The rock trio Analogfish consists of one drum kit, one guitar, and one bass. What they lack in physical stage presence is more than made up in their instrumental talents and three part vocals. Though Kentaro Sasaki's voice is predominant. Akira Shimooka's co-vocal is always there to compliment and add another depth to the lyrics. Add Syuichiro Saito's chorus to the mix and Analogfish has something unique among rock bands, harmonies.

Analogfish was formed by Kentaro Sasaki and Akira Shimooka. They met in junior high school. In 1999, Sasaki and Oka recorded an untitled demo cassette as Analog Fish. In 2000, they moved to Tokyo. As a duo with a support drummer they began performing live venues in 2001. Syuichiro Saito joined the band as drummer and chorus, in April 2002. In October of that year, Analogfish produced and recorded their own demo Analog Fish 2, consisting of nine tracks. Five of these tracks would form the core of their first album.

They were signed to Magnet Records in 2003, and released their first album, Sekai Ha Maboroshi on June 25, of that year. In 2004, Analogfish signed with Epic-Sony and released the album Analog Fish [self-titled] on June 23, 2004. They released the single Hello Hello Hello on September 23, 2004, and their newest single BGM? on February 23, 2005.

One of the highlights of 2004, I'd recommend the album Analog Fish [self-titled].
