Japanese rock trio TRiDENT has released a new digital single titled “Candle” via JPU Records. The track officially arrived on July 15 for audiences across Europe and North America. Coinciding with this new release, the label also announced the first international CD edition of the band’s latest five track mini album, BLUE DAWN, which is currently available for preorder.

Written as the theme song for a Japanese television drama, the new single showcases an emotionally driven side to the group. Vocalist and guitarist ASAKA penned the lyrics and music to capture the resilience required to navigate adulthood, while Shota Horie handled the arrangement. The accompanying BLUE DAWN mini album expands on this melodic evolution, featuring collaborations with prominent rock musicians like Nob and ROLLY, alongside a powerful interpretation of the classic Studio Ghibli anthem “Country Road.”

Since reforming in 2020, the three piece band has steadily built a massive international audience by blending traditional rock instrumentation with electronic elements to create a massive live sound. Operating with a massive online following of over 26 million YouTube views, TRiDENT continues to expand their global presence. “Candle” introduces an emotionally mature new chapter for the group as they prepare to deliver the physical edition of BLUE DAWN to their dedicated international fanbase.
