Five-member electronic fusion rock band Sakanaction announced they will be releasing a brand new album, mysteriously titled 834.194, scheduled for release April 24. The announcement of the album comes from Sakanaction’s segment during TOKYO FM’s SCHOOL OF LOCK! radio show. 834.194 will be the group’s latest original album since sakanaction (2013) and their seventh original album overall. Lead vocalist Ichiro Yamaguchi has been dodging questions about the true meaning of the title of the album, stating that “the numbers have a special meaning behind them and the fans that truly understand the meaning behind them will understand the theme we are going to convey in this album.”

834.194 will include recently released songs such as “多分、風。”(“Tabun, Kaze”) and ”新宝島” (“Shin Takara Shima”) and is set to drop with three different editions: a CD-only standard edition and two limited editions simply titled Type A and Type B which will include a Blu-ray and DVD respectively. Included on both Blu-ray and DVD will be Sakanaction’s ten year anniversary concert in Tokyo’s Shin Kiba Studio Coast live house, with the Blu-ray including several music videos that will be on the album itself.
