"Fujisawa Loser" (藤沢ルーザー) is the lead single of Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation's fifth studio album, Surf Bungaku Kamakura, released on October 15, 2008. The single's b-side is a cover song from American rock band The Rentals. [1]
The music video for "Fujisawa Loser" was directed by Naoto Nakanishi. [2] It received a nomination for best Conceptual Video at the 2009 SPACE SHOWER Music Video Awards. [3] The highly conceptual PV explores the thoughts of a young musician who has just received a letter of employment once his job application is approved of. He now has to decide the path of his future and choose between two life choices: being a salaryman or being in a rock band. The decision is metaphorically portrayed as race in which the man is split into two personas–a salaryman and a guitar player–and races against himself to the goal at the end of the finish line.
The race is broken down into four stages, each of which contains unique obstacles for both contenders:
No. | Title | Lyrics | Music | Length |

1. | "Fujisawa Loser" (藤沢ルーザー) | Masafumi Gotoh | Masafumi Gotoh | 2:45 |
2. | "Hello Hello" (with The Rentals) | Matt Sharp | Matt Sharp | 4:20 |
Total length: | 7:05 |
