"Blue Train" (ブルートレイン, Burū Torein) is a song by Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation. It was released as the first single of their third studio album, Fanclub, on November 30, 2005. The song entered the top five on the Oricon charts and sold well over 100,000 copies by 2006, becoming the 94th single of the year. Arguably, it has the most complex drum track that drummer Kiyoshi Ijichi plays out of Ajikan's other songs.
