A collection of 175R’s heartwarming/heart-stirring anthems [Youth Punk] (1–10)
from now on175R
A digital single written with renewed determination when they resumed activities in 2016.
Also included on their 7th album, “GET UP YOUTH!,” this track lets you enjoy 175R’s music, which grew even more robust after their hiatus.
The song’s blend of driving, exhilarating beats and straightforward vocals radiates a power that encourages and pushes forward anyone chasing their dreams.
It’s a rock tune worthy of the band’s new start, conveying their purpose and resolve.
My voice175R
Starting with an intro whose melody seems to dissolve a faint sense of loneliness, this is “My Voice.” It’s included on “STAND BY YOU!!,” a collaborative single with the ska-punk band SHAKALABBITS, released in 2002 when we were running through the same era together.
The shift from the A-melody, driven by a ska rhythm, to the impassioned chorus is truly stirring.
The lyrics, which record days gone by, tighten your chest.
Try listening to it while overlaying it with your own youth.

“Wa,” included on the album Go! upstart! released during their indie era.
True to its title, this track is not the exuberant melodic punk that 175R is known for, but a slow-tempo ska number that puts you in a peaceful mood.
When you’ve pushed yourself too hard and things feel rough, it helps you exhale and let your shoulders drop.
The straightforward lyrics also feel like they’re gently embracing your worn-out self, lightening your heart.
Sway along to the pleasant sounds and enjoy.

ORANGE175R feat. MCU
ORANGE feat.
MCU welcomes MCU, the MC of the hip-hop group KICK THE CAN CREW.
The lyrics, written with thoughts of a lover now separated, are sure to move you to tears.
MCU’s rap verse feels especially real, and many will likely find it resonates with their own experiences.
There’s a bittersweet mood throughout the melody, but the guitar solo in the interlude is the real tearjerker.
It lets you sink into sepia-toned, faded orange memories—this is the very essence of youthful melodic music at its finest!
traveler175R
“Tabibito,” included on Songs, their second overall album and first major-label release from 2003.
A melodic number with a buoyant ska rhythm that lifts your spirits.
It’s a message song that likens life to a journey, encouraging you to walk your own path in your own way.
Just as those who spent their youth with 175R found courage in this track, it’s a song we hope younger listeners who didn’t hear it in real time will discover, too.
It’s sure to offer hints at life’s turning points, such as moving on to higher education or starting a job.
You and the Sunflower175R
Released in 2007 as the 12th single, “Kimi to Himawari.” SHOGO’s vocals blend beautifully with the melody, drawing you in with a dreamy allure.
It’s a mid-tempo ballad with a gentle touch that seeps into the heart.
As shown in the music video, where the band performs at a wedding venue, this song is a love anthem pledging eternal devotion.
The unpretentious lyrics, honestly expressing feelings for a partner, strike straight at the heart.
Even after listening, you’re wrapped in a lingering sense of happiness—a work that warms you to your core.
If we could meet in a dream…175R
Selected as the theme song for the film Kamen Rider Den-O The Movie: I’m Born!, this 15th single marked the band’s first movie theme.
The guitar riff’s strong impact driven by a wah pedal and the off-beat hi-hat groove carry a catchy, bittersweet melody that really sticks with you.
With its funky arrangement and lyrics that exude a more mature vibe, it showcases a different side of 175R’s sound from their usual punk style.
It’s a track that boosts your energy with a groove distinct from their trademark sense of speed, revealing the band’s impressive range.
