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 (41–50)
Coelacanth and MeSakanakushon
In these times when so many things are happening, can I live true to myself? This song is filled with the wish that the answer will be yes.
Its melody increasingly resonates in the heart, prompting me to reflect on my current situation and what lies ahead.
I hope you’ll listen closely to the profound lyrics.
Night fishing is good.Sakanakushon
It’s said to be the song that took the longest to write on the album.
The description goes, “I was fishing alone and got lost in thought, but when I actually caught a fish and things got hectic, the meaning of what I’d been thinking about turned positive,” and the music video captures that feeling perfectly.
Lotus flowerSakanakushon
This song is the theme for the film “My Mighty Princess” starring Tomohisa Yamashita, and it’s said that creating a track that both upheld its role as a movie theme while still expressing Sakanaction’s distinct style was extremely challenging.
With a storyline of Yamapi watching a spider, it feels like a uniquely Sakanaction-esque piece with a singular worldview.
Holy DanceSakanakushon
This song expresses a strong desire to escape from reality.
Its fusion of electronic soundscapes and deeply philosophical lyrics resonates profoundly with listeners.
Released in August 2015 as the lead track from “Natsukashii Tsuki wa Atarashii Tsuki ~Coupling & Remix works~,” it reached No.
62 on the Billboard Japan Radio Songs subchart.
The music video, directed by Ichiro Yamaguchi, also drew attention, with its fly-fishing scenes leaving a strong impression.
It’s a recommended track for those feeling worn out by daily life or wishing to confront the emotions deep within.
It’s a work that lets you fully savor Sakanaction’s unique world.
YES NOSakanakushon
I found the melody easy to listen to.
It seems to be expressing frustration toward people who don’t give proper responses and just answer with yes or no.
It’s true that lately there are people who don’t give a proper reply even when you ask a question.
This was a song I wanted to play for those who have a bit of a problem with basic greetings.
WordSakanakushon
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.
DocumentSakanakushon
Like other songs by Sakanaction, this track is a characteristically Sakanaction piece with a relaxed, pleasant, and somewhat dark atmosphere.
However, the music video for this song is an extremely striking work.
I highly recommend watching it at least once.
