Fishmans

Fishmans were a Japanese band active from 1987 to 1999 known for blending dub, dream-pop and reggae-influenced sounds.

Long Season is presented in the review as a continuous ~36-minute piece recorded in Tokyo (Waikiki Beach studio). The album's production is credited to ZAK in the review. Frontman Shinji Sato is identified in the review as the composer and vocalist; the review states he passed away at age 33. Publicly verifiable: Fishmans are a Japanese band whose original run ended after Shinji Sato's death in 1999.

The available review praises Long Season as a compact, dreamlike 36-minute composition anchored by Shinji Sato's expressive voice and dub-influenced arrangements. The writing highlights urgency beneath apparent calm, a notable percussion section and production by ZAK. The review frames the record as evocative of the 1990s while emphasizing its emotional directness.
