Singable recommended songs by back number [for karaoke song selection] (31–40)
sympathyback number
Speaking of back number’s greatest appeal, it has to be their emotional, delicate melodies, right? Their song “sympathy” is a work that’s packed with everything that makes back number so good.
It features soft, evocative lyrics that clearly paint a scene, supported by a fitting melody.
In this piece, falsetto appears right at the start of the chorus.
Singing it as in the original is perfectly fine, but since there aren’t that many low parts, it’s also a great option to boldly lower the key and sing it in chest voice.
Lowering the key makes the song significantly easier, so definitely give it a try.
Spilling downback number
Back number’s mid-period was characterized by a slightly aggressive, sharp-edged sound.
Many fans probably love the youthful melodies from that time.
A highly recommended, easy-to-sing song representing this era is Kobore Ochite.
While the band often leans pop, this track is decidedly more rock.
Its distinctly masculine melody means you shouldn’t worry too much about precise pitch when singing—go for a rougher delivery.
There’s no falsetto, so it should be comfortable even for men with a slightly raspy voice.
The curtain risesback number
It’s the theme song for the theatrical release “TOKYO MER: Mobile Emergency Room – Nankai Mission,” hitting theaters on August 1, 2025, and it feels very much like a classic back number track.
Compared to other songs, the average vocal range is lower and the difficulty is relatively mild, making it easier to take on; however, there are lots of switches between chest voice and falsetto in the chorus and the bridge.
I think that’s the key to really delivering this song! Basically, aim to resonate in the head and sing the whole piece gently.
That way, your chest voice won’t sound forced but will come out airy and open, making transitions to falsetto smoother.
Also, falsetto uses more breath than you might think, so take in plenty of air through your mouth wherever you can breathe.
The highest note, C5, appears in the bridge; if you imagine ringing the very top of your head and push a little more firmly there, it should land beautifully!
blinkback number
The 17th single “Mabataki,” chosen as the theme song for the film “The 8-Year Engagement,” carries a love-filled message that resonates with the movie’s story and is sure to move you.
Its friendly, shuffle-beat melody makes it easy to remember, and since the overall vocal range isn’t wide, it’s easy to sing.
However, if you’re not comfortable with the bouncy rhythm, be sure to listen closely to the karaoke track as you sing.
Although the range is narrow, the key is relatively high, so if it feels difficult, consider trying it in a key that suits your voice.
What I can do nowback number
Back number’s classic “Boku ga Ima Dekiru Koto wo” is striking for its acoustic first half.
It’s a gem where back number’s delicate lyrics and melody shine, and it’s especially popular among fans.
The song unfolds at a very slow tempo throughout.
While it does feature relatively many long notes, there aren’t any abrupt pitch jumps, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.
Although songs centered on long notes are easier if you can do vibrato, the original performance doesn’t use vibrato either, so you don’t need to worry about that too much.

my nameback number
Boku no Namae o, a classic by back number released in 2016.
While it’s wrapped in a catchy melody, among the songs introduced here, this one might be a bit more challenging.
The main reason is the low falsetto that appears in the chorus.
Surprisingly, producing a piercingly high falsetto is relatively easy, but a soft, low falsetto is difficult—so those who struggle with falsetto may find this tough.
That said, it doesn’t appear often, and the notes are still within a range you can manage with chest voice, so if you boldly lower the key, the difficulty drops significantly.
Paradeback number
Parade, a signature hit by back number, exudes an energetic vibe.
This piece features a chord progression similar to one of back number’s biggest hits, Watagashi, and unfolds with melodies and vocal lines that feel familiar to Japanese listeners.
Above all, its most singable point is undoubtedly the narrow vocal range.
Since the vocal line develops entirely within the mid-range, it doesn’t depend on the singer’s range, making it easy for anyone to sing without difficulty.
