生きるチカラ

ぼくにください

生きるために

もっと

もっと

誰かさんを手伝ってあげること

誰かさんの役にたつこと

わたしあなたの

チカラになれるよ

そんな気がする

目の前には弱気になっているひと

ひとりぼっち離れてるひと

わたしあなたのクスリでいいよ

元気をあげる

だからいいよ

遠慮しなくったって

いってあげる

名前呼んでくれたら

もしも

もしも

つらいことがあったなら

迷惑じゃないから

話しかけておいでよ

なにかしらしてあげたいと思うこと

手を貸さずにいられないこと

わたしあなたに優しくなれるよ

そんな気がする

目の前には弱気になっているひと

じぶんじしん見失っているひと

わたしあなたのクスリみたいでしょ

ラクになったかな

たぶんいいよ

だいじょうぶ得意よ

助けてあげる

電話かけてくれたら

もしも

もしも

よろこんでくれるなら

気づいてくれるかな

わたしもうれしいよ

だからいいよ

なんだっていってみて

応えられる

みつけてくれるから

ちょっとだけ

好きになってもいいよ

クスリじゃ不満かな

毒になってもいいよ

    As you like

The album 'Transformation,' recorded in 2001, was written all at once in a short period of time. The motivation for writing it was simple: I realized, 'Come to think of it, I still haven't made a collection of love songs.' Every song on the album is interconnected, giving the album an overall mood. If I were to put it into words, it's an expression of feelings akin to transparent sadness.

The cover photo was taken by my agent Taro-chan at the excavation site in Fuchu City. Since the album depicts scenes of the city in various places, perhaps the title could have been 'Tokyo.'

I hope it conveys something of the atmosphere of the time in 2001 when it was recorded.

Artist Profile

  • Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

    My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 20 years from 1983 to 2003, there are about 170 songs that I recorded using multitrack recording by myself. From 2024 to 2025, I have been releasing albums that compile these songs in chronological order. Then, in 2026, I plan to release several best-of albums based on the significance of the songs and listeners' preferences. 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.
