Tokyo Sunset - back number (cover)

It’s included on the album “Chandelier,” released on December 9, 2015.

The narrator, “I,” who came to Tokyo to chase a dream, speaks about being overwhelmed by the crowds while anticipating how they will change from here on, yet not wanting to forget the feelings they have right now at the very beginning.

It’s a perfect cheer song for anyone about to start something new in a new environment.

“Howling,” included as the coupling track to the 10th single “From the Hands We Held.” The lyrics, which bring out back number’s naïve side, together with the shadowy arrangement, create an addictive appeal.

Because the melody proceeds in a consistently low tone that aligns with the message, it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

The melodic range is narrow with a catchy hook, but since it’s also a bit idiosyncratic, it’s a number you’ll want to add to your repertoire only after checking who’s going to karaoke with you.

The Rain and Meback number66rank/position

Ameto Bokuno Hanashi

A beloved song by back number that wraps the pain of heartbreak—depicted alongside a poignant rainy scene—in a beautiful melodic line.

With delicate expressions, it weaves together fragments of memories recalled while getting soaked in the rain, making for a deeply moving track.

Included on the album “Superstar,” released in April 2011, it captured the hearts of many listeners as their major-label debut work.

This piece resonates even more when listened to during the rainy season.

It’s a soothing song that stays close to the feeling of trying to move forward while carrying the pain of a broken heart.

Denshano Madokara

“From the Train Window,” included on their second album overall, Superstar.

This track was featured as an insert song in the film Navy-Blue Through Road, produced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the merger that formed Ota City in Gunma Prefecture.

The lyrics, set on the Tobu Isesaki Line running through the prefecture, really evoke vivid scenes.

The song maintains a low overall tone and has a narrow vocal range, making it a good choice even for those who aren’t confident at karaoke.

Thanks to changes in the ensemble, the low pitch and limited range don’t feel burdensome—definitely a number worth adding to your repertoire.
