bouquetback number1rank/position
A gem of a mid-tempo ballad by back number that portrays a young couple’s unstable relationship and deep affection.
The down-to-earth dialogue between the two reveals the subtle emotional shifts that occur in love.
Released in June 2011, the track is included on the album “Superstar” and was used as the ending theme for TBS’s COUNT DOWN TV.
Conveying the desire to keep caring for one another despite anxieties about the future, it’s a song you’ll want to take your time singing at karaoke.
Happy Endingback number2rank/position
This work was released in 2016 as the 16th single by back number, a three-piece rock band from Gunma.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday.” While the title might seem contradictory because the lyrics portray the bittersweet feelings of a protagonist trying to accept a breakup, in English it can carry the nuance of “a happy time coming to an end,” which deepens the meaning of the words.
Even as the singer tells themselves it’s going to be okay, they can’t sever their feelings for the other person deep down, and that inner conflict comes through almost painfully.
The majestic strings layered over the band sound are also beautiful, and just following the melody can bring you to tears.
Anyone who has experienced a breakup may find their emotions from that time coming back as they listen.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYback number3rank/position
An emotionally moving medium-tempo ballad that portrays the complex feelings of unrequited love—from the faint expectations on the eve of a birthday to the ache of emotions that never reach their destination.
In contrast to the happiness of a birthday, the loneliness and the sorrow of being unable to express one’s feelings straightforwardly resonate with a delicate melodic line.
Released in February 2019, the song was featured as the theme for the TBS drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love,” and was also included on the album “MAGIC.” With vocals that gently embrace the bittersweet emotions of love that everyone has experienced, it’s a song well-suited for karaoke, where it can be performed in a calm, composed manner.

Among back number’s songs, the massive hit is “Takane no Hanako-san.” The overall vocal range spans E3 to D5, which is fairly wide, but the melody is clearly divided into sections with distinct ranges, making it easier to switch between parts while singing.
Also, the tempo is surprisingly fast, so it’s best to lean forward a bit and sing proactively so you don’t get left behind.
In particular, the latter half has many sections where you’re singing continuously, so the key is to use your body to keep a steady rhythm as you sing.
In the quieter chorus section in the middle, using a gentle tone will let your voice carry and make it easier to sing.
Happinessback number5rank/position
“Shiawase,” included as the B-side to back number’s debut single “Hanabira,” is a track whose string-featured, wistful arrangement tightens the chest.
Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics’ storyline, which evokes the image of someone stepping back for the sake of a loved one.
Although it’s sung by a male vocalist, the key is high, making it an easy number for women to sing at karaoke.
Heroineback number6rank/position
A winter love song that delicately portrays the protagonist’s aching feelings.
Its faint, tender romance is supported by back number’s signature nuanced storytelling and warm musicality, resonating deeply with listeners.
Released as a single in January 2015, it also became well known as the campaign song for JR East’s “JR SKISKI.” Later, in 2020, Shimizu Iyori’s stripped-down solo version was featured in a commercial for Kirin’s Tanrei Green Label.
Singing of a bittersweet winter love, the song’s relatable lyrics and gentle melody appeal to all genders, and its singability is part of its charm.
At karaoke, make the most of its comfortable range for a soft, heartfelt performance.

A gem of a track by back number that gently stays close to your heart whenever you hit a wall in life.
Even amid the despair that feels like your dreams and hopes are collapsing, the lyrics portray the journey of looking inward and eventually finding light—sure to move you deeply.
This song is also known for being created in August 2020 for high school students after the Inter-High Championships were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While affirming frustration and sorrow, it gives a sense of the view that awaits beyond overcoming them.
As you step into a new world at graduation, you may feel anxiety or loneliness.
In those moments, this song will wrap your pain in its embrace and give you the quiet courage to take that first step.
Old-fashionedback number8rank/position
Released in November 2018 as the 19th single, this song was newly written as the theme for the TBS Friday drama “A Big Love: With You Who Forget Me.” It’s a gem of a love song that layers the miracle of an unexpected encounter and the memories that remain after parting with a lover onto the small, everyday motif of a donut.
The lyrics heighten the poignancy as they shift from a complementary relationship—“you had everything I was missing”—to a sense of loss recounted in the past tense.
Set at a mid-tempo pace, the melody should be easy to sing at karaoke!

It’s the perfect song for a winter night when, despite the glittering bustle of the city, you can’t help but think only of someone special.
The lyrics delicately portray the frustration of not being able to see the person you want to see right away, and the overflowing tenderness that persists nonetheless—it really tightens your chest, doesn’t it? This track is back number’s 14th single, released in November 2015, and it shot to fame as the theme song for the TV drama “5→9: From Five to Nine.” Produced by Takeshi Kobayashi, its warm yet heartrending sound woven from piano and strings is outstanding.
The chorus sits a bit in the higher range, so try to sing lightly without forcing your voice.
