The song that comes after

back number portrays lingering attachment and regret after a breakup in unadorned, down-to-earth words.

“Ato no Uta,” included on their indie-era album Ato no Matsuri, is a hidden gem released in June 2010.

Back Number – Haru o Uta ni shite

A heartbreak song by back number that matches the cherry blossom season.

It’s included on their indie-era mini-album “Nogashita Sakana,” released in 2009.

Iyori’s vocals, filled to the brim with a cry from the heart, together with the band’s sound, make you feel like you’re about to emotionally collapse.

One of back number’s big appeals is their inevitably relatable lyrics, and in this song, the parts that explain the reason for the sadness are especially relatable—you might find yourself in tears.

A love that scattered in spring is just too heartrending.

Saying you won’t cry only makes it all the more tear-jerking…
