Once again, Namba Akihiro is bringing a period of wild enthusiasm for the punk rockers around the world!

Namba Akihiro of the group Hi-STANDARD is gearing up to release his new single on July 20th. However, his title track �WILD AT HEART� has already been released through the iTunes store.

�WILD AT HEART� is a melocore track that expresses a 'Nanba-like' positive mindset, sung in a way that's characteristic of punk rock today. The lyrics encompass the ideas of �Ore wa jiyuu de heart wa wild� ("I am free and my heart is wild") as well as �Ima koso ore-tachi de hajimerun da� ("From here on out, we start together") - leaving a strong, direct message that snags the audience's attention.

Having toured on a massive scale as the front-man of Hi-STANDARD with bands like Green Day and NOFX, Namba�s new composition is geared towards a global level. "WILD AT HEART"� was recorded in New York and was produced by MACHINE, who had previously produced for artists like� Four Year Strong and is a representative producer of the present punk scene.

A DVD recording of Namba�s live at �PUNK ROCK THROUGH THE NIGHT?2011.3.4?SHIBUYA QUATTRO� is currently being distributed alongside the single for a limited time as �LIVE ALBUM� through iTunes.
