A warm ballad that gently depicts the misunderstandings, conflicts, and the importance of trust between lovers.

The relationship—born of strong feelings for the other person—that can bring about anxiety, hesitation, and sometimes arguments is portrayed from a down-to-earth perspective.

Blue Springback number19rank/position

back number – Aoi Haru (full)

I often think of back number’s songs as very “This is youth!” and this one is literally titled “Aoi Haru” (Blue Spring).

While it does have parts that sit comfortably for low male voices, the overall range is quite wide, spanning D3 to C5.

What’s more, the pitch jumps up suddenly from the C melody, and the last chorus modulates, raising the range even further.

If you sing it in the original key, the second half may feel quite high, so if you’re not used to it, you might want to lower the key by two or three steps.

If you do sing in the original key, it’s fine not to belt the high notes—falsetto can capture the vibe nicely too.

Try singing it while reminiscing about your own youthful days!

A masterpiece that beautifully portrays the inner landscape where the grief of losing a loved one intersects with the desire to hold on to their memories.
