Karaoke Popular Song Ranking of back number [2026]

003back number50rank/position

003

The song “003,” a hidden gem by back number, is beloved by many fans.

While back number often paints vivid scenes, this track stands out with its abstract, slightly fantastical lyrics.

Above all, its biggest charm is the chord progression.

It closely resembles progressions long used in classic Japanese pop, making it feel familiar almost at a genetic level.

As long as you focus on the chorus’s voltage—that surge of intensity—it doesn’t actually demand a very high vocal range, so give it a try.

Lifeback number51rank/position

Life

back number’s classic “Life.” The song features a chord progression that really showcases their signature style, yet it carries a slightly punk rock vibe.

Unlike many back number tracks that call for surprisingly delicate vocals, this one works even if you sing it pretty roughly, so it’s a good choice for those who struggle to produce a clean tone.

There’s a falsetto at the end of the chorus, but since it’s a low falsetto, if you want to emphasize the roughness, you could even try singing that part in chest voice instead.

back number – fish (full)

This is a heartbreak song that portrays the poignant feelings for a love that will never return, hidden deep within the heart.

Amid an urban sound, the vocals brim with power, as if emotions are overflowing, and that contrast heightens the sentiment.

Released in February 2014, this track is the band’s ninth single and is also included on their fourth album, “Love Story.” Listening to this piece, which depicts the cruel reality faced by the female protagonist, will bring tears to women suffering from heartbreak as their emotions spill over.

It’s a recommended song for anyone who has someone they just can’t forget.

march

While back number has many unrequited-love and heartbreak songs, they do have some mutual-love tracks as well.

Among them, the one I particularly recommend for its ease of singing is March.

Its lyrics capture the various feelings that arise while looking at a lover sitting in the passenger seat, and the melody is striking—full of a driving sense of speed that evokes a road trip, yet tinged with a chill vibe.

The vocal line in this song is very understated, repeating similar phrases over and over, so the level of difficulty is quite low.

sympathy

Speaking of back number’s greatest appeal, it has to be their emotional, delicate melodies, right? Their song “sympathy” is a work that’s packed with everything that makes back number so good.

It features soft, evocative lyrics that clearly paint a scene, supported by a fitting melody.

In this piece, falsetto appears right at the start of the chorus.

Singing it as in the original is perfectly fine, but since there aren’t that many low parts, it’s also a great option to boldly lower the key and sing it in chest voice.

Lowering the key makes the song significantly easier, so definitely give it a try.

tenderback number55rank/position

tender

One song that lets you feel their early musical style, “tender.” This track encapsulates the early hallmarks of back number with its loud sound and arrangement.

Some listeners may feel put off by intense-sounding songs.

While it’s true that the track maintains a loud feel throughout, the vocal line itself is quite simple.

There aren’t drastic pitch jumps, so as long as you can hold your long tones, anyone can sing it.

If you want to sing it even better, raise the key by one or two steps so that a natural shout comes out in the higher range.

Koboreochite

Back number’s mid-period was characterized by a slightly aggressive, sharp-edged sound.

Many fans probably love the youthful melodies from that time.

A highly recommended, easy-to-sing song representing this era is Kobore Ochite.

While the band often leans pop, this track is decidedly more rock.

Its distinctly masculine melody means you shouldn’t worry too much about precise pitch when singing—go for a rougher delivery.

There’s no falsetto, so it should be comfortable even for men with a slightly raspy voice.
