Sakanaction’s classic and popular songs

Maybe the wind.Sakanakushon

Sakanaction / Maybe, the Wind. -Music Video-

From the moment I hear it, I can picture the scene vividly in my mind.

It feels like a scene from a movie or drama, and as I listen, I get the sense that I’m slipping into the story myself.

It’s a song that makes me recall bittersweet romances and feel a slightly more grown-up version of myself.

Native DancerSakanakushon

Sakanaction / Native Dancer

I think everyone has their own interpretation of lyrics, but considering that the album featuring “Native Dancer” was their first after moving to Tokyo, it feels like a song expressing the anxiety of possibly being forgotten by the people back home in Hokkaido.

It’s because I listened to Bach’s melody at night.Sakanakushon

Sakanaction / 'It's Because I Listened to Bach's Melody at Night.' - Music Video -

Pushed by its distinctive title, “Because I Listened to Bach’s Melody at Night,” this tune depicts the shock of hearing Bach’s melody, just as the title suggests.

It’s a song that captures an impulse similar to the one in Shinsei Kamattechan’s “Rock’n’Roll wa Narinai.”

EndlessSakanakushon

Sakanaction – Endless (MUSIC VIDEO) - BEST ALBUM “Fish Encyclopedia” (3/28 release) -

There are times when I want to look away from everything—nasty rumors, badmouthing, all of it.

When you feel like you don’t want to hear anything, I really hope you’ll listen to this song.

Somehow the lyrics resonate in my heart and bring me to tears.

The melody, the lyrics, and the singing voice are all gentle and beautiful.

Dancer in the NightSakanakushon

Sakanaction / Yoru no Odoriko -Music Video-

This song is included on Sakanaction’s album “sakanaction,” known for its unique blend of electronica and rock.

Its bouncing guitar tones and catchy melody are striking—easy to find yourself humming along.

Released in March 2013, the track portrays the inner struggles and hopes of people chasing their dreams.

Set against rainy nights and moments of turmoil, it sings of the joy of discovering future goals and the effort it takes to reach them.

It was also featured in a commercial, so many listeners may recognize the chorus.

Listening at night might make the experience even more moving.

MusicSakanakushon

Sakanaction / Music -Music Video-

Since this song was the theme for the Fuji TV drama “dinner,” I imagine many of you have heard it.

It’s a pleasant track with the feel of four-on-the-floor dance music.

The music video was also directed by Kazuaki Seki, who worked on “Aruku Around.” Every time I watch a Sakanaction MV, I can’t help but think that Yamaguchi, the vocalist, is truly an actor—he’s impressive.

RookieSakanakushon

Sakanaction – Rookie (Music Video) - Best Album “UOZUKAN” (Release on 3/28)

This song was used as the theme for a TOSHIN (Toshin cram school) commercial.

As the title “Rookie” suggests, it’s a song that stirs up a spirit of challenge, isn’t it? I hope we can keep taking on challenges without forgetting how it felt to be a rookie, and someday spread our wings in a big way.
