The Back Horn was a successful Japanese rock band, noted for the inclusion of nu-metal and indie rock elements into their music, which displayed enough commercial savvy to regularly enter the national charts. Formed in 1998, the Back Horn's third offering, Shinzou Orchestra (2002), was a commercial success, and in 2003, they scored their first movie deal, contributing the song "Mirai" to the Akarui Mirai feature. Their fourth album, Ikiru Sainou (2003) helped to pump the band's popularity high enough for their supposedly conceptual fifth album Headphone Children (2005) to become a best-seller. Its release led to the song "Kiseki," picked up for the horror movie Zoo. The group continued to write new material, with Taiyo no Nakano Seikatsu released in 2006, and their eponymous seventh album in 2007. ~ Alexey Eremenko
