THE BACK HORN’s masterpieces and popular songs (1–10)
cobalt blueThe Back Horn
Their 9th single.
Despite having “Blue” in the title, it’s a blazing, fiery track.
It’s said to have been written after the songwriter was deeply shocked by an exhibit about the Kamikaze Special Attack Unit they saw at a museum during a tour stop in Kagoshima the year before the single’s release.
Among their songs, it’s one of the most well-known and can be considered a signature track.
You who fightThe Back Horn
Their 17th major single, released in 2010.
It’s a characteristically passionate THE BACK HORN anthem dedicated to people who feel worn down by everyday life and sink into gloom.
In line with the band’s spirit, the song has a straightforward, powerful sound that pierces the soul.
Flower of DreamsThe Back Horn
Their 8th single.
A mid-tempo ballad where a breezy vocal delivery is infused with the poignant tones of the guitar.
With lines like “May the flower of dreams be dyed in colors beyond imagination” and “And someday, may it bloom proudly and strong,” the lyrics look forward even amid the sadness—making this a standout masterpiece.
futureThe Back Horn
The single “Mirai” was released on January 22, 2003, on the SPEEDSTAR RECORDS label.
Starting with this release, Okamine, who had been participating as a support member, officially joined the band.
This song is the theme for the film “Akarui Mirai” (“Bright Future”).
The more you listen, the more you get drawn in—there’s a mysterious addictiveness to it.
In fact, as I’m writing this, I personally went ahead and ordered the CD.
Loneliness of thousands of light-yearsThe Back Horn
From their major debut album released in 2001.
You could say this is one of THE BACK HORN’s quintessential early tracks.
The sharp, cutting guitar tone from the intro and the vocals that sound like a cry from the depths of the heart are really cool.
SymphoniaThe Back Horn
This song is included on their ninth full-length album, Liv Skoal, released in 2012.
It’s an impressive track with a crisp rhythm and technical playing.
Thanks to its sharp phrases and cool transitions, it’s a fan favorite that really energizes live shows.
There are plenty of tight hits and it’s fun to play, so although the difficulty is a bit high, why not try covering it?
CircusThe Back Horn
The first track on their early album, ‘Resurrected Sun.’ A dark, sludgy, power-packed killer song that’s quintessentially them.
Yet it also features arrangements with a touch of jazz, making it a piece that, even in their early days, showcases their monstrous prowess to the fullest.
