}} ''Night Fishing'' (stylized as ''NIGHT FISHING'') is the second studio album by Japanese band Sakanaction. It was released on January 23, 2008 through Victor Entertainment's BabeStar Label.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=【CD】NIGHT FISHING )〕 The album was the band's second and final album to be recorded in their native Hokkaido. It primarily featured music written by vocalist Ichiro Yamaguchi since the release of their debut album ''Go to the Future'' (2007), and was their first album to be purposely conceived of as an album. The album was preceded by the digital singles "Word", "Sample" and "Night Fishing Is Good" in December 2007. Out of these, "Sample" was chosen as the main promotional track for the album, receiving high radio play in Hokkaido. ''Night Fishing'' was more commercially successful than ''Go to the Future'', reaching number 53 on the Oricon singles chart. Critically, the band was praised for their new direction on ''Night Fishing'', with critics praising the album's mix of pop and electronic musical elements, Yamaguchi's poetic lyrics and "transparent" vocals. In 2009, the album was made available globally as a digital download, alongside the band's debut and third albums ''Go to the Future'' (2007) and ''Shin-shiro'' (2009). In 2015, the album was reissued on CD, LP record and lossless digital formats. == Background and development == Sakanaction was first formed in 2005 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The band gained notoriety in Hokkaido after winning the audition to perform as a newcomer artist at the Rising Sun Rock Festival in Otaru in August 2006, and after demos of their songs "Mikazuki Sunset" and "Shiranami Top Water" performed well on College Radio Japan Sapporo. The band were signed to major label Victor Entertainment, and released their debut album ''Go to the Future'' on May 7, 2007, through Victor's BabeStar Label. The group performed a short tour of Japan to promote the album's release, performing concerts in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya from May 11 to May 13, and held a solo-billed live at Bessie Hall in Sapporo on May 27. Many of the songs that were later included on ''Night Fishing'' were performed at the Sapporo concert, including "Teenage" and "Amsfish". Since their debut, the band was based in Sapporo, and recorded their albums there. ''Night Fishing'' would become their last Hokkaido-based release, as the group moved to Tokyo in mid 2008. 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「Night Fishing (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
