"Hen-sin," produced in the fall of 2001, was recorded using a newly introduced Behringer mixer and CD-R. While the sound quality was clear, the bass seemed thin, so I corrected it with the 2025 version.
In addition, while the basic structure of the 11 songs remains unchanged, four new outtakes have been added.
I hope this gives you a clearer picture of the album as a whole. I hope you enjoy it.
The photo for the new jacket was taken in Fuchu City by Taro-chan, the archaeological excavation agent.
"Hen-sin" could have been titled "Tokyo," as each of the 11 songs evokes a cityscape.
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.
