Masterpiece and Popular Songs by THE BACK HORN (21–30)
DaysThe Back Horn
“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.
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.”

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.

New WorldThe Back Horn
From an album released during their indie days in 2000.
Here’s the acoustic version.
The lyrics feel like a dialogue with oneself, and the melody—conveying both aching sorrow and a fervent, powerful passion—resonates deeply.
Winter MilkThe Back Horn
It’s a masterpiece where you can feel their emotions and raw, initial impulses to the fullest.
The four-piece rock band THE BACK HORN included it on their 1999 indie-era album “Doko e Iku” (“Where Are We Going?”) as well as on their best-of compilations.
The lyrics, themed around loneliness and wistfulness, and the emotional band sound are distinctive.
