Supporting Actress Syndromeback number
It’s a song that vividly portrays a hopeless love—one where the narrator, fully aware they’ll never be “the one,” continues a relationship in which they’re called on only when convenient.
Released as the B-side to back number’s 2012 single Aoi Haru and later included on the album blues, it depicts a protagonist who sarcastically acknowledges settling for an ambiguous relationship yet can’t stop the feelings that grow with every time they sleep together.
The fear that putting it into words would break everything keeps them swallowing the decisive confession, a detail that feels painfully real.
The groovy sound—highlighted by what Iyori Shimizu has called the standout bass line before the second chorus—is another draw, and the song became so beloved by fans that it even spawned a sequel, Supporting Actress Syndrome 2.

In 2009, she changed her stage name to Tsuki Amano and expanded her activities beyond music.

As the title suggests, it’s a song that portrays the mindset of a troubled girl, themed around being a “clingy” or “intense” woman in love.

Please don’t push yourself when things are tough.
