Singable recommended songs by back number [for karaoke song selection] (41–50)
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.
Singable recommended back number songs for karaoke selection (51–60)
Emeraldback number
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.
Express train to home for self-reflectionback number
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
“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.
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.
Song of Those Who Supportback number
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.
Supporting Actress Syndrome 2back number
“Supporting Actress Syndrome 2,” included as the B-side of back number’s 14th single and signature song “Christmas Song,” is a sequel to “Supporting Actress Syndrome,” the B-side of their 7th single “Aoi Haru.” Even if you haven’t experienced it yourself, the storyline lyrics have a heart-wrenching poignancy that tightens your chest.
The catchy melody, set against an ensemble that creates an unsettling undertone, is addictive and sticks in your ears, making it easy to remember as a karaoke repertoire choice.
While the overall vocal range is narrow, there are many melodic leaps, so be careful not to miss the pitches.
