175R「ANNIVERSARY」OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

A song written to accompany the release of the best-of album “175R BEST ‘ANNIVERSARY 1998-2018,’” produced to commemorate the band’s 20th anniversary.

Its straight-up, coming-of-age lyrics—unchanged since the band’s formation—its exhilarating sense of speed, and a punk sound grounded in musicality honed over time will get your adrenaline pumping.

Universal themes that never go out of style and high-quality, straightforward melodies have the power to resonate not only with listeners of their own generation but also with younger audiences.

It’s a heart-stirring rock tune that’s also recommended as an introduction to 175R.

175R – Graffiti

Also included on their fourth full-length album, 7-SEVEN-, this is their seventh major-label single.

Its arrangement is superb, with memorable, ear-catching guitar arpeggios and a lyrical melody that perfectly matches the graduation-themed lyrics.

The simple song structure and performance highlight the message of the words, naturally prompting listeners to overlay the song with their own memories.

It’s a pleasant number that colors a page of youth everyone can relate to.

Shine, a guide on the path of light175R10rank/position

175R – Shine, Light’s Guidepost

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.

175R – Harukaze

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.

Freedom175R12rank/position

175R「Freedom」MV

175R’s indie debut single “From North Nine States” was their first nationwide release, putting the Kitakyushu-born band on the map across Japan.

It even hit No.

1 on the Oricon Indie Chart for three consecutive weeks! The lead track “Freedom,” included on this classic record, is a quintessential melodic hardcore song with all-English lyrics.

It’s a work that could be called the roots of their image as a youth-punk band.

Many people likely got hooked on 175R starting with this release.

A must-listen for kids who love ’90s melodic hardcore!

GLORY DAYS175R13rank/position

175R – GLORY DAYS

“GLORY DAYS,” released in 2004 as their fourth major-label single, is a track that fuses ska and melodic hardcore, racing forward with a refreshing sense of speed from the very beginning.

Depicting the road to seizing glory, the song was reportedly created after being deeply moved by actress Rei Yoshii’s experience battling leukemia.

Keeping that in mind as you listen to the lyrics makes them hit even harder.

It’s a work I’d like people to hear when they’ve stumbled and feel on the verge of giving up.

I’m Happy175R14rank/position

175R – Im’ Happy.wmv

This is one of the tracks included on the album Go!upstart! released during their indie days.

Placed at the end of the album, it’s a happy song just like its title, featuring all the members singing together over an acoustic guitar that evokes the feeling of closing out a story.
