Karaoke Popular Song Ranking of back number [2026]

back number – My Name (full)

Boku no Namae o, a classic by back number released in 2016.

While it’s wrapped in a catchy melody, among the songs introduced here, this one might be a bit more challenging.

The main reason is the low falsetto that appears in the chorus.

Surprisingly, producing a piercingly high falsetto is relatively easy, but a soft, low falsetto is difficult—so those who struggle with falsetto may find this tough.

That said, it doesn’t appear often, and the notes are still within a range you can manage with chest voice, so if you boldly lower the key, the difficulty drops significantly.

Express train to home for self-reflectionback number51rank/position

Hansei Kyuukou Jitakuiki

back number’s heartbreak song “Reflection Line Express Bound for Home” overflows with a sense of speed.

It’s a breakup song that brilliantly captures their signature lingering attachment, wrapped in a sharp, early-2010s alternative rock melody.

The guitar riff has a slightly Asian Kung-Fu Generation-like feel.

Among back number’s catalog, this piece is particularly easy to sing.

With its generally narrow range and straightforward vocal line, it’s very singable; however, because it features a lot of long sustained notes, it’s recommended for people who are confident in their breath control but not necessarily in their overall vocal technique.

Sundayback number52rank/position

back number – Sunday (full)

The 5th single “Sunday,” used as the theme song for the TV drama Soup Curry starring TEAM NACS—well-known for all being from Hokkaido—features an arrangement highlighting strings and lyrics that warm the heart by depicting the love found in everyday moments.

While the melody generally stays within a narrow range, be mindful of the leaps in pitch in the chorus, where falsetto comes into play.

With its friendly, accessible melody, it’s a song that feels great to sing at karaoke and offers healing through its emotional message.

Lifeback number53rank/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.

fishback number54rank/position

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.

sympathyback number56rank/position

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.
