Saishinbu

It’s a tense, razor-edged number that opens the album MAGIC.

As the first track on the album released in March 2019, it immediately draws the listener down into the depths of emotion.

MAGIC is a masterpiece packed with hit songs that served as themes for films and dramas, yet placing this deliberately tie-in-free track at the very beginning makes you feel the band’s unwavering resolve.

The lyrics depict the anxieties everyone hides deep inside, and a cry for help like an SOS seeking salvation.

The stark, inescapably real words penned by Iyori Shimizu pierce the heart.

It’s different from the bittersweetness of romance—listen to it on nights when you want to face your own fragility.

It will stay close to a lonely heart.

I tried playing “Kaigan-dori” by back number on guitar

It’s a breakup song that expresses lingering feelings for an ex and frustration with myself for putting on a brave face.

It was included on the indie first mini album “Nogashita Sakana” released in 2009.

Although it’s an early track for back number, it has the same catchiness they’re known for today.

Majyoto Boku

This is a song by back number that depicts a heart swayed by a suggestive attitude.

While the singer continues to harbor the feeling of “wanting to see you,” you can sense the anguish of a man suffering over a femme fatale.

The track is included on the single “Happy End,” released in November 2016, and the first-press edition features a digest video of their Makuhari Messe performance.

The lyrics, which empathize with those struggling in unrequited love, have resonated with many listeners.

It might be the perfect song for those with a crush or those in complicated relationships.

How about listening to this song and facing your own feelings?

Bird’s Sorrow

A rock tune that kicks off with a drum beat after a burst of guitar feedback.

It’s featured on the album “blues” and really shines live.

The lyric “Our repeating everyday and this once-in-a-lifetime special today flow quietly on under the same sky” is particularly striking.

Included on back number’s 17th single “Mabataki,” released on December 20, 2017.

Have you ever realized, while you were asleep, “Oh, I’m dreaming right now”? This song is exactly about that situation.

The protagonist realizes he’s dreaming about the girl he likes and thinks, “If this is a dream, then…”—this and that.

A cute daydream song about a boy in love.
