Sakanaction (Japanese: サカナクション, Hepburn: Sakanakushon; stylised in all lowercase)[1] are a Japanese rock band from Sapporo, Hokkaido. Their music is a fusion of alternative rock, electronic, pop, and new wave styles. The band consists of five members: Ichiro Yamaguchi, Motoharu Iwadera, Ami Kusakari, Emi Okazaki, and Keiichi Ejima.

Key Information

The name Sakanaction is a portmanteau of "sakana" (Japanese for "fish") and "action". In the band's own words, their name reflects a wish to act quickly and lightly, like fish in the water, without fearing changes in the music scene.[2] Their records consistently reach the top 10 positions on Japan's Oricon charts.[3]

History

[edit]

Formation

[edit]

Ichirō Yamaguchi, Sakanaction's frontman, originally started a band called Dutchman, in 1998 with his fellow high school mates, including Motoharu Iwadera. It was an indie rock band that was heavily inspired by British indie bands. From 2000 to 2003, they released one maxi single titled Fly, one album titled demonstration, and a single titled "Mikazuki Sunset" that was only sold at live performances.[4] The band did not gain much recognition. In 2004, the members disbanded, leaving Yamaguchi to continue on alone as Dutchman. Yamaguchi began performing as a DJ at night clubs.[5]

Sakanaction was finally created in 2005. When Yamaguchi was working in a record store, he heard the song "Owari no Kisetsu" by Rei Harakami and it became a great motivation for him to create Sakanaction.[6] Yamaguchi founded the band together with Iwadera. In the spring of 2006, the rest of the members joined.[7] Kusakari had just left another band then and was asked to join Sakanaction, Ejima was introduced by a mutual friend, and Okazaki was Yamaguchi's colleague from the record store.

The name "Sakanaction" was created by Yamaguchi and was met with initial resistance from Iwadera. When Yamaguchi asked him what he thought of the name Sakanaction, Iwadera said he hated it but Yamaguchi forced it.[8]

Rise to popularity

[edit]

Sakanaction first attracted attention at the 2006 Rising Sun Rock Festival.[9] The band's first physical release was Go to the Future in 2007. Three songs originally from Dutchman were rereleased as Sakanaction releases - Mikazuki Sunset and Inner World were included in Go to the Future while Word was part of a digital download release, and later made it to Night Fishing.

Some time after the release of Night Fishing, the band made a decision to move from Hokkaido to Tokyo where they could reach out to more people.[10] They were also moved from Victor Entertainment's BabeStar label to the main label.

On August 9, 2008, Sakanaction performed as one of the main acts on one of Japan's top music stations, Music On! in the event called Summer Sonic '08. Sakanaction performed alongside Paul Weller, The Fratellis, Death Cab for Cutie, Cajun Dance Party, Band of Horses, Blood Red Shoes, and These New Puritans. The show aired just three days before the New Year, on December 29, 2008.[11]

On December 26, 2008, they made it to #9 on Billboard's Japan Hot 100 list with their single "Sen to Rei" beating out MAYS's "Kiss (Koi ni Ochite... Fuyu)" and coming in just after Greeeen's "Tobira". Over a course of 4 weeks the single moved from #91 to #9. This was a big accomplishment for Sakanaction as they moved forward in the Japanese music industry.

Mainstream success

[edit]

In December 2008, the band announced their third album, Shin-shiro, which was released in January, 2009. The album includes their debut single, "Sen to Rei", The album debuted at #8 on Oricon weekly charts, the first time they got into the Top 10. The band held a national promotional tour, Sakanaquarium 2009, in February and March 2009.[12]

On January 13, 2010, the band released the single "Aruku Around", which hit #3 on the Oricon weekly charts.[13] On August 8, 2010, they made appearances at both the Summer Sonic and the World Happiness 2010 rock festivals in Tokyo.

Sakanaction next released on March 16, 2011, a new single titled "Rookie". Almost seven months since their last single "Identity", "Rookie" centered on club music, pop, and rock. It peaked at #6 on the Oricon weekly charts, although sales were affected by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

On March 22, the music video for "Aruku Around" picked up awards for Best Rock Video and Best Video of the Year from the 2011 Space Shower Music Video Awards,[14] earning the band more recognition.

On July 20, 2011, Sakanaction released their second single of the year, "Bach no Senritsu o Yoru ni Kiita Sei Desu.". This release helped them to gain even more popularity through Sakanaction's first ever live performance on the popular music variety show, Music Station.[15]

Their fifth album, Documentaly, was released on September 28, 2011,[16] reaching a peak of #2 on the Oricon weekly charts, the highest the band has ever charted. The band also embarked on the Sakanaquarium 2011 DocumentaLy tour beginning October 1. The Makuhari Messe leg of the tour was later documented on a live DVD and Blu-ray released on March 28, 2012.

In February, the band played live overseas for the second time, in Taiwan, together with rock bands Avengers in Sci-Fi and Lite under the same artist management Hip Land Music Corp. On March 20, 2012, Sakanaction took home awards for Best Rock Video and Best Video of the Year at the 2012 Space Shower Music Video Awards for "Bach no Senritsu o Yoru ni Kiita Sei Desu."[17] This was the band's second consecutive year winning the coveted Best Video of the Year award. Starting April, the band also started to host their own regular radio show, Sakana Locks!! on popular radio station Tokyo FM.[18]

Continued national success

[edit]

Their sixth single, "Boku to Hana", was released on May 30.[19] The title track was used as the theme song of primetime medical drama 37-sai de Isha ni Natta Boku: Kenshui Junjō Monogatari, the first time the band has collaborated with a drama, thus giving them more exposure.[20] Sakanaction continued to garner more attention as vocalist Yamaguchi composed and wrote the song "Moment" for the popular veteran boy band SMAP, who were label mates. The song was used as the theme for 2012 Summer Olympics broadcasts on television channel TBS, and was released in a single on 8 August 2012.[21]

On 29 August 2012, their seventh single "Yoru no Odoriko" was released. The song was used in Mode School commercials as well as a station ID for Space Shower Television. In addition, Sakanaction was allowed to perform again for the second time on Music Station.[22] Their eighth single "Music" was tied up with Fuji TV primetime drama, dinner, with the title track as its theme song, making it the second time the band's music was used for a drama.[23] The single was released on 23 January 2013, for the first time selling at 500 yen, compared to their usual singles being priced at 1000 yen and above.[24]

Again, for the third year running, Sakanaction managed to grab an award at the 2013 Space Shower Music Video Awards. They were awarded Best Artist, with their representative works being the music videos for "Boku to Hana" and "Yoru no Odoriko".[25]

The band released on 13 March 2013 their self-titled sixth album, which clinched the top spot on Oricon Weekly Charts, their first release to do so.[26] For the album, Sakanaction went on a sold-out nationwide tour starting 30 March. They also included a supplementary tour in Taiwan to play there for 2 days. The band released their first vinyl record, titled Inori EP on 26 June 2013, containing remixes of two songs from the album.[27]

With their sixth album and accompanying tour's success in 2013, they were invited to perform for the first time on NHK's prestigious music show Kōhaku Uta Gassen on 31 December.[28]

Sakanaction went on tour in early 2014.[29] They have also announced the release of a new single, "Goodbye" / "Eureka", for 15 January 2014. "Eureka" is tied-up with the film "Judge!" as its ending theme song.[30]

Singles from their album entitled 834.194 have also found success on YouTube. For example, the single "Shin Takarajima" has 147,000,000 views, and "Wasurerarenai no", released on June 21, 2019, has enjoyed over 23 million views.[31] In videos, many of the albums' serious topics are offset by vivid and playful situations such as cheerleading, retro celebrity appearances, and people who transform into other objects.

In late 2021, they announced their eighth and ninth studio albums, アダプト (Adapt), and アプライ (Apply).[32] Adapt was released on March 30, 2022. It was preceded by two singles, プラトー (Plateau), and ショック! (Shock!).

Sakanaction

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
Sakanaction is a Japanese rock band formed in , , in 2005, known for fusing with electronic, pop, and new wave influences. The band's name is a portmanteau of the Japanese words sakana () and action, symbolizing their adaptive approach to music, much like navigating their environment. They achieved mainstream success with their major label debut in 2007 under Victor Entertainment, consistently charting in the top 10 on Japan's rankings. The group consists of five core members: Ichirō Yamaguchi (vocals and guitar), Motoharu Iwadera (guitar), Ami Kusakari (bass and keyboards), Emi Okazaki (keyboards), and Keiichi Ejima (drums). Led by frontman Yamaguchi, who handles lyrics and composition, Sakanaction's sound features literary, introspective themes paired with nostalgic folk melodies and club-oriented rhythms, creating a distinctive style that bridges performances with electronic production. Their discography includes acclaimed albums such as Night Fishing (2008), DocumentaLy (2011), and the ADAPT (2022), which explored themes of adaptation in a changing world. Sakanaction has earned numerous accolades, including being the first rock band to win the Best Music Award at the 39th in 2016 for their contributions to film soundtracks. They have headlined major outdoor festivals, conducted sold-out national arena tours—such as their innovative 2019 tour with a 6.1-channel system—and performed at the prestigious 64th in 2013. In 2015, the band launched "NF," an event series and independent label under Victor Entertainment that integrates music with cultural and artistic elements, further expanding their influence beyond traditional rock. During the , they adapted by hosting large-scale online live shows in 2020 and 2021, and in 2025 released the single "Kaijuu" while embarking on the nationwide SAKANAQUARIUM 2025 "Kaijuu" tour, demonstrating their ongoing resilience and commitment to fan engagement.

Band members

Current lineup

Sakanaction has maintained a stable five-member lineup since its formation in 2005, with no changes to the group over nearly two decades. All members hail from , primarily the area. The core of the band is led by (born September 8, 1980, in , ), who serves as and , as well as the founder who shaped the group's early vision. In 2022, Yamaguchi was diagnosed with depression and took a hiatus from activities until the band's 2024 comeback. Complementing him on guitar is Motoharu Iwadera (born March 11, 1981, in , ), a longtime collaborator from Yamaguchi's high school days in Hokkaido. In 2022, Iwadera was involved in a reported scandal, prompting a band apology and partial tour postponements, though the lineup remained intact. Handling bass and keyboards is Ami Kusakari (born April 30, 1980, in but raised in from a young age), bringing a foundational rhythmic presence to the ensemble. On keyboards and backing vocals, Emi Okazaki (born October 5, 1983, in , ) adds melodic depth and vocal layers. Rounding out the rhythm section is drummer Keiichi Ejima (born July 8, 1981, in , ), whose precise playing anchors the band's dynamic sound. This consistent configuration has allowed Sakanaction to evolve musically while preserving its original chemistry.

Musical roles and contributions

Ichiro Yamaguchi serves as the lead songwriter, producer, and for Sakanaction, primarily handling vocals, guitar riffs, and electronic programming that shape the band's fusion of rock and electronic elements. His role extends to composing , often drawing from computer-based production techniques influenced by his DJ background, which allows him to integrate programmed beats and atmospheric textures into the core sound. As the , Yamaguchi guides the overall vision, yet the process remains collaborative, with the group finalizing arrangements before lyrics are added. Motoharu Iwadera provides complementary guitar work, including rhythmic support and lead lines that reinforce the band's rock foundation and add textural depth to both studio recordings and live performances. Ami Kusakari provides the rhythmic foundation through her bass lines, which ground the band's dynamic compositions with warm, punchy low-end support, while her occasional keyboard work adds subtle atmospheric layers to enhance the electronic-rock blend. Her contributions emphasize stability and groove, particularly in tracks that balance organic instrumentation with synthesized elements, helping to propel the music's forward momentum during live performances. Emi Okazaki drives the electronic aspects via her keyboard arrangements, creating intricate synth patterns and piano elements that infuse depth and progression into Sakanaction's sound, complemented by her backing vocals which add harmonic richness and vocal texture. These layers often build the ambient and melodic backdrops, allowing the band's songs to evolve from rock-driven verses to expansive electronic choruses. Keiichi Ejima's drumming merges rock propulsion with electronic beats, incorporating drum programming for studio recordings and adapting those rhythms live to maintain the band's hybrid energy. His versatile style supports the tempo shifts and percussive intensity, ensuring seamless transitions between acoustic and digital elements in performances. The band's five-member dynamic fosters democratic input in arrangements, where Yamaguchi's direction is balanced by group veto power, enabling collective refinement of tracks from initial demos to final mixes. This approach has evolved from their early rock-oriented setup toward a more integrated electronic fusion, reflecting shared creative playfulness.

Musical style and influences

Core musical elements

Sakanaction's core sound fuses with electronic music, blending pop structures over dance-oriented beats to create a distinctive, genre-blurring aesthetic. This integration draws on J-rock and indie roots while incorporating clean electronic elements, resulting in compositions that balance accessibility with experimental edges. Central to their style are guitar-driven rock elements that often transition into synth-heavy sections, featuring rich, melodic guitar lines layered with lush synthesizers for dynamic builds. Percussion plays a pivotal role through layered arrangements that merge organic acoustic drums with programmed electronic loops and beats, providing rhythmic depth and propulsion. The band's production emphasizes live instrumentation—such as guitars, bass, and —alongside electronic , prioritizing organic interplay over purely synthesized sounds to maintain a tactile, band-centric feel. Okazaki's contributions, via synth layers, further enhance these textural shifts. Lyrically, Sakanaction explores themes of urban isolation and introspection, often employing natural metaphors like birds and rivers to convey loneliness and yearning for connection, delivered in Ichiro Yamaguchi's emotive, poem-like style.

Influences and evolution

Sakanaction's musical influences draw heavily from acts such as Oasis and , which shaped the band's rock melodies and emotional structures. These elements combined with inspirations from electronic artists and club , infusing rhythms and pulsating beats into their compositions. Additionally, subtle melodic undertones reflect influences from Japanese folk traditions, evident in the band's incorporation of direct, evocative phrasing reminiscent of folk singers like Masato Tomobe and Wataru Takada. Frontman Ichiro Yamaguchi's personal experiences in the club scene in profoundly impacted the band's direction, fostering a hybrid "pop-dance" style that merges accessible pop sensibilities with club-oriented energy. His early exposure to nightclub DJing further encouraged a drive toward creating music that bridges underground excitement with broader appeal, drawing from acts like QURULI and . The band's sound evolved from a guitar-rock focus in their pre-2010 work, emphasizing emotional UK-style rock influences, to a more balanced integration of electronic elements during the 2010–2015 period. Post-2015, their music shifted toward experimental soundscapes, featuring heavier synth layers and minimalist arrangements that explore progressive and adaptive forms. This continued in subsequent releases, including the 2023 albums Tsuki no Utsutsu ~ Rearrange works ~ and Tsuki no Maboroshi ~ works ~, which reimagined earlier tracks with updated electronic production, and the 2025 single "", maintaining their fusion of rock and electronic elements. Conceptually, Sakanaction's early output employed "night fishing" metaphors to evoke themes of patient searching in obscurity, as seen in their foundational works. Later developments transitioned to "adaptation" motifs, mirroring broader technological shifts in music consumption and production during the digital era.

History

Formation and early years (2005–2007)

Sakanaction was formed in 2005 in , , when vocalist and guitarist disbanded his previous project, Dutchman, which had shifted toward computer-based music production, and assembled a new lineup. Yamaguchi recruited guitarist Motoharu Iwadera, bassist Ami Kusakari—whose prior band had recently ended—keyboardist Emi Okazaki from a previous collaboration, and drummer Keiichi Ejima, a connection through a former guitarist. This formation marked the band's transition to a more collaborative rock-electronic sound, initially drawing from a rock-heavy style influenced by . In its early days, Sakanaction focused on building a presence in the local Hokkaido music scene, where members balanced their creative pursuits with day jobs, performing in small venues and clubs. This period emphasized experimentation with electronic elements alongside rock foundations, setting the stage for their evolving style. The band helped generate initial interest with their appearance as a newcomer act at the Rising Sun Rock Festival in Ishikari, , where they performed on August 18, 2006, drawing attention from local audiences. By early 2007, the band signed with Victor Entertainment's sub-label BabeStar, transitioning to a major label. Their major debut came on May 9, 2007, with the release of the album Go to the Future, recorded and produced in over a single month. The album showcased their blend of rock and electronic sounds through tracks like the single "Word," which highlighted Yamaguchi's songwriting and the group's dynamic interplay. This release solidified their foundational sound while addressing the logistical hurdles of operating from 's relatively isolated music ecosystem.

Rise to popularity (2008–2011)

In 2008, Sakanaction released their second studio album, Night Fishing, on January 23 through Victor Entertainment's BabeStar imprint, which showcased their evolving blend of rock and electronic elements while building on their indie roots. The album was supported by the single "Sen to Rei," released on December 10, 2008, marking their first major-label effort and helping to expand their audience beyond Hokkaido. That year, the band relocated from Sapporo to Tokyo to pursue broader exposure in the national music scene, a move that positioned them for greater industry access and visibility. The following year, Sakanaction issued Shin-shiro on January 21, 2009, their first release after the Tokyo relocation and a shift to Victor's main roster, emphasizing a more pronounced electronic production style that distinguished them in the J-rock landscape. The album debuted at number 8 on the weekly albums chart, signaling their rising commercial traction and attracting increased media attention, including appearances programs that introduced their sound to wider audiences. This period marked the band's transition from regional indie festivals to national recognition, solidifying their niche in electronic-infused rock. By 2010, Sakanaction released their fourth album, kikUUiki, on March 17, which peaked at number 3 on the chart and further highlighted their experimental electronic leanings with tracks like "Aruku Around," the lead single from January 13. The album's promotion included their first nationwide tour, SAKANAQUARIUM 2010, spanning multiple cities and drawing larger crowds as the band honed their live electronic-rock fusion. Follow-up single "Identity," released August 4, reinforced this momentum with its upbeat, percussion-driven energy, contributing to growing fan engagement through TV performances and festival slots. Sakanaction's breakthrough arrived in 2011 with the September 28 release of DocumentaLy, their fifth album, which debuted at number 2 on the chart and captured their most polished electronic-rock synthesis to date. The lead single, "Bach no Senritsu wo Yoru ni Kiita Sei Desu.," issued July 20, reached number 8 on the in its debut week, selling over 15,000 copies and becoming their first major hit with its Bach-inspired electro-pop hook. This success propelled sold-out arena performances, transforming their fanbase from niche indie supporters to a mainstream following attuned to their unique genre-blending style.
