The band, consisting of members Shogo (vocals), Kazya (guitar), Isakick (bass), and Yoshiaki (drums), debuted in 2001. Their name was derived from a Japanese wordplay combining the numbers 175 and the letter 'R' for "rider," alluding to the popular Kamen Rider Series.

Ouendan." 175R continued to produce music actively, with albums like 7 -Seven- (2006), Bremen (2007), and Omae wa Sugee! (2008). Their single "Yume de Aeta Nara..." released on July 25, 2007, became the ending theme for the film Kamen Rider Den-O: I'm Born! 175R released the album GET UP YOUTH in 2017, followed by the compilation 175R BEST ANNIVERSARY 1998-2018. Throughout their career, 175R also released several DVDs, capturing their dynamic live performances, including Live at Budokan '04 in December 2004.
