Ever curious about the instruments and equipment the members of sakanaction use? Even if you can't play any musical instruments, you might have wondered once or twice while watching them perform.
Hence, this post will be a compilation of known instruments that the members use.
Important notes:
- It is not a complete list by any standards. Some instruments may not be current since the band is always updating their equipment.
- If you know of any, please share the information. If I find any more, I will add them.
- I don't have any musical background, so I'm not the one identifying the instruments. The sources can be found at the bottom of the article.

[Feature] Sakana LOCKS - Love Philosophy Interview
This is a translation of a rather interesting/amusing interview of Yamaguchi Ichiro with a listener that took place on the Sakana LOCKS radio program a couple of weeks ago. The original Japanese transcript is up on the School of Locks website here.
If you're interested to know more about Yamaguchi and what he's like, this might be a good read!
*When reading this interview, note that all School of Locks programs play on a "classroom" kind of atmosphere with listeners being called "students" and each episode is a "class". Yamaguchi refers to himself as "sensei", and the listeners also address him that way.

| Back artwork of EP |
The release includes extended mixes of INORI and Structure, both of which the original versions were released in the "sakanaction" album back in March.
The cover artwork is composed of countless lines joined into a sphere, and a text line consisting of the artist name and track names run across the middle of the sphere in a straight line.
In addition, the record will include a passcode for buyers to log onto a website, limited to until 22nd July, to digitally download the tracks (so people can listen to it on their electronic gadgets as well).
