Masterpieces and Popular Songs by THE BACK HORN (Za Bakkuhōn)

With YouThe Back Horn

THE BACK HORN｢With You｣MUSIC VIDEO

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?

Battle ImaThe Back Horn

The 21st single, released in 2013.

As the title suggests, it’s a song that conjures up a hot-blooded battle—truly a battlefield anthem.

With plenty of chorus parts, it’s perfect for live shows where you can sing and shout, engraving THE BACK HORN’s fiery spirit into your heart.

Chaos DiverThe Back Horn

Their 13th single.

Around this time, THE BACK HORN had begun to dial back the murky intensity and darkness of their early work and was gradually shifting toward a more pop, accessible sound.

This single—including this track—captures that vibe, coming across as crisp, refreshing, and cool.

SymmetryThe Back Horn

It’s a single released on February 19, 2014, and the song is titled “Symmetry.” Compared to the previous release, “Battle Ima,” coming out just five months later shows an impressive creative drive.

The coupling track includes a cover of Yumi Matsutoya’s “Haru yo, Koi.” The label is SPEEDSTAR RECORDS.

From the intro through the verse to the chorus, the song gradually builds up, and the drum tempo in particular is insanely cool—I was completely captivated.

Personally, it’s a track I want to listen to around the beginning of summer as the season rolls in.

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 “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.
