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.

It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser live!

09 Keep My Rock’n Road

It’s a song included in the album “Toki no Tobira.” Set to a mid-tempo pop arrangement, it sings about finding hope and starting to walk again, even amid sunset and disappointment, a rusty harmonica, rubble-strewn roads, and a dry, desolate landscape.

06 Secret Night ～It’s My Treat～

Released on February 13, 1995 as the ninth single.

This is a soaring rock ’n’ roll track that employs expansive vocals to sing about a decadent worldview and hope.

A modest affectionWANDS37rank/position

16 Modest Affection / WANDS

I think this is a masterpiece that only WANDS could possibly sing.

There aren’t many artists these days who can deliver a ballad like this.

It’s really cool—the guitar and vocals match perfectly.

I wish it would be used in a current drama.

The interplay with the chorus is very nimble, resulting in a lively, up-tempo, danceable track.

With a glass heartWANDS39rank/position

05 With a Fragile Glass Heart

A track included on the album “Toki no Tobira.” It’s a rock song that evokes scenes of the sea, a breakwater, and dazzling sunlight.
