Shintaro Sakamoto has shared a live in-studio performance video for his latest single, “Is There A Place For You There?”, 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 out January 23, 2026 via Zelone Records.

The song was performed by the Shintaro Sakamoto Band, including Shintaro Sakamoto (vocal & guitar), AYA (bass), Yuta Suganuma (drums), Tetsu Nishiuchi (flute), with the recording engineered by Soichiro Nakamura.

Written and produced by Sakamoto, “Is There A Place For You There?” blends nostalgic Pop influences with Dub-infused production.
