Easy-to-sing recommended songs by back number [for karaoke song selection]

Emeraldback number

back number – Emerald

Emerald, the second digital single selected as the theme song for the TV drama “Dangerous Venus.” The intro featuring tight guitar cutting gives the entire ensemble a refreshing sense of drive and tension.

While the vocal range itself is narrow, the melody moves back and forth between chest voice and falsetto throughout, so it’s important to stay mindful not to miss the pitch.

If the original key doesn’t suit your voice, adjust to a comfortable setting, taking into account the falsetto sections and the key change near the end.

Lifeback number

Life

back number’s classic “Life.” The song features a chord progression that really showcases their signature style, yet it carries a slightly punk rock vibe.

Unlike many back number tracks that call for surprisingly delicate vocals, this one works even if you sing it pretty roughly, so it’s a good choice for those who struggle to produce a clean tone.

There’s a falsetto at the end of the chorus, but since it’s a low falsetto, if you want to emphasize the roughness, you could even try singing that part in chest voice instead.

Express train to home for self-reflectionback number

Hansei Kyuukou Jitakuiki

back number’s heartbreak song “Reflection Line Express Bound for Home” overflows with a sense of speed.

It’s a breakup song that brilliantly captures their signature lingering attachment, wrapped in a sharp, early-2010s alternative rock melody.

The guitar riff has a slightly Asian Kung-Fu Generation-like feel.

Among back number’s catalog, this piece is particularly easy to sing.

With its generally narrow range and straightforward vocal line, it’s very singable; however, because it features a lot of long sustained notes, it’s recommended for people who are confident in their breath control but not necessarily in their overall vocal technique.

Hold on a second with that dress.back number

Hold on a second with that dress.

“Wait a Second, That Dress,” included on the first album At no Matsuri (Aftermath).

The lyrics, which depict the complexities of a man’s heart so vividly that you can imagine the story from the title alone, are likely to resonate with many men.

The upbeat rhythm feels comfortable for karaoke and the vocal range isn’t wide, but be careful not to fall behind since the melody moves a bit quickly.

It’s a pop tune that blends bittersweet yet somewhat comical lyrics with a friendly melody, and will likely be a hit—especially at karaoke sessions with an all-male crowd.

Song of Those Who Supportback number

Sasaeru Hitono Uta

The song “Sasaeru Hito no Uta,” included on the second major album “blues.” Reading the lyrics, written from the perspective of someone devotedly supporting a loved one, may bring to mind the person who plays that role in your own life.

Although the overall key is high, the vocal range isn’t wide, so even if the original key feels difficult, it becomes easy to sing by adjusting it to your own key.

With a friendly, gentle melody that colors the message, it may not be an A-side single, but it’s a hidden gem you’ll definitely want to add to your karaoke repertoire.
