THE HIGH-LOWS

↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓

↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓ was a Japanese rock band from 1995 to 2005. ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓ formed in the summer of 1995 with five members and soon release their first single, "Missile Man", a few months after. But, they didn't get a hit until fourth single, "Mune ga Dokidoki", and the single after were the first two singles to break the top ten on the Oricon charts. Before year was up, the band was made as the opening act for the punk band Sex Pistols for their Japanese tour.

Their next hit didn't come until 2000 when the single "Seishun" release due being a tie-up for the dorama Densetsu no Kyoushi. They changed labels in 2003 from BMG JAPAN to HAPPYSONG RECORDS as they released their last album, Do!! The★MUSTANG, in 2004. But sadly, the band disbanded on November 11, 2005 after their last live at Chuo University.
