Fishmans (フィッシュマンズ) is a Japanese dub pop/rock band formed in 1987. In 2003, HMV Records Japan rated them #83 in their 'Top 100 Japanese pops Artists'. "If fishmans were categorized into a particular music group in Japan, it would be Shimokitazawa-kei music as opposed to Shibuya-kei music. Their works still remain in the major music scene in Japan after the singer Shinji Sato passed away in 1999".
