Members:
Koumoto Hiroto (甲本ヒロト) – Vocal
Mashima Masatoshi (真島昌利) – Guitar
Shirabe Sakito (調先人) – Bass
Oshima Kenji (大島賢治) – Drums
Shirai Mikio (白井幹夫) – Keyboard
This lineup remained intact until 2003, when keyboardist Shirai Mikio left the band. The following year ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓ cut their ties to Universal Music, and Koumoto and Mashima formed HAPPYSONG RECORDS, their very own record label with ties to BMG Japan, which has since distributed their releases. After announcing their disbandment in late 2005, Koumoto and Mashima decided to form another punk rock band together, and ended up naming it ザ・クロマニヨンズ (The Cro-Magnons).

The lyrics of ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓'s song 21世紀のフランケンシュタイン or "Frankenstein of the 21st Century" talk about a being that is both physically and mentally superior in every way. The lyrics describe the being's right leg as a regular player of the World Cup that has scored a hat-trick, while its left arm is an "unsinkable battleship." The creature is compared to a water buffalo with its lasso-like arm. The chorus repeats the title, emphasizing that this creation is the Frankenstein of the 21st century and does not wait for miracles or thunder.
The lyrics suggest that this being is perfect and complete, with nothing "extra" or "unnecessary." The creature is portrayed as having been born without an appendix and is made to sound like a work of art, down to the tiniest detail. The final verse of the song suggests that this being is not created by any kind of magic, but rather a natural product of the 21st century. The mention of beer and lying in the grass help to emphasize that this being is living in the moment and enjoying all that life has to offer.
