Adapt (アダプト) is the eighth studio album by Japanese rock band Sakanaction. It was released on March 30, 2022, through their own label NF Records, which is a Victor Entertainment subsidiary.[1][2]
Themes[edit]
The album is a concept album, dealing with what an album is in the digital age.[3] The title "Adapt" is a reference to how the band adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Prior to the album's release, a national tour was held across Japan.[5] The album was released on March 30, 2022.[6] Two singles titled "plateau" and "Shock!" were spawned from the album, the latter of which was used as the theme to the film Lupin's Daughter.[7][8] The song "Tsuki no Wan" was also used in a commercial for the Toyota Yaris Cross.[9][10] Another national tour was held after the album's release, in the second half of 2022.[11] Adapt is part of a two album project, with a follow-up album titled "Apply" scheduled to be released in 2023.[12][13]
