Sakanaction / Sen to Rei

I was surprised to learn that this song is Sakanaction’s debut track.

It’s amazing that they were making such a cool and wonderful song at the time of their debut.

These days, I feel like they have more mature songs, but I thought this kind of song is great too.

It made me appreciate Sakanaction’s talent all over again.

Sakanaction – Sample (Music Video) - Best Album “Fish Encyclopedia” (3/28 release) -

In 2025, Sakanction—whose recent song “Kaibutsu” stirred major buzz—remains well known as a band that blends not only conventional rock and pop, but also elements of techno and dance music to craft a distinctive sound.

Released in 2007 as a digital-only double A-side single, “Sample” clearly showcases Sakanction’s musical experimentation: it’s a dance track with a pronounced club-music flavor, highlighted by looping synths.

At the same time, the melody has enough solid structure to work as an acoustic guitar-and-voice rendition, which speaks to their impeccable taste.

While simply following the melody isn’t particularly difficult, it’s a good idea to focus on delivering a vocal performance with dynamics so it doesn’t become too monotonous, even though the track itself doesn’t feature big shifts.

Its unique worldview, as if slicing out a fragment of the city at night, is captivating.

This piece is included on Sakanaction’s album “kikUUiki,” released in March 2010.

Amid a mysterious atmosphere where reality and fiction intersect, it portrays urban loneliness and the inner conflicts of human beings.

Ichiro Yamaguchi’s delicate vocals and the band’s skillful performance weave an inventive sound that grips the listener and won’t let go.

Listening to it while walking through the city late at night may make you feel as though you’ve stepped into the world of the lyrics.

It’s a recommended track for moments when you want to reflect on yourself amid urban life.

This is the B-side track of Shin Takarajima.

It’s packed with funk elements, making it an easy-to-listen, upbeat song that gets you moving.

You can sense how important the Liquidroom event “NF,” hosted by Sakanaction, is to them.

GO TO THE FUTURESakanakushon40rank/position

GO TO THE FUTURE

An emotional song that captures the essence of Sakanaction.

It’s the title track from their first album, “GO TO THE FUTURE,” released in May 2007.

Originally written acoustically, it was reborn with a band arrangement that incorporates a three-beat rhythm, resulting in a sound with a distinctive sense of weightless drift.

The world conjured by Ichiro Yamaguchi—like moving through fog, filled with resolve for the future—seems to gently give listeners a push forward.

It’s a classic loved by fans since the early days.

If you want to start something new but feel uncertain, I hope you’ll give it a listen.

This song will surely give you the courage to move ahead.
