Shintaro Sakamoto Shares Live In-Studio Performance Video for “Is There a Place for You There?”
Latest single from the upcoming album Yoo-Hoo, due January 23, 2026 via Zelone Records / Secretly Distribution
Today, Shintaro Sakamoto has shared a live in-studio performance video for his latest single, “Is There A Place For You There?”, which premiered yesterday via Post-Trash, directed by Yasuyuki Yamaguchi. The recording took place last month at Peace Music studio in Tokyo, where Sakamoto recorded his upcoming LP Yoo-hoo, due January 23, 2026 release via Zelone Records. Performed by the Shintaro Sakamoto Band – Shintaro Sakamoto (Vocal & Guitar), AYA (Bass), Yuta Suganuma (Drums), Tetsu Nishiuchi (Flute) – with the recording engineered by Soichiro Nakamura, this in-studio version is exclusive to this video release. “Is There A Place For You There?” was featured last week as a KCRW ‘Today’s Top Tune’. Written and produced by Sakamoto, “Is There A Place For You There?” blends nostalgic Showa-era pop influences with dub-infused production, featuring lyrics that capture the spirit of today through Sakamoto’s unique perspective—showcasing his signature style in full.

El Michels Affair drops another showstopping single from their forthcoming album 24 Hr Sports. “Indifference” features the one and only Shintaro Sakamoto on vocals, going back & forth from singing to talking, weaving a tale about fleeting love.
El Michels Affair lays down a swanky tune built on a bouncing bassline and flute chops, with Shintaro finding the pocket and perfectly riding the arrangement.
We pressed a Japan exclusive 45 with “Indifference” b/w “Clean The Line” which will be available in Japanese record shops on Wednesday, July 30th.
The artwork for the 7-inch by Shintaro Sakamoto has also been revealed. Make sure to give it a listening!
