"Native Dancer" (Japanese: ネイティブダンサー, Hepburn: Neitibu Dansā) (Japanese pronunciation: [neitibudansa:]) is a song by Japanese band Sakanaction. It was released on January 7, 2009 as a digital single from the band's third album Shin-shiro.[1] Its accompanying music video directed by Yuichi Kodama was a critical success, winning the best conceptual video award at the 2010 Space Shower Music Video Awards.
In 2010, the song was remixed by electronic musician Rei Harakami for inclusion on the band's "Aruku Around" single. This would become one of Harakami's final releases before his death in July 2011.[2]
