Birthday

When it comes to back number’s birthday songs, most people think of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY,” but this track, “Birthday,” is a different song.

It’s the B-side of their eighth single, “Takane no Hanako-san,” released in 2013.

Among fans, it’s a highly popular number considered a masterpiece.

Like “HAPPY BIRTHDAY,” it initially seems like a birthday song, but it actually isn’t; its lyrics feel like they celebrate discovering a new self, striking a deep chord in the heart.

Mr. Perfectback number92rank/position

Mr. Perfect

Back Number’s classic “Mr.

Perfect” is striking for its nostalgic vibe.

Although it was released in 2019, the melody evokes the band’s early years.

The song as a whole is arranged with a somewhat relaxed rhythm.

Naturally, the vocal line also keeps a laid-back tempo, so there aren’t any drastic jumps in pitch.

The vocal range isn’t particularly wide for a back number song either, so even those who struggle with high notes should be able to sing it to some extent.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Bokuga Ima Dekirukotoo

Back number’s classic “Boku ga Ima Dekiru Koto wo” is striking for its acoustic first half.

It’s a gem where back number’s delicate lyrics and melody shine, and it’s especially popular among fans.

The song unfolds at a very slow tempo throughout.

While it does feature relatively many long notes, there aren’t any abrupt pitch jumps, so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.

Although songs centered on long notes are easier if you can do vibrato, the original performance doesn’t use vibrato either, so you don’t need to worry about that too much.

back number – “My Name” Music Video

I really like the way the lyrics are expressed.

Although the lyrics are from a male perspective, they don’t make women feel uncomfortable at all—in fact, it’s a song that makes you feel warm and fuzzy.

I especially liked the line “I’m yours.” I think it’s a song that soothes you no matter how many times you listen to it.

Translucent personback number95rank/position

Translucent Human / back number (cover)

This is a song included on the second single “Hanataba,” released in 2011, as well as on their major-label debut album “Superstar.” It sings of lingering feelings for a former lover and memories that won’t fade.

We all have times when we can’t forget past happiness.

That sentiment is captured in the title word, “Translucent.” If you’ve recently gone through a breakup, you might find its message especially relatable.
