Japanese Bōsōzoku rock group Kishidan (氣志團) has referenced this route in their work. Kishidan's debut album, an independently released mini-album titled Bousou Yotarou Rock 'n' Roll (房総与太郎路薫狼琉) where the final song was 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 in DJ Ozma, both Kishidan and DJ Ozma switched record labels from EMI Music Japan to Avex 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 Kishidan's members are from Chiba prefecture, where the route is located.
