WANDS “Until the World Ends… [WANDS 5th Generation ver.]” MV

WANDS is a three-member rock band that stood at the center of the Being artist boom in the 1990s and remains highly active today.

Their 8th single, “Until the World Ends…,” used as the ending theme for the TV anime Slam Dunk, became a million seller thanks in part to the anime’s popularity and is widely recognized as one of WANDS’s signature songs.

With verses sung more restrainedly in the A and B sections and a chorus that bursts open all at once, the melody line is a highlight that excites both singers and listeners.

It’s a timeless anime song beloved across generations, and one we’d love people to sing at karaoke even if they didn’t grow up with it.
