Hi-STANDARD

・Overview & Author’s personal opinion

I think Hi-STANDARD was instrumental in establishing in Japan that it is okay for Japanese people to sing all their songs in English.

I think they were the first band to start organizing rock festivals in Japan, rather than an event company.

Their influence on younger bands is very significant.

Here are some spotify playlists and recommended Youtube videos of Hi-STANDARD.

*The lyrics to their songs are all in English, so I have not included them this time.
