Upcoming Ustreams

First off, happening this Thursday, 15th Dec at 7pm, is Sake no Sakana.

Sake no Sakana is a live public event to commemorate Sakanaction's DocumentaLy album and Hoshino Gen's Episode which were both released on the same date. Only vocalist/guitarist Yamaguchi Ichiro will be present to represent Sakanaction. The actual event will take place at Stage One, Basement 1 of Tower Records' Shibuya store, and it will be streamed live on Ustream.

In case you wonder about the title, Hoshino Gen is a member of the band SAKEROCK, although Episode is his 2nd solo album. Thus, the title combines the "Sake" from SAKEROCK and "Sakana" from Sakanaction.

More recently announced is a Ustream program to commemorate the release of SAKANARCHIVE 2007~2011 Sakanaction Music Video Collection DVD. This live stream will take place on Saturday, 17th Dec at 10pm.

In this program, Yamaguchi Ichiro serves as a "moderator", and it stars music video directors Seki Kazuaki, who directed Aruku Around's award-winning music video and Yamaguchi Yasuyuki, who directed the Document video clip in DocumentaLy's DVD. The program will reveal secrets of the shooting and production of these music videos.

The stream is held 3 days after SAKANARCHIVE's release date so that fans enjoy it after watching the entire collection of music videos.

Don't miss both streams as Sakanaction's streams are usually not archived. They may be aired again a second time like in the case of MUSICA & Sakanaction presents Sakanaction 5th Album Preceding Explosion Listening Party, but really, it's better to be safe than sorry!

I think both streams are going to be really interesting, and Sakanaction never lets me down.
