Stance Punks
Stance Punks are a Japanese punk rock band, formed in 1999. The band gained fame through their performances at a rooftop live-venue in Shimokitazawa.
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.

They customized their gear and synchronized
The flame out in the streets with flame in their eyes
Guerilla operator ain't heard of cool
Check out any wall - one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
A hundred punks run with London town
Down Wardour Street to the Soho Sound
Don't sleep all week only when they fall down
A hundred Rumble boys and Tumble girls
Protected by steel in a private world
Tomorrow's next faces advertise today
And the studs on their backs say
One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
A hundred punks run the loaded gun
They look so sharp they look like one
If you ain't got the look you'll never be one
A hundred punks run with total suss
A hundred good mates you know you'll trust
There's never no bother and there's never no fuss
Check out any wall - one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Fat Mike's number 101 - knows one day he'll be one
Watch him - watch him Go!
A hundred punks run the leather army
nobody's side not at home with TV
Even when I'm down I hear 'em sing for me
Check out any wall - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
Check out any wall - One hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule
I checked out all the walls - One hundred punks rule
