Wind is Japanese singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's eleventh single in her 12 Singles Collection. It peaked on the Oricon chanrts at #3 and remained on the charts for six weeks. As with most of the singles, Wind was limited to 50,000 copies.
The song was used as the theme song to Fuji TV's Torino 2006 Relay (トリノ2006 中継 / TORINO 2006 Chuukei). It was also used as Kumi's final performance song during a-nation '06, which was changed from Shake It Up.
Wind was the second pop song Kumi released during the collection series, the first being Birthday Eve. The music video for the song featured Kumi's dog, Rum, becoming the second music video to do so, the first being Candy feat. Mr. Blistah.
In 2011, Rum died due to heart issues.
Upon the single's release, the single received positive reviews from both North American and Japanese fans.
David praised the song for being a "feel good song" with a "cute beat." Hajime Mashite praised Kumi's voice in the song and the story in the music video. Jae, however, had a more neutral response, saying that while they found the song "cute," it was the music video that had them enjoy the song. They criticized how poppy the song was, but still gave it a positive review.
In Japan, Utauinu said how it was their "favorite out of the 12 singles" and that it had "the best lyrics and melody." BRZ said that the song was good, but it was the music video that had them enjoying it.
"Wind" was not part of the story-themed videos.
