Description

[Machine Translation] It has been 9 months since they moved their base from Okinawa to their birthplace Shiga. The band has released its first album with all its might to make its name known across the country! This album shows a further expansion of the band's range, incorporating ballads and loud rock nuances, not to mention the funky sound they are known for. The lyrics also have a stronger message. The sound of "It's W-D4 after all!" is still the same, and the result is a work with a high level of entertainment value. The band's Kansai character (Shiga) makes a strong impression not only at live performances but also on the radio and in other media. Although it has been about two years since the last album, the band has been based in Shiga since the summer of 2012, and has been touring live and doing regular radio shows, starting with an appearance at the Inazuma Rock Festival, and has dramatically improved their quality as a band. The band's quality has improved dramatically. Sometimes intense, sometimes gentle. This song shows W-D4's genre-independent style. Pressed song 2/ thankful Listening Spot No matter how many times they stumbled, they got back up again. It's because of everyone who supported us! Formed in August 2008, W-D4 moved their base to Okinawa in 2009 and started performing live, appearing regularly on radio and at outdoor festivals, and selling out their self-produced demo CD. In November of the same year, they won the Grand Prix at the Ryubi Music Festival, and in July 2011, they won the runner-up prize at the 25th Seaport Chatan Indie Music Contest. In August 2012, they moved their base of operations to their hometown in Shiga Prefecture, and performed on the entertainment stage at the Inazuma Rock Festival 2012 in September of the same year. W-D4's fan base is growing rapidly, and their future activities are expected to continue. Finally, their 1st full album "Light" will be released on April 21, 2013! Keep your eyes on the W-D4 story this year.
