FISHCAST: A Fishmans Podcast

Do not let Ray's coughs and grunts confuse you, the Fishcast is in perfectly good health and ready to discuss the first album in the fan-speculated "Setagaya Trilogy"! What does "tempermental" mean? Are these last three studio albums truly part of a "trilogy"? Should you take edibles? So many fascinating queries are posed, and only a few are answered as the duo cordially converses about Fishmans' fifth studio effort. One thing is for certain, however: "新しい人".

Remember the listener poll we had in our last episode? We do. We go over the results in this episode. You, the people, did not disappoint! Also we talk about "Oh! Mountain" but that's not nearly as important, because it's "Oh! Mountain." Okay.

You'll be happy to know that we are tackling the "Setagaya Trilogy" next. 

What's your favorite color? Is it possible this color could be "Orange"? The namesake of Fishmans' 4th studio album? Whatever your answer may be, there's the slightest possibility you may enjoy what Cris and Ray have to say about the 1994 release. Essentially, the band takes on the sounds of funk rock and psychedelia, while also not completely doing that. To resolve any possible confusion, grab a mojito and listen in! The duo has much to say about this album, and sometimes, it's relevant. Was the band referencing the color or the fruit? The duo does not answer this question, though it's more likely the band was referencing the color.

At long last, the Cast returns with their most anticipated review yet! Joined once again by a very special guest, the gang breaks down Fishmans' most popular and widely-acclaimed album "Neo Yankees' Holiday"! Everyone loves this album. There is nothing else to say. Stay fishy.

The wait is over! Join the Fishcast once more, along with a very special guest, in this gasoline-fueled deep dive into the elusive and undeniably Nipponese musical journey that is Fishmans' studio album number 2, "King Master George"! Through many technological difficulties, the gang made it work, and the mischievous 16-track album is given the spotlight it deserves. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as Shinji enjoy's Kit-Kats and Hamburger Steaks.

Well, they're back! It's the second episode of FISHCAST, and this time, Cris and Ray discuss the oft-forgotten EP "Corduroy's Mood", hoping to unveil what kind of mood corduroy seems to be in - spoiler alert, it's a pretty good mood! In this review of the band's sole EP, we tackle what it means to truly be Shibuya-Kei, the bands cozy and adorable wardrobe, winter time, and hot chocolate. We may even discuss the music itself! Tune in and find out.

Good Morning - It's the debut episode of FISHCAST!  Cris and Ray are here to stay... today, we're breaking down the first Fishmans studio album. During this track-by-track review of "Chappie, Don't Cry," we discuss the band's early sound as well as their "Future." Join us on our fishing vessel as we cast out into the world of Shinji Sato and his musical friends.
