THE BACK HORN 「Days」 MUSIC VIDEO

“Days” is the only new track included on the rearrangement album REARRANGE THE BACK HORN, released to commemorate the band’s 25th anniversary.

The lyrics—fitting for such a milestone, as they look back on the path the members have walked together—inevitably tug at your heartstrings, don’t they? I think these lyrics also work perfectly as a friendship song for friends who’ve shared so much time, or as a bond song for couples who have supported each other over many years.

THE BACK HORN "Junk Worker" Music Video

This is a digital single by THE BACK HORN that squarely confronts the act of labor and sharply depicts the distortions of modern society.

Released in July 2024 as the second installment of the “Light and Shadow” series, it was later included on the album Dear You, released in January 2025.

Its innovative sound—fusing sutra-style rap with trap and grunge—vividly captures the exhaustion and anger of people trapped in harsh working conditions.

The heavy, sinking beats and distorted guitars weave a sonic landscape that’s sure to awaken the strength to resist an unreasonable reality.

It’s a song to play when you’re worn out from work, when you still want the courage to take a step toward tomorrow.

THE BACK HORN “Higanbana” Music Video

Known by the abbreviation “BakuHon,” THE BACK HORN is a four-piece rock band that operates under the theme of delivering music that shakes the listener’s heart.

Their digital single Higanbana, released on February 2, 2022, features a hysteric guitar sound and a driving ensemble that really amps up the tension.

The key is low and the vocal range isn’t wide, but be careful not to fall behind the fast-paced beat.

With an arrangement that alternates between calm and intensity to create dramatic dynamics, it’s a cool rock tune.

THE BACK HORN “Utopia” Music Video

A four-piece alternative rock band, THE BACK HORN, that has been energetically active since their formation in 1998 under the conviction of “delivering music that moves the hearts of listeners.” This track opens their 13th album, Anthologia, and is a rock tune whose ensemble—where a thrilling guitar riff intertwines with the bassline—amps up the tension.

The dark bassline, which points in a different vector from the pop-leaning melody, creates a distinctive resonance that grabs the listener’s ear.

The high-speed slap in the interlude also works as a spice, making it a song where the bass’s presence is truly the key.

THE BACK HORN 'Shuraba' Music Video

A track by THE BACK HORN that fuses a dark, weighty rock sound with a venom-tinged poetic world.

Released digitally in July 2024, this downer of a number packs in bitter words for a spouse who cheated.

Eijun Suganami’s realistic lyrics and the band’s powerful performance mesh beautifully.

Many listeners will be jolted by its worldview, which shines a light on the shadows of human nature and society.

It’s a song you especially should hear if you’re living through stressful days.

THE BACK HORN “Lapis Lazuli Canvas” MUSIC VIDEO

Created remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic by exchanging data, THE BACK HORN’s song “Ruri-iro no Canvas” also came with the backdrop that, just as vocalist Yamada returned after having a polyp removed and the band was ready to move forward, they were forced to suspend activities due to the spread of the coronavirus.

Made under such circumstances, the song conveys a powerful resolve and emotion.

It speaks not only to the bond between musicians and fans; surely, for many others as well, it will bring certain people or memories to mind.
