Night Fishing (stylized as NIGHT FISHING,[1] Japanese pronunciation: [naitoɸiꜜɕɕiŋɡɯ]) is the second studio album by Japanese band Sakanaction. It was released on January 23, 2008, through Victor Entertainment's BabeStar Label. The album primarily features music written by vocalist Ichiro Yamaguchi since the release of their debut album Go to the Future (2007). Compared to their debut album, which compiled songs that the band had already written, the majority of the songs on Night Fishing were written specifically for the release. The album was an attempt by the band to find a better balance between popular music and underground, and was an album where the members wanted to incorporate more of their own personal styles; which caused the members to disagree over its content much more than on their debut album.
The album was preceded by the digital singles "Word", "Sample" and "Night Fishing Is Good", all released in December 2007. Out of these, "Sample" was chosen as the main promotional track for the album, receiving high radio play in Hokkaido. Critically, the band was praised for their new direction on Night Fishing, with critics praising the album's mix of pop and electronic musical elements, Yamaguchi's poetic lyrics and "transparent" vocals. Night Fishing was more commercially successful than Go to the Future, reaching number 53 on the Oricon singles chart.
In 2009, the album was made available globally as a digital download, alongside the band's debut and third albums Go to the Future (2007) and Shin-shiro (2009). In 2015, the album was reissued on CD, LP record and lossless digital formats.
