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 (31–40)
Light danceSakanakushon
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.
Bowl of the MoonSakanakushon
A five-piece rock band whose obsessive dedication to recording and live performance—so extreme that even fellow musicians call them “sound perverts”—creates a truly one-of-a-kind sound.
Guided by a concept of intentionally doing things that are delightfully contrarian or playfully irreverent, their band name blends the unusual-for-a-band word “sakana” (fish) with “action,” leaving an unforgettable impact once you hear it.
Their distinctive worldview and cool tracks captivate listeners with a matchless level of craftsmanship born from that obsession.
They’re a band that keeps evolving on pure initial impulse—one you’ll want to reference when naming a band yourself.
CentreSakanakushon
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.
Shiranami TopwaterSakanakushon
This song’s gentle four-on-the-floor beat feels incredibly comfortable.
It’s the perfect track for a relaxed drive, don’t you think? By the way, does the title “Topwater” refer to a topwater lure used in fishing? Considering that vocalist Yamaguchi is such a fishing enthusiast that he’s said he wouldn’t be making music if fishing were an Olympic sport, that might very well be the case.
Treasure IslandSakanakushon
It’s no exaggeration to say that Sakanaction has become one of Japan’s leading bands.
They’ve also handled many theme songs for dramas and films.
This song, Takarajima, was the theme song for the movie “Bakuman.” They’re an artist whose songs, with their unique worldview, are highly captivating.

The dance music I wanted to hear, at LIQUIDROOMSakanakushon
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.
AdventureSakanakushon
With its standout power riffs delivered by a bold guitar, this track powerfully showcases Sakanaction’s rock musician side.
Watching the live performance, you can feel the excitement surging, and it’s the kind of song that makes you want to rush to the venue right away.
