Alternative rock band sakanaction, known for mixing electronic elements in their music, will release their long-awaited new single Arquà Round on January 13th 2010.

This will be the band's first release since Shinshiro, their latest and highly praised album released in January this year, which peaked at number 8 on the Oricon general sales chart. During this period, the group focused on playing in live events and festivals, increasing the fans' excitement for a new release.

Arquà Round is said to feature a resemblance to '80s dance music, creating a very upbeat rhythm. Besides this song, the single will include two other songs: Spoon to ase, which will mix folk and electro music, and a remix of Native Dancer, the main track from Shinshiro, created by rei harakami.

The limited edition of the single, in addition to all three main songs, will also feature the bonus track "FISH ALIVE chapter2" 1 sequence by 3 songs - SAKANAQUARIUM 2009 ＠SAPPORO - a three-song live track which was previously sold as a digital release via iTunes.
