The name Sakanaction is a portmanteau of (Japanese for "fish") and "action". In the band's own words, their name reflects a wish to act quickly and lightly, like fish in the water, without fearing changes in the music scene. Their records consistently reach the top 10 positions on Japan's Oricon charts.
