National Route 127 is anational highway ofJapan connectingTateyama, Chiba andKisarazu, Chiba inJapan, with a total length of 54.5 km (33.86 mi).
When designated in 1953, Route 127 originally ran from Tateyama to Chiba. The section from Kisarazu to Chiba was redesignated as a portion ofRoute 16 on 1 April 1963, shortening Route 127 to its current route.
JapaneseBōsōzoku rock groupKishidan referenced this route in their debut album, an independently released mini-album titled Bousou Yotarou Rock 'n' Roll where the final song was called Kokudou 127 Gousen no Shiroki Inazuma (國道127號線の白き稻妻). This song was re-released on Kishidan's first full album, 1/6 Lonely Night. In 2008, while on hiatus while Kishidan members were performing inDJ Ozma, both Kishidan and DJ Ozma switched record labels fromEMI Music Japan toAvex Trax. Before switching, Kishidan released a double compilation album of songs from their EMI years, titled, Kishidan Grateful EMI Years 2001-2008 Bousou Tamashii ~Song for Route 127~. Several of the group's members are fromChiba Prefecture, where the route is located.
