Singable recommended songs by back number [for karaoke song selection] (41–50)

003back number

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.

Ritz partyback number

“Ritz Party,” included on their second album Superstar—their major-label debut—is a refreshing ensemble number whose very phrase may evoke a certain TV commercial for those of a certain generation.

With a narrow vocal range from the verse through the chorus and a relaxed melody, it’s likely easy to sing even for those not confident at karaoke.

However, since the pitch stays consistently high throughout, if high tones aren’t your forte, be sure to set the key to one that suits you.

apple pieback number

Apple Pie, included on their 11th single Heroine.

It’s a refreshing, guitar-riff-driven number said to have been arranged from a song that had existed for five years before being released as a B-side.

The cute, familiar melody doesn’t span a wide vocal range, making it perfect for those who want to try singing a back number song but aren’t very confident at karaoke.

However, be careful not to go off pitch, as there are many falsetto parts throughout.

howlback number

“Howling,” included as the coupling track to the 10th single “From the Hands We Held.” The lyrics, which bring out back number’s naïve side, together with the shadowy arrangement, create an addictive appeal.

Because the melody proceeds in a consistently low tone that aligns with the message, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

The melodic range is narrow with a catchy hook, but since it’s also a bit idiosyncratic, it’s a number you’ll want to add to your repertoire only after checking who’s going to karaoke with you.

City of Lightback number

Back number is notable for lyrics with a strong narrative quality.

Their superb emotional expression—so vivid it practically visualizes the story—is arguably their greatest strength.

A masterpiece where such lyrics shine is “Hikari no Machi.” Though the excellent lyrics may steal the spotlight, this song actually features a very catchy melody.

For a ballad-style track, it has relatively modest dynamic contrasts, and none of the parts require a particularly wide vocal range, making it approachable for those who aren’t confident singers.

For a back number song, there’s a slightly higher frequency of vibrato, so it might be a perfect choice as a practice piece for working on vibrato.
