Sakanaction’s classic and popular songs
Here are some songs by Sakanaction, a band that has carved out a unique place for themselves with distinctive tracks rooted in their own worldview.
I still can’t forget the time they headlined at one of the RUSH BALL festivals—the stage at Izumiotsu Phoenix, enveloped in the darkness of night and illuminated with dreamy lighting, matched their music perfectly and was truly moving.
Ichiro Yamaguchi (Vo./Gt.) is an avid angler, and some of their songs use fishing as a concept, with fishing scenes even appearing in their music videos.
Knowing that background might lead to new discoveries when you listen to their music.

Sakanaction’s Classic and Popular Songs (11–20)
EurekaSakanakushon
This song is the theme for the 2014 film “Judge,” starring Satoshi Tsumabuki.
The music video is also highly striking—it makes you want to watch it repeatedly to explore its message.
The lyrics are very abstract and open to multiple interpretations, so I imagine each listener arrives at their own understanding.
Eyes bright indigoSakanakushon
A refreshing song that evokes a page of youth right before your eyes—the blue sky, a gentle spring breeze, and the glittering sun.
It’s one of Sakanaction’s signature tracks, included on the album “kikUUiki.” The song portrays the unique inner turmoil of adolescence, expressing the frustrations of youthful setbacks and the absurdities of society through motifs like school uniforms and stains.
Released in March 2010, it took on a special meaning in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami.
Its structure is also captivating, shifting from a folky melody to a development that fuses elements of classical music and opera.
Give it a listen when you want to revisit the complex emotions of your youth.
GoodbyeSakanakushon
A masterpiece whose indescribable emotions seep into the heart.
Included as the B-side of a single released by Sakanaction in June 2019, this track captivates listeners from the very first moments with the beautiful melody of its lead guitar intro.
The music video portrays a poignant story of a man and woman parting ways, radiating a charm that makes you want to watch it again and again.
Despite its instrumental composition, it conveys a deep message centered on themes of bereavement and loss, and the PV’s interpretation can be seen as depicting a crossroads between reality and religious imagery.
It’s a song I especially recommend to those who have experienced a farewell with someone dear, or who find themselves standing at a turning point in life.
Slow motionSakanakushon
Please listen to it not just once, but over and over again.
Doesn’t the meaning of the lyrics sound different each time you listen? When I first heard this song, to be honest, I didn’t really understand what it meant.
And yet, for some reason, it’s a song I wanted to listen to again.
As I kept listening, I grew to love the lyrics.
I don’t need it.NEW!Sakanakushon
Sakanaction is a band that continues to lead the music scene with a unique style that crosses rock and club culture.
Released in February 2026 as the theme song for the drama “Kochira Yobi Jieiei Eiyū Ho?!” is “Iranai.” While boldly putting forward a word that means “rejection,” it draws listeners in with body-moving beats and an addictive melody.

IdentitySakanakushon
This song makes you reflect on identity—on what it means to be yourself.
The upbeat tune and the flow of the lyrics are so satisfying that they really stick in your head, making you want to hum along.
I hope everyone can come to recognize their own individuality.
Sakanaction’s Masterpieces and Popular Songs (21–30)
plateauSakanakushon
Does anyone remember the Sante FX commercial “Yes, those eyes — Accompaniment,” where Ichiro Yamaguchi, the vocalist of Sakanaction, performed a solo rendition? Compared to other commercials, it was strikingly sensational and left a deep impression on many viewers.
The song featured in that ad is Plateau.
In its band arrangement, the track feels entirely different from the stripped-down image of the commercial’s solo performance.
The word “plateau” in the title refers to a state of stagnation, and reading the lyrics with that in mind reveals someone struggling to break through their current situation amid various inner conflicts.
For those in a similar place, this song might become a source of support.
