There is meaning in life precisely within the gritty, unglamorous parts.

And it makes me feel that I’m not being half-hearted right now—I’m still in the middle of moving forward.

The lyrics and the manly vocals give me courage.

This song, which makes you quietly heat up inside, is perfect for an autumn day.

THE BACK HORN “Crystal of Light” MUSIC VIDEO

THE BACK HORN’s “Hikari no Kesshō” is a captivating track with a sound that feels like it’s charging straight forward.

The bass lays down a powerful rhythmic pulse as its foundation, and the insertion of accent-like phrases further highlights the sense of momentum.

Because it moves quickly from the rhythm-keeping position, how firmly you press the strings becomes important.

It may be useful to practice keeping your plucking fingers moving evenly and pressing each fret securely with its own finger.

monologue

A great song for beginner bands who want to captivate the audience on their first stage is THE BACK HORN’s “Hitorigoto.” The sound is heavy, but the rhythm is a simple 3/4, making it easy to play.

The guitar has parts where you just pluck gently and sections where you strum powerfully, so even beginners can enjoy dynamic contrasts while performing.

While it’s important to emulate vocalist Yamada’s passionate singing, it’s also a good idea to arrange it in your own style.

Definitely try this when you want a performance that stands out from other bands.
