Blue Springback number

back number – Aoi Haru (full)

Born from the self-deprecating idea that to an ex-girlfriend they were nothing more than a “back number,” back number’s first-ever song breaking away from the theme of getting dumped.

It’s a track that seems to reflect the band’s own half-life of struggles since their indie days.

Kariyushi58 “Uku i Uta”

Because not everything in their youth was rosy, the words of Maekawa, the tattooed bass vocalist, carry a weight that hits home—distinct from the kind of easy, cookie-cutter pep songs that can be dashed off without much thought.
