Singable songs by back number. Great songs you can sing without strain (51–60)
What I can do nowback number
Back number’s classic “Boku ga Ima Dekiru Koto o,” with its strikingly 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 features quite a few sustained notes, there aren’t any abrupt pitch jumps, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.
Songs centered on long tones are better with vibrato, but since the original also doesn’t use vibrato, you don’t need to worry too much about that.
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.
apple pieback number
Apple Pie,” included on the 11th single “Heroine.” It’s a refreshing, guitar-riff-driven number said to have been arranged from a song that had existed five years before its release as a B-side.
With its cute, approachable melody and relatively narrow vocal range, it’s perfect even for those who want to try singing a back number song but aren’t very confident at karaoke.
Just be careful not to go off pitch, as there are many falsetto parts along the way.
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.

Blue amberback number
This work gracefully depicts profound sorrow and loneliness, accompanied by a wistful, resonant melody.
It conveys the emotional turmoil between grief over losing a loved one and the vengeful feelings born from that loss, expressed through delicate vocals and a beautiful melody.
Created by back number, the song was produced as the theme for the Kansai Television/Fuji TV Monday 10 p.m.
drama “From the Day You Took You Away,” which begins airing in April 2025.
Produced by Koichi Tsutaya, it is wrapped in gentle tones centered on piano and strings, and has also drawn words of empathy from lead actress Keiko Kitagawa.
It is a song that quietly stays close to the hearts of those who strive to move forward while carrying their sorrow.
Ritz partyback number
“Ritz Party,” included on their second album and major-label debut, Superstar.
For those of a certain generation, the phrase may also evoke a familiar commercial, and the song itself is a breezy ensemble that feels pleasant.
From the verse to the chorus, the vocal range stays narrow and the melody is relaxed, making it approachable even for people who aren’t confident at karaoke.
However, since the pitch remains high throughout, if you’re not comfortable with high tones, please set the key to one that suits you.
howlback number
“Howling,” included as the B-side to the 10th single “From the Hands We Held,” showcases back number’s more naive side through its lyrics, while the shadowy arrangement creates an addictive quality.
The melody maintains a consistently low tone that aligns with the message, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
Although the melodic range is narrow and catchy, it’s a quirky song, so it’s best to check who you’re going to karaoke with before adding it to your repertoire.
