi” rearranged

A laid-back masterpiece from Nigasareta Sakana! Personally, I think the chorus melody is one of the most beautiful among back number’s songs.

It uses a lot of falsetto, which deepens the sense of wistfulness.

If someone sang it at karaoke, plenty of girls might find their hearts skipping a beat.

What I can do nowback number

Bokuga Ima Dekirukotoo

The walk home while watching a beautiful sunset.

Melancholic numbers you’d want to listen to in that kind of situation.

Being alive, being kept alive, your past self, your future self.

Someone’s heart, your own heart.

What is it you’re seeking? What is it you can do?
