Sakanazukan (魚図鑑, "Book of Fishes") is a greatest hits album by Japanese rock band Sakanaction. It was released on March 28, 2018 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of their major debut. The album uses an unusual layout in which the three CDs are enclosed in a fish encyclopedia booklet, a homage to the band's name (Sakana (魚) means fish in Japanese).[1][2]
The compilation album is split into three discs, Asase (浅瀬, Shallows), Chūsō (中層, Medium Depth) and Shinkai (深海, Deep Sea), with the last being only included in the Limited Edition Premium Box.[1] One new song Kagerou (陽炎), which was used as the theme song for the live-action adaptation of the fantasy manga Donten ni Warau, is also featured in the album. The album was considerably successful, topping both the Oricon and Billboard Japan Hot Albums charts.
