Lyric

Drifting fluffy away

Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

昨日、鏡をみて ちょっと愕然とした

眉間のたて皺が深くなっていた

額にも一つ 目じりにもう一つ

笑いすぎたのか 怒りすぎたのか

1977年 おれたちは出会うだろう

ホテル・カリフォルニアが響く運動場で

おれはダッシュといった やつは莫迦かといった

それでもいつの間にやら おれらつるんでた

ふわふわ 綿菓子のような柔らかい毎日

ふわふわ 砂糖みたいな甘ちゃんの日々

1979年 おれたち歌うだろう

声をからして怒鳴り続けてた

ホントのことなんて てんで分かっちゃなくて

ただやみくもにイライラ叩きつけた

1980年 おれたち別れるのさ

四方八方散りぢりバラバラになって

感傷も後悔も未練もなにもなかった

正直なところちょっぴり寂しかった

だけど

ふわふわ 綿菓子のような日々にさようなら

ふわふわ 砂糖菓子は口のなかで溶けてった

昨日、鏡をみて 独り語ちていました

これまでの生き方 間違っていたのかと

バブルに酔いしれた ライバル蹴落とした

二十何年もありゃ そりゃいろいろあるだろう

Time waits for no one 長い月日が去った

おれもやつもあんたも それぞれの人生

あるいはうらぶれて あるいは家を建て

新しい生命を授かったりしてな

ふわふわ 風みたいにさりげなく漂ってこうぜ

久しぶりだといった 久しぶりだといった

ノスタルジーなんかじゃないぜ、そうだろ四十代

ふわふわ 風みたいにさりげなく漂ってこうぜ

ふわふわ それッ

ふわふわ 風みたいにさりげなく漂ってこうぜ

ふわふわ

    Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

My last album from 2002, '21st Century Protest Songs,' is my most important work, and the effort that went into it was no small feat. With the 5-track instrumental collection 'Chicane,' I showed the density of the backing tracks, but with this 'Gaiden,' I wanted to reveal how the songs were created and give a three-dimensional look at the structure of '21st Century Protest Songs.' So, in the 2025 version of 'Gaiden,' I included six simple demos, two outtakes, and also two tracks I made around the same time that have nothing to do with the album.
So, for this 2026 expanded edition, we've added one previously unreleased Eurobeat track at the beginning, three alternate versions of "Hen-sin" recorded back in 2001, and one track that's a mix of demos and outtakes. I think it turned out to be a pretty diverse collection. I hope you enjoy Iwashita Keisuke Sardine's footprints from the early 21st century.

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.
