Nishifuji Parkback number64rank/position

Nishifuji Park

This is a classic song by back number set in a real park located in Ota City, Gunma Prefecture, the hometown of vocalist Iyori Shimizu.

Against the clear air of winter, the frustration of being unable to express one’s feelings to someone you love and the growing heartache are portrayed through a crystal-clear melody.

The track is included on their indie-era mini album “Nogashita Sakana,” released in February 2009.

It’s so beloved by fans that it was later re-recorded for the best-of album “Encore.” When you’re holding your feelings for someone dear close to your chest, listening to this song may gently stay by your side.

Red Fireworks

This is a celebrated ballad that contrasts the end of a bittersweet romance with giant blossoms blooming in the night sky.

Amid the glittering scenery, it sings of loneliness and bravado that stand out all the more.

Although the song was included on the album “Humor,” released in January 2023, it had actually already been performed during the fan club tour in 2021.

Nurtured with care through repeated live performances, it was finally recorded and released in its definitive form.

It’s perfect for nights when you want to feel the sting of a farewell and the frustration of not being able to touch the one you love.

There’s no tie-in, but many listeners will no doubt be moved to tears by the band’s quintessential, heart-wrenching sound.

Immerse yourself in this world that is quintessentially back number.

back number – “Song of the Black Cat” Music Video

Kuroi Neko no Uta by back number, released as a digital single in 2016.

The song served as the theme for the film Rudolph and Ippai Attena.

The movie features cats as its protagonists, and this track was written specifically for it.

While it paints a world of cats, it also resonates naturally when applied to humans—especially those who are lost or troubled.

It’s a song that captures the kind of direct, emotionally charged expression characteristic of back number.

back number - “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” Music Video (Theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama “A Story to Read When You First Fall in Love”)

If you can sing this one too, it’s truly cool—a moving song that can bring listeners to tears.

The opening lyrics and the quiet, acoustic, singer-songwriter feel make for a captivating introduction.

The way it steadily builds links with the drama of the lyrics, and if you practice a lot and pour your heart into the chorus, you just might capture your listeners’ hearts—perhaps that’s the kind of song this is.

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.

stay with meback number70rank/position

stay with me

A woman thinking about a man tormented by unrequited love.

Under the same rainy sky, he laments with a broken heart.

If it were me, I would never let him feel that way.

If I could, I would heal him.

Her earnest love, which can only go on wishing for his happiness even though she cannot do any of that, is enough to make my chest tighten.
