festivalFuji Kaze
It’s a prime example of what makes Fujii Kaze who he is: a rich blend of gritty soul music and Japanese-style melodies coming together in perfect harmony.
It somehow sounds both Western and Japanese, both retro and fresh—a fascinating sonic paradox.
Just when you think it might be a bon-odori-style tune, in comes a searing electric guitar, making for a highly distinctive accompaniment.
It’s impressive how Fujii confidently rides a very unusual beat that could easily veer into comic-song territory if mishandled, all while staying true to his own style.

Shock!Sakanakushon

Stylish yet somehow playful, with an unforgettable, striking chorus that’s quintessentially Sakanaction.
It’s the kind of song that makes you want to sing along together when you hear it live.
