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 to ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓'s song "Soudantengoku" seem to be about a group of friends who are carefree and live in the moment. They start off with "step on the accelerator, go go go" and "eat a banana, go go go" which symbolize their desire for adventure and spontaneity. The rain has stopped and they're ready to take on the world without any regrets or second thoughts. The lyrics also mention "let's consult, let's consult" which can be interpreted as them talking about their future plans and dreams.
As the song progresses, they continue to speed up and open the window to let in some fresh air, all while still maintaining their carefree attitude. They mention that their eyes are sharp and they're ready to win, which seems to be a reference to a game or challenge they're about to undertake. But even in the midst of their competitive spirit, they still want to consult with each other and make decisions together.
Overall, the lyrics of "Soudantengoku" seem to be about living in the present, having fun, and relying on your friends for support and guidance.

高速走ってる時の、この曲の相性は抜群
@user-sl6mk7nc1l
間違い無いです
@user-xp3gt8xr4l
中学生の時に初めてこの曲を聴いた時、あまりの格好良いロックンロールにめちゃめちゃシビれた。
イントロ、サビ、ギターソロ、どこを今聴いても鳥肌が立つぐらい曲の完成度が高い。
心の底からこの曲にのめり込める。
超最高。
@user-vp6jt7rv7z
LIVEの大定番!チープなMV含め70年代ハードロックへの意識的なオマージュ。
ヒロト、イギー・ポップみたいでカッコいい!!
@user-fr2uq3fp6o
ハイロウズの頃は確信犯的なオマージュたまにやってくれるから楽しかったなあ。
モロな、デトロイトモーターブギとか
@yusuken7131
「相談天国」という曲名がセンスの塊
@user-jl1hg4bt4e
オイラのギターにはまだ古びたタイガーモービルのステッカーが貼られてる。
もちろん今もハイロウズの名曲たちは古びれずビリビリしてやがるぜ!

相談天国が始まると
「あぁ~!もうすぐでライブが終わってしまう」となっていました。セットリスト終盤の定番曲ですね。大好き。
