Masterpiece and Popular Songs by THE BACK HORN (21–30)
BelieversThe Back Horn
This is Believers, the lead track from Dawn Fanfare, released on April 9, 2014.
The label is SPEEDSTAR RECORDS.
It was also used in a Pocky commercial and, I believe, drew quite a bit of attention.
The music video is great, of course, but the song itself is an incredibly cool rock tune that gives me chills—both exhilarating and stylish.
It’s the best.
Kizuna SongThe Back Horn
Not only are The Back Horn known for dynamic, rock band-style tracks, but they also have a strong reputation for ballads.
A hidden gem of theirs is this song, released in 2005 as their 10th single.
The band, previously devoted to pure band sound, introduced strings here, marking a new first step for them.
It’s a grand piece that sings about the importance of bonds.
Running HillThe Back Horn
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.
You’re waiting.The Back Horn
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.”
Beyond thatThe Back Horn
From their 23rd single released in 2015.
The contrast between the verse melody packed with words and the expansive, soaring chorus melody makes this a very unique track.
It’s finished with a sound that is quintessentially THE BACK HORN.
Fighting Man BluesThe Back Horn
Included on their major 5th album, “Life in the Sun.” The opening A-melody, built on a heavy beat with a piercing bass attack, leaves a strong impression.
It’s packed with their signature “muddiness.” The decadent lyrics, depicting men grinding themselves down through labor, are another distinctive feature.
Time-lapseThe Back Horn
It’s a stirring track marked by powerful, hard-hitting guitar riffs.
Released in September 2024, it’s a song by THE BACK HORN and the third installment in their series themed around light and shadow, following “Shuraba” and “Junk Worker.” The protagonist’s feelings after parting with a loved one are portrayed alongside an emotional performance.
Yamada’s strong vocals and the lyrical world woven by Matsuda are a perfect match.
You’ll likely relate to the resolve to keep moving forward while carrying the weight of what’s been lost.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling down or need a boost.
