I was hesitant to release "Hen-sin" Because I felt it was too naked. This collection of songs projects my own experience of love in a rather rarefied way. I felt embarrassed to expose them. But,
Paul McCartney said, "The first step is to let go of the shame." Writing, creating, and singing rock 'n' roll involves embarrassment, but if you don't overcome your shyness, you will never be able to achieve your goal of expression.
Following his lead, I decided to distribute this collection of works, "Hen-sin," with the intention of letting go of my shyness. It would be the same if I were to be ashamed now. You can understand what kind of character I have and how I have observed people by listening to the eleven love songs I have contributed here.

Artist Profile

  • Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

    My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 20 years from 1983 to 2003, I have recorded about 200 songs by myself. I compiled these into eight albums and released them one by one in 2024. In 2025, instead of an anthology, I will release an album edited in chronological order. Sardine's music is diverse. It ranges from accessible pop to socially conscious message songs, from progressive constructions to punk subversiveness. I'm a formidable pianist, a mad synthesizer player, a halting guitarist, a tone-reading bassist, a loose percussionist, and a clumsy singer-songwriter with solo multi-choruses. All of these parts are integrated into one persona. A mixture of romance, cold-heartedness and passion, depicting incoherent anxiety and yearning for something unattainable, this is an oldie but an evergreen. Please listen to Sardine's expressive music.
