WANDS “Bold” MV

The song WANDS released digitally in January 2024 was also released as a CD single in April and was chosen as the theme for a special edited edition of Detective Conan—one to watch.

The lyrics convey a strong resolve to confront nightmares under the moonlight and an unwavering passion to win the heart of a loved one, making it a rock track that radiates a determination to protect a jewel-like presence.

While Shibasaki Hiroshi’s guitar parts are, of course, top-tier and may be difficult to replicate, the overall arrangement is relatively simple, so with solid practice you should be able to capture the feel.

This is the kind of song that, performed on a school festival stage, could both tickle the hearts of those in love and express the fiery spirit of youth.
