Sakanaction – Goodbye (Music Video)

Sakanaction has a unique worldview that resonates with a wide range of generations.

Their live staging is breathtaking and draws everyone in.

This song, “Good-Bye,” released in 2014 as their ninth single, is also a crowd favorite at concerts.

It feels like a number that portrays the unspoken feelings within and the inner conflicts we carry.

Haven’t we all felt this way at some point? It’s a farewell song that fits the phrase “putting an end to it,” as if parting from something and organizing one’s feelings.

Sakanaction – Goodbye Is Emotion -Music Video-

It seems this was a song created specifically for the commercial for the “Toshin 2013 National Unified Test for High School Students / National Unified Test for Junior High School Students.” I actually only discovered the song quite recently, but despite its sense of loneliness, it’s a wonderful piece that helps you stay positive—one that makes you feel like it’s okay to cry when you want to and then keep trying.

The promotional video was released in 2014, and I think it skillfully expresses the back-and-forth state of mind.

The exhilarating band sound and the sing-along-worthy chorus really set your heart on fire! Its uplifting theme—evoking the clumsy innocence of youth and its limitless possibilities—leaves a strong impression, making it a surefire tearjerker.

Featured on Sakanaction’s album “sakanaction,” released in March 2013, this track gained attention as NHK’s soccer broadcast theme that year.

It was later chosen as the theme song for the Hokkaido Marathon and is cherished as a classic that colors the world of sports.

Perfectly matched with the heat of competition, its grand arrangement creates a stadium-like sense of unity—ideal for school sports days and athletics festivals! When you want to unite with your classmates and give it your all, this song will empower and encourage you.
