back number – From the Hands We Held (full)

A poignant ballad that reflects on past romance and gradually realizes the value of a lost love.

It delicately portrays the warmth of happier days slowly cooling, as well as the magnitude of the other person’s presence that only becomes clear after the breakup.

Included on the 4th album “Love Story” released in March 2014, it was also used as the commercial song for JTB’s travel product “JTB Premium.” With a gentle, heart-touching melody and a relatable narrative, this song is relatively easy to sing at karaoke and is one you’ll want to try—especially if you’ve experienced heartbreak or parting.

MPRINCESS PRINCESS

Princess Princess “M”

A song by PRINCESS PRINCESS, the five-member band that was practically synonymous with the girls’ rock scene of the 1980s.

Although it was the B-side to their seventh single, “Diamonds,” it’s known as a classic that continues to be covered by many musicians today.

Its laid-back shuffle beat and wistful melody gently comfort a heart wounded by heartbreak.

The tempo is slow, making it easy to sing at karaoke, and because it’s so well-known, it’s a great number that everyone can hum along to.
