It was a song that felt full of momentum.

The lyrics were fairly easy to catch, making it easy to listen to.

They repeated “I can’t see tomorrow” several times, and that part stuck with me.

For some reason, an image of a crowded city came to mind, and I listened while imagining it.

The album NIGHT FISHING was released just six months after the previous one.

According to Mr.

Yamaguchi, this wasn’t the band’s intention, and it seems the original lyrics of this song, Word, contained criticism of that situation.

[Tried Singing] Sakanaction / From Tomorrow

The song’s melody and lyrics match so nicely that it made me want to listen to it over and over.

Don’t you ever think, “I’ll start tomorrow,” when you’re trying to make a decision about something? Listening to this song made me realize that’s exactly how I am.

I tend to get swayed by what’s around me and end up thinking I’ll start tomorrow.

A track that leaves a strong impression with its sensation of drifting between waves of sound and its intentionally gritty texture.

The band Sakanaction, known for fusing rock and dance music with their unique aesthetic, included it on their album DocumentaLy, released in September 2011.

Based on an original song Ichiro Yamaguchi composed as a solo vocal-and-guitar piece, the production deliberately uses a rough recording take and degrades the sound with tape, reflecting a meticulous approach to sound design.

Rather than emphasizing melodic highs and lows, the structure pursues acoustic comfort, creating an addictive quality that deepens with each listen.

It pairs well with ethereal lighting effects and has been presented live with strong visual elements.

It’s a perfect number for late-night drives or for nights when you want to quietly immerse yourself in the world of music alone.

It’s a piece filled with tranquility and comfort, as if the fragrance of tea were wafting through the air.

Inspired by an encounter with the tea shop GEN GEN AN in Shibuya, the work beautifully depicts the small moments of happiness that appear in everyday life as a sonic landscape.

Included on DISC-2 of the album “834.194,” released in June 2019, it encapsulates their unique aesthetics of space within its brief 3 minutes and 46 seconds.

Different from the exhilaration of dance music, its minimal sound seems to steady the listener’s heartbeat.

Why not give it a listen when you’re worn out by busy days or during a quiet, relaxing time savoring a warm drink on your own?

The Toyota “Yaris Cross” commercial, with its striking lyrics, also makes you really curious about the song itself.

This irresistibly catchy track is by Sakanaction.

Its poppy, fun sound makes you want to take it along on a drive to somewhere intriguing.

It’s said that the song was completed after the band held thorough meetings about the Yaris Cross’s concept and how to effectively convey the product through the commercial.

Because the piece was crafted so carefully, it’s no wonder both the ad and the music stick in your mind.

Sakanaction’s electronic rock is captivating—it grabs your heart after just a quick listen.

Released as a CD single in December 2008, this track appeared on the B-side.

It was created through a new production approach in which Ichiro Yamaguchi asked each member to arrange one song.

Ami Kusakari proposed a straightforward guitar pop song, which was then completed with that distinctive Sakanaction touch.

It’s no surprise it was chosen as the opening theme for Toyama TV’s “bbt music selection.” The concise lyrics leave a strong impression, making it perfect for times when you’re feeling lost or facing difficulties in life.
