Wanderlust

The song Wanderlust expresses the bittersweet emotions between leaving the comforts of home and the excitement of new experiences and challenges when going on a journey. ​

The song was composed by Nen Daiko member Greg Nakamura.

Typically the song was played with a mixture of percussion instruments. The song often begins with windchimes and a rainstick and includes shakers, wood blocks and bells.

The melody is composed for two voices, a melody and accompaniment. Most often, the parts are played by fue or flute players.
