Hit and popular songs by WANDS

We’d like to introduce songs by WANDS, the rock band that achieved million-seller hits with multiple tracks such as “Toki no Tobira” and “Sekai ga Owaru made wa…”.

WANDS is known for songs that epitomize the ’90s and was one of the flagship artists of their then-label, Being.

They shifted to the alternative sound that was mainstream overseas at the time with their 10th single “SAME SIDE,” but it wasn’t well received domestically back then, and sales did not grow.

However, in recent years “SAME SIDE” has been reevaluated, and vocalist Uesugi, who composed it, has reflected that “it has become the origin of my current music.”

It still sounds incredibly cool today, and the husky vocals are wonderful.

Please enjoy WANDS’s many classic tracks in this playlist.
