Fishmans 2009

Fishmans (フィッシュマンズ) was an influential Japanese dub band formed in 1987.

They were ranked number 83 in a list of Japans top 100 musicians provided by HMV, and are renowned for their unique sound, and the distinctive vocals of lead singer Shinji Sato.

Due to heart problems that Shinji Sato suffered since he was born, the Fishmans performed their final concert on December 28th, 1998. Sato left the stage immediately after a single "goodbye" with his eyes teary. He passed away the following year on the 15th of March due to heart failure. Subsequently, the Fishmans did not end there. In 2004, a tribute album by other musicians was released, and was followed by the albums "Kuchu" and "Uchu" in 2005, which included rare and unreleased tracks alongside their best hits.

On the 22nd of November, 2005. The original members of Fishmans paid tribute to their fans and Shinji Sato, by performing at the Rising Sun Rock Festival. The show lasted three and a half hours, and featured many guest singers, who performed the vocals. The following month, a tribute art exhibition The Long Season Rewind was held in Shibuya with contributions from various artists.

Most recently in 2006, "The Long Season Revue" was released on DVD. The live concert was originally only screened in theatres and it featured the original members of the band together with a cast of supporting musicians such as UA and Ikuko Harada.
