Highvision is the fourth album by the Japanese alternative rock band Supercar. It was released on April 24, 2002, and peaked at 11th place on the Oricon Albums Chart.[1] [2] The album is notable for Supercar's continued experimental trajectory starting from their previous album Futurama expanding upon it in Highvision, with the single "Strobolights" not even containing a guitar. The song "Storywriter" was used in the soundtrack of the anime Eureka Seven, which also contains several references to music from the 1980s and 1990s.[3] [4]

In 2007, Rolling Stone Japan listed Highvision as number 86 among its "100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums of All Time."[5]
