From recordings released during their indie days.

There’s an overall rustic, somber atmosphere, but the vocals in the chorus cut right through it.

The somewhat folk/ethnic guitar tone is also, I think, a hallmark of their indie-era sound.

From their first album released in 1999 during their indie days.

At that time, the bass was played not by their current bassist, Okamine, but by their original bassist, Hirabayashi.

This track is packed with THE BACK HORN’s raw early impulse.

It was released as a downloadable track available with the limited first edition of THE BACK HORN’s 2007 album “THE BACK HORN.” Although the song has a gentle atmosphere, it carries a warm yet powerful message: “Even alone, let’s overcome the walls before us.”

From an album released during their indie days.

It’s a track whose sound evokes something like Japanese folk music while also conveying a sense of foreignness.

You can catch glimpses of what would become the essence of THE BACK HORN, so please give it a listen and feel it for yourself.

This commercial promotes how Fuwari Kyogetsu leads to everyday relaxation, conveyed through Satomi Ishihara’s presence.

Here, she engages in a casual talk themed around daydreams, and you can feel the fun from the way she speaks clearly with a gentle smile.

The song that emphasizes the calm atmosphere of the footage is “Kyo, Kimi to,” sung by Masashi Yamada of THE BACK HORN.

The raspy vocals layered over the acoustic sound are striking, and together with the lyrics that seem to depict ordinary daily life, they create a warm feeling.

The single “With You,” released on October 19, 2016, is on the SPEEDSTAR RECORDS label.

It’s their first ballad since the single they put out in 2007, and it feels great as the piano from the intro is joined by guitar, bass, and drums.

It’s rare to hear the bass this prominently—and it sounds incredibly cool.

I’ve heard this song was made for the fans.

It definitely resonates with the heart, doesn’t it?

From their 25th single, released in 2017.

This song drew attention for being co-produced with Hikaru Utada.

While it has an atmosphere that sets it apart from THE BACK HORN’s previous work, it ultimately comes together as a track full of warmth, reminiscent of “Fuyu no Milk.”
