Stance Punks' name spread overseas when their song "Mayonaka Shounen Totsugekidan" was used as the ending theme song for the movie Battle Royale 2. Their song "No Boy No Cry" has been used as the opening theme song for the anime Naruto and the song "I Wanna Be" was used as the ending theme song for the anime Soul Eater. As of 2005, the band has signed with Sony Epic's label called "Kowalski Records" under which the single "Mony Mony Mony" was released.

Critics often cite similarities between them and The Blue Hearts, an immensely popular punk band with a very similar style of music.

The band recently performed a 5-hour long "Naruto Tribute" broadcast from a popular Kyoto radio station.

Band members include:

  • Tsuru (Vocals)
  • Katsuda Kinya (Guitar)
  • Tetsushi Kawasaki (Bassist)
  • Satou Koh (Drums)

gollark: There are over 10 billion possible gate addresses using the 7-char address, so no mass dialing for you.
gollark: Problem is that gate addresses are 7 number/uppercase letter characters, stargates dial very slowly, and there are a lot of possibilities.
