Back number is a three-piece rock band whose heart-wrenching vocals and highly relatable lyrics have earned strong support, especially among younger listeners.

Their song “Boku wa Kimi no Koto ga Suki dakedo Kimi wa Boku o Betsu ni Suki ja Nai Mitai” from their major-label fourth album, Chandelier, is a track that portrays lingering feelings for someone you still love even after being rejected.

The lyrics, depicting a one-sided love you can’t let go of, could almost be seen as a kind of ‘oshi-katsu’ in their own way.

It’s a pop-leaning rock tune marked by exquisitely phrased lines and a lively ensemble.
