Natsukashii Tsuki wa Atarashii Tsuki: Coupling & Remix Works (懐かしい月は新しい月 ~Coupling & Remix works~, "A Nostalgic Moon Is a New Moon") (Japanese pronunciation: [natsɯ̥kaɕi: tsɯkʲi̥ wa ataɾaɕi: tsɯkʲi̥])) is a compilation album by Japanese band Sakanaction, featuring B-sides, remixes and rarities released throughout their career. It will be released on August 5, 2015 through Victor Entertainment.
The collection features three discs of material: Tsuki no Namigata: Coupling & Unreleased Works (月の波形 ~Coupling & Unreleased works~, "Ripples of the Moon"), a compilation of all of the B-sides featured on the band's 10 physically released singles between 2008 and 2014 and unreleased material, Tsuki no Hen'yō: Remix Works (月の変容 ~Remix works~, "The Changing of the Moon"), a compilation of the band's remixes including several new works and a visual disc, Tsuki no Keshiki: Documentary of "Go to the Future (2006 Ver.)" & Music Videos (月の景色 ~Documentary of "GO TO THE FUTURE(2006 ver.)" & MUSIC VIDEOS~, "A View of the Moon").
In early January 2015 the band's bassist Ami Kusakari announced her pregnancy, which caused the band to halt all of their live concerts until October. This led to several re-releases by the band: Sakanaction's album discography was released in a lossless digital format on March 18, followed by CD and LP record re-releases of their first three studio albums Go to the Future, Night Fishing and Shin-shiro on March 25. Originally the band had planned on releasing a new studio album in late March, but instead re-released these album to fulfill contractual obligations.
