Blue amberNEW!back number
There are actually many people who say, “I want to sing back number songs because there are so many good ones, but they’re too high for me…” In that case, how about “Blue Amber,” released in 2025? It’s not an upbeat song, but if you like back number, you’ll surely be drawn to its emotional vibe.
The overall vocal range is C3 to B4, which is quite narrow for back number.
That said, there are a lot of switches between chest voice and falsetto.

GREEN APPLE dance this much?”—has become a hot topic, but above all it’s a refreshing morning-perfect anthem.
The track isn’t merely cheerful; it portrays the struggles of imperfect everyday life and the resolve of “All right, let’s get to it today,” and that depth feels very true to them.
This is the third time Mrs.
GREEN APPLE has handled a theme for a Fuji TV information program.

A mid-tempo ballad that portrays a tender yet slightly bittersweet love, like a pair of well-worn jeans.
This track, released in July 2025 by HANA, who emerged from the audition show “No No Girls,” features lyrics written by producer Chanmina.
You can really feel the ache of nighttime anxiety—wondering “When will we meet again?”—and the loss of confidence that comes from comparing yourself to others.

BRAN-NEW LOVERBUCK-TICK
A track that feels somehow decadent, yet grabs the heart with a piercing pop sensibility.
Released by BUCK-TICK in July 1999 as their 15th single, it’s a gem whose incredibly catchy melody shines, just as composer Hisashi Imai described it as “super pop.” At the same time, Atsushi Sakurai’s lyrics, set against the end-of-the-world mood of the era, paint a fierce yet beautiful vision: even in the despair of the world’s end, the desire to melt into the one you love.
Listen to it on a night when you feel crushed by inescapable anxiety, and you might sense a strength and solace like a single flower blooming amid ruin.
