It’s known for numerous tie-ins, including serving as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Downtown no Gottsu Ee Kanji,” a Honda commercial song, and the theme song for the film “Zebraman.” Since the original is built on three chords, it’s a number that even beginner guitarists can faithfully play.

Consultation Heaven — ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓

This is a track released by THE HIGH-LOWS in 1996.

Brimming with a sense of speed, it was also used at the time in a Nissan Silvia commercial.

Youth / The High-Lows (with lyrics)

“Natsu Nandana,” released in June 2003 by one of Japan’s leading rock bands, ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓! It’s a quintessential High-Lows track with an exhilarating sense of speed.

Lyrics and composition by Masatoshi Mashima.

Hiroto Kōmoto’s rock ’n’ roll vocals hit you straight on.

As you might expect from its use in the Japan Coca-Cola Aquarius commercial, the upbeat, summery tempo matches the sound perfectly.

Every time I hear this song, I can’t help but feel that summer is just around the corner—the song’s progression and message are that powerful!

My heart is pounding.↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓5rank/position

Mune Ga Dokidoki

Detective anime Detective Conan has continued to gain popularity over many years.

New merchandise and episodes keep being produced one after another, and its popularity shows no signs of waning.

Its openings and endings have also featured numerous classic songs.

When you think of Conan’s music, which artists and which tracks come to mind? The very first opening theme, marking a milestone, was The High-Lows’ Mune ga Dokidoki, a straight-ahead rock tune.

Looking back now, it might seem like a slightly unexpected choice!
