Album artwork

sakanaction's new and sixth album, releasing on 13 March 2013, has been announced to be self-titled "sakanaction". The contents of the DVD and Blu-ray have also been revealed.

In this first self-titled work for the band, it has already been confirmed that "Boku to Hana", "Yoru no Odoriko" and "Music" will be included.

In the DVD and Blu-ray, the activities of sakanaction in 2012 will be presented in a calendar format called "sakanacalendar 2012". This includes the contents of 10 songs' live footages, photos of their lives at summer festivals, the makings of "Boku to Hana" and "Yoru no Odoriko" music videos, what Yamaguchi Ichiro's home looks like, as well as a documentary of the recording process at the studio.

In addition, the Blu-ray will also include the music videos for "Boku to Hana", "Yoru no Odoriko" and "Music". The CD's tracklist will be revealed at a later date.

It should also be noted that "Music" will be performed at the upcoming episode (15 February) of Music Station, so do not miss it!

I guess SAKANAQUARIUM 2012 being included in this means we will never get the full concert on DVD/BD. However, I'm looking forward to the contents indeed. I'm just sad that the music videos will only be on BD... Also, for them to self-title this work only raises my expectations higher. Will they outdo themselves again?
