A Collection of 175R’s Heartwarming Anthems [Youth Punk] (21–30)
spring breeze175R
It is included on their fourth overall original album, “7-SEVEN-.” The MV is also notable for its relatively long, story-like structure.
It’s a track that seems to express warm, gentle feelings, progressing with a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
If I sing to the sky175R
175R went on hiatus in 2010 but resumed activities in 2016 and has been working energetically since.
This song was used in a J-PHONE commercial, drawing attention even before its single release.
It is said that SHOGO wrote the song with friends from his hometown in mind.
ORANGE feat.MCU175R
This is 175R’s sixth release after their major-label debut.
It’s a collaboration with MCU from KICK THE CAN CREW and was used in a KitKat commercial.
It’s a love song about someone you can never, ever forget.
The use of polite language in the lyrics seems to reflect the distance between the singer and their loved one, which makes it even more poignant.
Shine, a guide on the path of light175R
It’s got that quintessential 175R feel—fast-paced and straight-ahead—but by this point it seems the quality as a pop song has gotten considerably higher.
While it’s shed the brash, youthful vibe of their early days, it’s a solid work that shows the band’s growth.
Toward the endless tomorrow175R
Kicking off with an intro that screams “this is a truly great melody!”, this work is the 11th major and 13th overall single, “Hatenaki Ashita e to,” released in 2006.
Just listening to the pleasant beat and the thick, resonant guitar sound lifts you into a positive mood! It’s a pep song from 175R, packed with a message about setting off toward your dreams with a fresh mindset.
It’s like a signpost pointing you in the direction you should go.
PICASSO175R
It’s included on their third original album, “MELODY.” The melody conveys a fast-paced, forward-looking feeling, but if you read the lyrics closely, you’ll find words that suggest emotions like conflict and struggle, making it a song that feels a bit unstable.
White Christmas175R
This is one of the tracks from the 9th single, “Shine, Guiding Light/White Christmas.” It’s a cover of a song by JUN SKY WALKER(S).
While the arrangement stays close to the original, SHOGO’s vocals give the song a distinct new appeal.
