Chung-ho Sai

Picture taken for Billboard Live Tokyo circa April 2018.

***Chung-ho Sai*** (born **蔡忠浩**; August 13, 1975) is a Japanese vocalist and guitarist from Osaka Prefecture known primarily for his work in his band, Bonobos. Sai is also known for working with Fishmans in live performances, such as on The Long Season Revue. Sai formed Bonobos in August 2001, only a few years after Fishmans ceased full activity, and their first live performance was in December that year. Since then, the band has released a multitude of albums and singles and has gained a fairly active following. Sai himself has released two solo albums since 2010, and the same year appeared on fellow Bonobos member Bondo Tsuji's solo album mimesis. He is known for his characteristically high vocal range, similar to Fishmans lead member Shinji Sato.

*[VERSE 1]*
となりの街まで出かけよう
ふみきりを越えて あの角を曲がり
車の流れ とびこえて
寄り道しながら いつものようにさ
*[VERSE 2]*
口笛を吹いて出かけよう
立ち止まったり ちょっとだけふりかえる
人ごみの中をかきわけて
遠くの方まで どこか どこか
*[CHORUS]*
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
*[VERSE 3]*
さんざん僕は歩きまわり
さんざん僕は探しまわる
だんだん僕は疲れてきて
どんどんやる気がなくなる
だけどある日突然 目がさめた
*[OUTRO]*
目がさめた 目がさめた 目がさめた

*[VERSE 1]*
Let's go to the next town over
Over the footpath, around the corner
Flow of cars break, I jump over
Making a detour, like I always do
*[VERSE 2]*
Whistle away, forget the toll
Stop and turn around, for just a moment
We can weave our way through the crowd
Far away, someplace, somewhere
*[CHORUS]*
Good morning, good morning
Good morning, good morning
*[VERSE 3]*
Messily, I walk around
Messily, I search and search
Gradually, I grow tired
Increasingly, I lose my motivation
But someday, out of nowhere, I woke up
*[OUTRO]*
I'm awake, I'm awake, I'm awake
Daydream

A figure in the sunset
Standing with a quiet face
They looked so defenseless
They blankly, blankly
blankly, blankly stood

That figure is everything you are
That figure is everything you are
Entirely
Entirely
*[CHORUS]*
Daydream, daydream
Daydream, daydream

I don't want to spend every day
Having crazy wild fun\*
I want the two of us to look at clouds
Together, with gloomy faces
In the sunset
In the sunset

98.12.27 男達の別れ

***98.12.27 男達の別れ*** (romanized: *98.12.27 Otokotachi no Wakare*, English: *December 27, 1998: Farewell of Men*) is a bootleg recording of nearly all of Fishmans second-to-last concert, performed on December 27, 1998 @Akasaka Blitz. This recording was recorded by an attendee with a pin-on microphone, recorded to two 74-minute minidiscs and later encoded with WavePad audio editing software. It was uploaded and sent to bootleggers through Twitter, then tracks were split through Audacity. The concert has not seen any physical release, so this bootleg is the only available method of hearing it.

Notable about this recording is that, technically, it is not the entire concert. The recording was started late, so some of Oh Slime's beginning was cut out, and minidiscs were swapped during ゆらめき In The Air, losing about a minute of audio. It's theorized that the recording attendee simply didn't realize the first disc was out of space while the song was performed, resulting in the error.

"Official" album cover used is 'Blurred' by unregister\_ulo.

## Track listing

1. "Oh Slime" (4:19)
2. "ナイトクルージング" (6:26)
3. "なんてったの" (6:41)
4. "Thank You" (2:58)
5. "幸せ者" (4:03)
6. "頼りない天使" (4:47)
7. "ひこうき" (8:24)
8. "In The Flight" (6:52)
9. "Walking in the Rhythm" (7:56)
10. "Smilin' Days, Summer Holiday" (4:55)
11. "Melody" (5:31)
12. "ゆらめき In The Air" (14:20)
13. "いかれたBaby" (5:39)
14. "Long Season" (41:29)

***Long Season 2023*** was a tour performed by Fishmans through October and November 2023 in celebration of the 27th anniversary of their sixth studio album, Long Season. The tour was announced in tandem with the release of a long interview given by drummer Kin-Ichi Motegi and band manager Akiko Ueta on the history of the album of the same name, titled "フィッシュマンズ茂木欣一、「LONG SEASON」を語る," translating as "Kin-Ichi Motegi of Fishmans discusses Long Season". The interview can be found here: https://natalie.mu/music/pp/fishmans

This tour was similarly themed to the band's previous three-show tour, Long Season 2016.

Earth × Heart Live 2012

## Alternate Covers

***Earth × Heart Live 2012*** is a live bootleg by Fishmans and J-pop group Sakanaction, recorded on April 15, 2012 @Saitama Super Arena. Its audio was ripped from the identically-titled concert film, Earth × Heart Live 2012. The concert sees the bands frequently swapping out their presence on stage, changing between the two bands regularly. Notably, none of the promotional material or post-concert blogs regarding the concert refer to the performing band as Fishmans+, therefore it's assumed that it's the original group performing here.

Hicksville

From left to right: Yasuhiro Nakamori, Megumi Mashiro, Shinya Kogure

**Hicksville** is a Japanese rock group founded in 1994 in Tokyo, Japan. Despite their activities beginning in 1994, the band members originally met in 1987 at a live venue in Tokyo. Hicksville typically exists as a three-person outfit, though regularly employs other assisting musicians to complete their group. The band's main lineup consists of:

* Shinya Kogure (guitar, vocals)
* Megumi Mashiro (vocals)
* Yasuhiro Nakamori (guitar, vocals)

The band's primary time of activity was from 1994 to 1999, during which they released three albums, a mini-album and multiple singles. Afterwards they went into hiatus until the release of 2013's re-recording album Song Recycle, as well as 2014's comeback album Welcome Back. Since then, the band has been in consistent activity to this day, performing live and posting regular podcasts on their official YouTube channel. Most of their main albums were printed on Sony Records Japan, though today they are independent.

Before founding Hicksville, the band's three members were part of different bands. Kogure was touring with Wow Wow Hippies, Mashiro was touring with Paisley Blue, and Nakamori was touring with The Hawaiis when the three met at a live venue in Japan. They began interacting in the Neo GS scene together in this time and eventually founded rock group Rotten Hats in 1989, alongside three other members. In Rotten Hats, Kogure was also known to play banjo, and Nakamori was also known to play the mandolin. The Neo GS scene was a group of Japanese rock bands from the late 80s that combined the sounds of Shibuya-kei, psychedelic rock, merseybeat and garage rock, which later translated into Hicksville's sound. Rotten Hats released 3 albums and 4 singles before dissolving in 1994 due to musical differences in the band's members. Three of the members went on to found Hicksville, and the other three went on to found GREAT3, which is also still active to this day.

Club Quattro

***Club Quattro*** is a chain of live concert venues that currently operates four venues across Japan. They began operations on June 28, 1988 with the opening of Shibuya Club Quattro. Originally, the Italian word "quattro" (translating to "four") in their name referred to the building their Shibuya location was based out of: officially "PART 4" of Shibuya Parco, a shopping mall. Their name eventually branched out to include the fact that they operate four live venues across Japan, the fourth of which opened in 2001. A multitude of these venues have hosted concerts by Fishmans. A complete list of every live venue they've operated follows.

* Shibuya Club Quattro (1988-Present)
* Nagoya Club Quattro (1989-Present)
* Shinsaibashi Club Quattro (1991-2011) - Officially moved to Umeda Club Quattro in 2012.
* Hiroshima Club Quattro (2001-Present)
* Umeda Club Quattro (2012-Present)

Club Quattro holds itself to a standard of delivering high-quality music to its patrons, but also presenting bands/acts of all genres, domestic and overseas. Further, Club Quattro is famous as a gateway for new artists to making a name for themselves, allowing smaller acts as well as larger ones to perform at their venues.

Domestic artists who have performed at Club Quattro locations include Flipper's Guitar, Pizzicato Five, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, Magokoro Brothers and Fishmans. Overseas artists who have come to Club Quattro to perform include Hall & Oates, Lenny Kravitz, Nirvana, Oasis, Primal Scream, Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sonic Youth and others.

Club Quattro also operates a music cafe & bar in Kichijoji, Tokyo called "Quattro Labo" which is not a live venue. This cafe, located at 15-1 Udagawa-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Shibuya Parco B1F, claims to house over 5000 vinyl records and CDs to be played over their high-definition speaker setup.]

Fishmans Chronicle (1988-)

***Fishmans Chronicle (1988-)*** is a Japanese book written and compiled by Dai Onojima, first printed on paperback on November 1, 2006 through publisher Shogakukan. It would later be distributed in full digitally on December 7, 2018. The book's contents are an exhaustive and complete history of the Japanese rock group Fishmans. This includes interviews, advertisements, retrospectives and photography, as well as a list of every official Fishmans release and a complete compendium of Fishmans' live performances, along with hundreds of complete setlists. This list served immensely in the creation of the Fishmans Wiki's page Live Concert Guide.

The book is about exactly 400 pages in length, and it digitally takes up 155 MB of space.

Akasaka Blitz

***Akasaka Blitz*** (also known as *赤坂BLITZ*) was a concert venue located at Akasaka-Sacas, 5-3-2 Akasaka 5-3-2, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. It was last owned by Tokyo Broadcasting System, or TBS for short. The venue opened in 1996, closed in 2003 and was rebuilt in 2008. After naming rights were acquired by Mynavi Corporation in 2017, the venue was renamed ***Mynavi Blitz Akasaka*** (also known as *マイナビBLITZ赤坂*). The venue's capacity held 1298 people while standing, and 604 people while sitting.

This venue would also be where Japanese dub/rock group Fishmans would perform some of their most famous concerts, such as December 28, 1998 @Akasaka Blitz (later printed on CD as 98.12.28 男達の別れ) and December 26, 1996 @Akasaka Blitz (later printed on CD as Long Season '96~7 - 96.12.26 Akasaka Blitz). Despite its fame among Fishmans fans, the group actually performed a surprisingly few number of concerts at the venue, totaling out at only four.

On May 1, 2020, Akasaka Blitz' staff announced that the venue would be closing that year on September 22, noting that the venue had been open for 24 years and helped in the "establishment of 'live house culture' as a 'live sacred place'." As of September 22, Akasaka Blitz is permanently closed.

Fukuoka Drum Be-1

***\Fukuoka Drum Be-1*** (also known as *Hakata Drum Be-1* before 1999) is a Japanese live venue located at 1-8-29, Maizuru, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka 810-0073. It is owned by company "Live House Drum", which operates six live houses across Japan. It was originally in 1988 in Daimyou, Fukuoka under the name "Hakata Drum Be-1", but was moved in 1999 to its current address in Tenjin, Fukuoka. Be-1 is one of the smaller venues in Japan, holding only 300 people standing. This leads to the acts they host being less popular, but also drawing a more dedicated fanbase. Fishmans has performed here.

"Live House Drum" owns six live houses across Japan. The largest of them is Kumamoto B.9 (originally Drum Be-9), which has been renamed several times. There is also Fukuoka Drum Logos, a live house very close in location to Drum Be-1. "Fukuoka Drum Son" is another live house, and the company also owns "Nagasaki Drum Be-7" and "Oita Drum Be-0".
