sakanaction's new song tied up with Toshin High School!

sakanaction has provided a brand new song for Toshin High School commercials!

This is the fourth time sakanaction has provided songs for Toshin High School. The previous songs that were used in their commercials were Identity, Rookie and Bach no Senritsu wo Yoru ni Kiita Sei desu.

It's also the first new song since their 6th album released in March this year. The song starts from the phrase "sayonara wa emotion" (emotions are goodbye). The impressive number has a strong melody and majestic chorus work.

Details about the release and title has not been announced at this time. You can hear the new song in the background in the commercials here.

Apartment Words.

It's already become empty.
I could say that of my apartment.*

But I will persuade the room with a light rearranging.
Please keep me company for just one more song.



When the music and words collide,
I start wanting to drink Pepsi.


In the midst of working hard with lyrics.


Ichiro.

*He's previously implied in tweets that he's drained the apartment of creativity by creating a whole album in it, and he wants to move.

I may be translating more of his blog posts when I have the time.
