Ways is the third album of the Japanese rock group Show-Ya. The album was released on 3 September 1986 in Japan. All the songs were arranged by Tadashi Namba & Show Ya.
Despite being recorded only six months after their previous album Queendom, this album manifests a strong progression both in cohesiveness of the musicians and sound. In fact, the arrangements and compositions are tighter as the result of a real group effort, while the sound of the album is very similar to what could be heard at a Show Ya's live show at that time. On the contrary, the two poppier songs on the album "S・T・O・P (But I Can't...)" and the single "One Way Heart" were not composed by the band and are almost harbingers of next album Trade Last's style. The single was also used as theme for a Japanese TV show. The hard rocker "Fairy" has since become a staple of every Show Ya's live show.

How long is your life how many ways did you try on
don't need to reach the end when you know what's there
no one knows what's there...
get in get out don't lose time in the roundabout
get in get out read your map if you ever doubt
try on try out all different sense
try on reach out for distant suns
the way we take, the one we don't
the one we left, the one we change
the one that burns, the one that freezes
the one we built, the one we are
along the way there's some ways we take another way
got power to ponder
to construct to structure
to be tuned, uninterfered
to conquer our inner self
to prevent and assure
to invent our future
fighting the resistance of time
with persistence of faith
softly, cunningly, cleaning the dirt
wildly, radiantly, drowning the rebirth
winged by pressure
dazzled by pleasure
distorted absorbed
restored again and again
there's an after to every now...
an answer to every how
there's an after to every now
the way we take, the one we don't
the one we left, the one we change
the one that burns, the one that freezes
the one we built, the one we are
along the way there's some ways we take another way
there's a way there's one way and that is the way
there's a way
