Back Number – Hanako-san on a High Pedestal

Back Number often provides theme songs for TV dramas and films and is a band with a high level of name recognition.

They have created many songs centered on romance, garnering widespread empathy and support from a broad range of listeners.

In addition to the intrinsic appeal of their music, one of their strengths lies in vocalist Iyori Shimizu’s richly resonant lower-mid register and the familiar, catchy melodies that make you want to hum along.

They’re recommended even for those who don’t usually listen to rock bands, and they’re also a group that regular rock listeners should revisit.
