Singable songs by back number. Masterpieces you can sing without strain (41–50)
Paradeback number
back number’s iconic song “Parade” radiates an energetic vibe.
It features a chord progression similar to “Wata-gashi,” one of back number’s biggest hits, unfolding with melodies and vocal lines familiar to Japanese listeners.
Above all, its singability stands out thanks to the narrow vocal range.
Since the vocal line stays in the mid register, it doesn’t depend on the singer’s range, making it easy for anyone to sing well.

Spilling downback number
Mid-period back number was characterized by a somewhat aggressive, sharp-edged sound.
I imagine many fans love the youthful melodies from that time.
Among the easy-to-sing tracks that represent back number’s mid period, I recommend Kobore Ochite.
While the band often leans pop, this piece skews quite rock.
Its distinctly masculine melody stands out, so when you sing it, don’t worry too much about precise pitch—deliver it a bit rough.
There’s no falsetto, so even men with slightly husky voices should find it easy to sing.
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?
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.
sympathyback number
If we were to name back number’s greatest appeal, wouldn’t it be their emotional, delicate melodies? “sympathy” is a work that’s packed with everything that makes back number so good.
It features gentle lyrics that vividly evoke scenes, supported by a fitting melody.
In this song, falsetto appears right at the start of the chorus.
You can certainly sing it as in the original, but since the song doesn’t have that many low notes, it’s also a good option to boldly lower the key and sing that part in chest voice.
Lowering the key makes the song instantly easier, so definitely give it a try.
marchback number
While back number has many unrequited-love and heartbreak songs, they also have some about mutual love.
Among those, the especially singable track I’d recommend is “march.” Its lyrics portray the range of feelings you have while looking at your lover in the passenger seat, and the melody is memorable for its driving, road-trip sprint balanced with a chill vibe.
The vocal line here is very understated, repeating similar phrases over and over, so the difficulty level is quite low.
After you closed the doorback number
The back number classic “Kimi ga Doa wo Shimeta Ato,” where emotive lyrics truly shine.
Sung from a male perspective about the feelings right after a breakup, it’s characterized by its deeply heartrending lyrics.
Interestingly, despite its emotional words, the song features a surprisingly plain and understated vocal line.
Because of that, it’s easy to sing for those who struggle with ballad-like delivery that demands dramatic dynamics.
The vocal range is narrow and there are few long sustained notes, so even singers with lower or huskier voices should definitely give it a try.
