Twenty high school students from Gunma Prefecture (members of the Gunma Prefecture High School Student Activities Promotion Committee) wrote手紙back number back number, who are from Gunma Prefecture, expressing their desire to encourage high school students across the country. In response to the students' heartfelt message, back number created the song "Suiheisen"水平線).
Although this relationship was made possible precisely because of the COVID-19 pandemic,
I believe this song was born from the shared aspirations of high school students in Gunma Prefecture and the shared vision of back number.
As the host prefecture for the 2020 North Kanto Inter-High School Games, Gunma Prefecture
I hope to send encouragement to high school students across the country with this song.
Thank you so much to everyone in back number.
