Version 5
Version 5.0 is the seventh studio album by Japanese rock band Wands. It was released on 30 August 2023 under the D-Go label. It is the band's first new album in nearly three years, and also the second studio album for the fifth version of Wands with vocalist Daishi Uehara. The album consists of 10 original songs as well as three cover versions from the second and third Wands periods. Two of the original songs were composed and written by vocalist Daishi solely. Shibasaki confirmed that he re-mixed all of the single tracks for the album, with the exception of RAISE INSIGHT.[1]
This album was released in three formats: regular CD edition, limited "A" version CD+Booklet and limited "B" version CD+Blu-ray edition. The CD+Blu-ray edition included a Blu-ray with five music videoclips: four from the original singles and one from the self cover.
On 26 April 2021, Kimura announced temporary hiatus from band activities as result of the weakening health and possible worries of being infected by COVID-19. Although he attended the album cover shoot and participated in the recording of the 2021 single "Canaria Naita Koro ni", the rest of the tracks Daishi and Hiroshi recorded the album on their own.
