Included as the seventh track on the mini-album WANDERSOUL, released in September 2018, this song distills SHANK’s driving melodic hardcore sound into a single track.

The lyrics alternate between English and Japanese, expressing the anxiety and regret of the world you see when you close your heart, along with inexplicable irritation and inner conflict.

The sense of frustration over an irreversible past, and a groundless determination to win someday despite it all, are delivered with powerful force through vocalist Shohei Iihara’s high-tone voice.

It’s often performed as a late-set highlight at shows and is said to serve as a trump card that instantly sends the venue’s energy skyrocketing.

This is a track included on the album “From Tiny Square Room.” It’s a mid-tempo melodic hardcore song with a classic, straight-up cool vibe.

The power from the C section through to the end is a must-hear! It’s the kind of song that anyone would call cool.

Released in December 2008, SHANK’s first mini-album is an approximately 22-minute record featuring eight tracks.

Alongside high-speed, adrenaline-charged tunes, it also includes songs with pop-leaning melodies and ska beats, highlighting the band’s versatile expression.

Recommended for fans of melodic hardcore and anyone craving an energetic band sound.

Shank – Grimy Window

This track was rocking too—though to be precise, it might have been more of a punk sound.

Either way, it’s a high-energy recording, and the fact that it’s short makes it easy to listen to.

If it caught your attention, you’d probably want to see a live band, right?

A drama of parting and resolve told through English lyrics.

While facing the passage of time and the fear of endings, the protagonist makes a striking impression as they try to step forward with memories of someone precious held close.

The refreshing melody, a departure from the band’s traditionally harder image, feels pleasant and reveals more depth with every listen.

Released in January 2017 as the closing track of their fourth full-length album, “Honesty,” the song was also chosen as the ending theme for the TV program “AIR.” It’s an encouraging anthem for anyone entering a season of farewells or preparing to take a new step forward.

I got the sense you like Western music.

It starts off sounding like an acoustic guitar solo performance, then switches into a rock tune midway.

Catchy chord strumming and rhythmic muted power chords.

It gives off that vibe of “it’s best when everyone’s together,” doesn’t it?
