175R (Inago Raidā) is a Japanese ska punk band from Kitakyūshū, Fukuoka Prefecture.
Debuting in 2001, 175R has released seven singles, four albums and four DVDs. Band members include Shogo on Vocals, Kazya on guitar, Isakick on bass and Yoshiaki on drums. The band shared their second single with the band Shaka Labbits. One of their songs, Melody, has been used in a music-related video game for the Nintendo DS called Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan. Unlike the other songs included in the game, Ouendan uses an actual (if edited) 175R recording instead of a cover version. The name 175R means "Inago Rider," which is derived from the goroawase of "175" plus "R" for "rider." Inago means grasshopper in Japanese, as a reference to the popular Kamen Rider Series. In 2007, the group sang the ending theme for the Kamen Rider Movie Kamen Rider Den-O: I'm Born!, entitled Yume de Aeta
