Singable recommended songs by back number [for karaoke song selection] (41–50)
petalback number
back number’s major-label debut single “Hanabira.” What’s striking is that their style was already firmly established at this point.
It’s still a popular track, so many of you have probably heard it.
The easiest-to-sing aspect of this song is definitely the vocal line.
It features a distinctly J-pop, catchy melody throughout, so you shouldn’t struggle much with pitch.
However, note that there’s one brief falsetto part in the first verse, and the pitch rises rather quickly in the C melody before the final chorus, so take care there.
To new loversback number
This song, which could be called the group’s signature track, is a warm piece that weaves together the feelings of becoming a parent.
Its heartrending lyrics and melody resonate deeply.
The delicate portrayal of a parent watching over their child’s growth is moving.
Written as the theme song for a Fuji TV Monday 9 p.m.
drama, it was released digitally in July 2024.
It marks back number’s first Monday 9 p.m.
drama theme in about nine years.
It’s a recommended track when you want to reflect on parent-child relationships and familial love, or when you wish to deepen your feelings for someone important.
Wrapped in the gentle vocals, why not think of someone dear to you?
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.
From the train windowback number
“From the Train Window,” included on their second album overall, Superstar.
This track was featured as an insert song in the film Navy-Blue Through Road, produced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the merger that formed Ota City in Gunma Prefecture.
The lyrics, set on the Tobu Isesaki Line running through the prefecture, really evoke vivid scenes.
The song maintains a low overall tone and has a narrow vocal range, making it a good choice even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.
Thanks to changes in the ensemble, the low pitch and limited range don’t feel burdensome—definitely a number worth adding to your repertoire.
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.
