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