Silverfish are insects & funamushi are malacostracans. They're both arthropods and they look similar, but they're in different subphyla (Hexapoda vs Crustacea), live in different environments, and aren't that closely related.

As an Anonymous said before, that's not a silverfish. Their antennae don't look that way and they don't have that many legs (since they are insects, they only have 6). That looks more like a wharf roach to me, which is an isopod (like the pillbugs), not an insect.
