Fishmans (フィッシュマンズ) was an influential Japanese dub band formed in 1987. They were ranked number 83 in a list of Japan’s top 100 musicians provided by HMV, and are renowned for their unique sound and the distinctive vocals of lead singer Shinji Sato.
The band was formed in 1987 by Sato (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Kin-Ichi Motegi (drums, vocals, sampler) and Kensuke Ojima (guitar and vocals). The addition of Yuzuru Kashiwabara (bass) and Hakase (keyboards) rounded up the original line-up. Their first recorded appearance is on the 1989 Compilation Panic Paradise. Two years later, their first album Chappie Don’t Cry was released. The band’s easy-going sound (mainly influenced by Reggae, but incorporating elements of dub, rock, pop, drum & bass, hip-hop, etc.), coupled with Sato’s distinctive androgynous vocals, gained them acceptance in Japan’s underground scene.
Fishmans released several albums on Pony Canyon records, slowly moving away from playing strictly reggae, but always keeping a Dub foundation to their sound, powered by Motegi and Kashiwabara’s rock-steady rhythm section. In 1995 they signed with Polydor Records. By this time both Kensuke Ojima and Hakase had left the band. Neither was replaced, and the resulting trio would work with a series of guest musicians on their next records, mainly Honzi (keyboards, violin, accordion and vocals) and Darts Sekiguchi (guitar). The addition of Zak on sound mixing rounded out this second phase of the band, which further evolved its sound to incorporate space rock, ambient and shoegaze elements. Song length started to grow as well, as these new tendencies blended in with their dub foundation.
Aerial Camp was released in 1996, and included what is probably the band’s most famous song, Nightcruising. This was followed by The Long Season, a 35 minute song divided into 5 parts. Their final studio album, Uchu Nippon Setagaya, was released in 1997.
Fishmans performed their final concert on December 28th, 1998. They played many of their best songs, and concluded with a full performance of Long Season. Sato left the stage immediately after a teary-eyed "goodbye". This was to be Kashiwabara’s final performance with the band, though Sato and Motegi planned to continue working as the '''Fishmans'''. However, Sato passed away the following year on March 15 due to heart problems he'd suffered since birth.
After Sato’s death, Kin-Ichi Motegi began working as a stand-in drummer for Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra(東京スカパラダイスオーケストラ), whose own drummer passed away around the same time. He eventually became a full-fledged member of the band and plays drums and sings lead vocals with them to this day. Kashiwabara, who had planned to abandon the music industry, eventually joined forces with Ooya Yuusuke (ex. LaB LIFe) to form Polaris, whose spacey and dubby tracks bore some resemblance to Fishmans’ sound in the late 90’s.
The Fishmans story did not end there. Following Sato’s death, their popularity continued to grow. In 2004, a tribute album Sweet Dreams for Fishmans was released, featuring covers by artists as diverse as OOIOO, Bonobos, and UA. This was followed by the albums Kuchu and Uchu in 2005, which included rare and unreleased tracks alongside their biggest hits.
On November 22, 2005 the remaining members of Fishmans paid tribute to their fans and Shinji Sato, by performing at the Rising Sun Rock Festival. The show lasted three and a half hours, and featured many guest singers, who performed the vocals. The following month, a tribute art exhibition The Long Season Rewind was held in Shibuya with contributions from various artists.
Most recently in 2006, The Long Season Revue was released on DVD. The live concert was originally only screened in theatres and it featured the original members of the band together with a cast of supporting musicians such as UA, Asa-Chang, ハナレグミ, Oki Yuichi (of 東京スカパラダイスオーケストラ) and 原田郁子 of Clammbon (クラムボン). Following these concerts, Honzi, long-time contributor with the band, also passed away.

みんな寝てる時間に流れてる曲ですよね。
昔、仕事を辞めて、普段なら出来ない、勤め人なら寝てる深夜3時に、車を出しました。誰もいない静かな海岸にむけて。
一人傷心ドライブ。
そこでラジオから流れてきたこの心地よい歌。
遥か遠くから、うっすら明かりは差してますが、まだまだ、海岸沿いはヒッソリと静まり返る中、聞いてました。
Joel Paredes
Night cruising
Night cruising
Up and down, up and down
Slow, fast! slow, fast!
Up and down
Oh, night cruising
dare no seide mo nakute
ikare chimatta yoru ni
ano ko wa hakobiya datta
yomichi no ashioto tōku kara kikoeru
dare no tamede mo nakute
kurashite kita hazunanoni
daijina koto mo aru sa
ah ten kara no okurimono
Up and down, up and down
Slow, fast! slow, fast!
Up and down
Oh, night cruising
Night cruising
Night cruising
mado wa akete okunda
ii koe kikoe-sō sa
mado wa akete okunda
ii koe kikoe-sō sa
Oh, night cruising
Night cruising
Night cruising
Night cruising

私はちょっと違うアプローチでした。
仕事も生活も投げ出した時がありました。
そしてレンタカーでたびに出ました。
都会の喧騒を離れて一人になりたい。
そして、一番安い軽自動車のレンタカーで、私東京なんで、一番近い場所、千葉県の九十九里に向かいました。
そして、九十九里の、銚子ってとこにある灯台の側に車を止めて休憩モード中にこれが流れてきました。
もう深夜なのでラジオ局の中には、いわゆるこういう、局の流しっぱなしがあります。
その流しっぱなしにこの曲がありました。
暗くて見えない、でも聞こえる波の音、この波は太平洋からきてます。
遠い遠い場所から。
その浜辺近くに、車を泊めて寝床にして。
最高ですよ。
潮風が常にあたる。
眠れないと、起きて近くのコンビニに行って。
ラジオからは、こんな独特な曲を流しっぱなしになって。
ちょっとした優越感ですか。
放送局すら休む静まり返った浜辺、、、、
サラリーマンやってたときはこんなことできなかった。
海って怖いなと。
昼間海水浴にはみんな良いでしょう。
しかし、夜、真っ暗な浜辺、、、、。
違う迫力あります。
真っ暗な中、ザブーン！と音しかしない。
見えるのは、船の目印、灯台の光だけ。
さまよって文鳥
永遠に耳の奥で鳴り続けている曲。
雨ニモ負ケズ.
脳内と心にも。
ketr ketr
耳の奥って脳内じゃないの

100年後も色褪せない名曲
Phanic! with the Scene
This song was recommended to me on Spotify but the live version and I swear its the most beautiful song Ive ever heard, so peaceful and beautiful
Somehow gives a Radiohead feeling
Fix Lore

VailAce

zanna
