The High-Lows (ザ・ハイロウズ Za Hairōzu?, stylized as ↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓) were a popular Japanese punk rock band that was formed in 1995. The band stopped all activities in November 2005 and broke up.
Kōmoto and Mashima used to be in The Blue Hearts, with Shirai occasionally supporting them. Shirai left before the recording of their final album, and the band continued as a 4-piece without replacing him. In August 2006, Kōmoto and Mashima created a new band, The Cro-Magnons.
