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.

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.

Somehow, listening to it makes me feel a bit lonely.

And yet, the fact that I still want to listen again is amazing, isn’t it? How about listening to it leisurely while zoning out during some free time at night? I feel like it can help settle the cluttered thoughts in my mind a little.

I thought it was a mysterious song.

The melody was unlike anything I’d heard before, and it made me feel refreshed.

Yamaguchi’s vocals are wonderful, but I thought the chorus in the hook was really cool.

Please give it a listen once and see what you think.

Sakanaction is a rock band that delivers a unique sound blending alternative rock and electronica.

In 2011, they released this track, “It’s Because I Listened to Bach’s Melodies at Night.” Inspired by the music of Bach—often called the “father of music”—the song depicts a figure overcome with melancholy under the moonlit sky.

The electronic vocals riding a four-on-the-floor beat and the surging bass will make your body move.

Set to a danceable sound, the lyrics portray a delicate heart in motion.

Give it a listen as dance music to enliven those long autumn nights.

This is an instrumental track included on the single “Rookie.” Created under a new experiment of composing music to match visuals during a public recording, the piece is highly original and offers a glimpse of a different side of Sakanaction.

The song has a strong electronic feel, as if it were crafted by a DJ, and it pairs well with the live performances SAKANACTION excels at using Macs.

Prayer and dance may seem far apart, yet perhaps they are closer than we think.
