The members are Akira Sakata, a leading figure in free jazz, Nana Omori, a pianist whose music intersects free jazz and contemporary music, and Manabu Sakata (Akira Sakata's son), a drummer who works without borders from pop music to jazz.\n\nThe three first performed together in 2017, and later added Shinobu Kawai (bass) and began performing as \"Akira Sakata COCODA.\n\nIn 2023, they released the CD \"Withered Sunflowers,\" which was well received.\n\nIn 2025, the band was renamed Akira Sakata SOS, and participated in festivals such as Earth Day and Haruichiban, and in June, went on a six-stop tour of Kure, Tokushima, Okayama, Onomichi, Shimane, and Hiroshima.\n\nIn addition to his longtime fans, he is well received by people of all ages and both men and women who have had no contact with free jazz (including those who are surprised and burst out laughing).\n\nAugust 15, 2025 \"Akira Sakata SOS\" 1st Album \"In a Sentimental Mood\" released. Mixed and mastered by Jim O'Rourke.\n\nSakata says, \"I want you to look at the unpredictable performance every time you listen to the album like a scenery seen from a car window.\n\nWe hope you will catch the sound of SOS.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DAPHNIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598184022305,"sku":"4562250922021","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4562250922021.jpg?v=1755223295","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ch\/products\/4562250922021","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
