is a song by Japanese band Sakanaction. It was released as a single in July 2011, one month before the band's fifth album ''Documentaly''. A pop and electro song inspired by the band's vocalist Ichiro Yamaguchi experience of listening to the music of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach while falling asleep, "Bach no Senritsu o Yoru ni Kiita Sei Desu" was praised by Japanese music critics for its progression, "literary" lyrics, the integration of choral vocals and four on the floor rhythm. The song's music video, featuring Yamaguchi dancing simultaneously with mannequins connected to him by metal bars was well received by critics, winning the 2012 Space Shower Music Video Awards award for the Best Video of the Year. The song was a commercial success, being certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for 100,000 paid downloads. == Background and development == After the release of the band's fourth album ''Kikuuiki'' in March 2010, Sakanaction released the single "Identity" in July, followed by their first concert at the Nippon Budokan in October. Such a concert, which is often seen as an important milestone for bands, felt more like a ritual to the band's vocalist and songwriter Ichiro Yamaguchi, who was inspired to write their following single "Rookie" after the concert. During the writing process, Yamaguchi considered what direction the band should take next, what Sakanaction's place in the music scene was, and how the band was seen by others.〔 Just prior to "Rookie"'s planned physical release on March 16, 2011, Japan experienced the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Sakanaction cancelled or rescheduled many of their scheduled radio appearances, and during their appearances preferred to focus on messages of hope for the victims of the earthquake, rather than directly promoting the single. In June 2011, the band performed a six date tour of Japan's Zepp music halls, Sakanaquarium 2011: Zepp Alive. During these concerts, the band performed "Bach no Senritsu o Yoru ni Kiita Sei Desu" in concert for the first time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bach no Senritsu o Yoru ni Kiita Sei Desu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
