砂糖の夢は夜に溶けてった
鞄に詰めた術を抱いていた
一面の廣野スズランが咲いていた
コバルト色した空の下には
窓に歪んだ文字を書いていた
途方に暮れた若いのがいった
ありがとうよ先生
射幸心なる言葉
徒に煽って此処にたどり着いた
待ち焦がれた感触 忘れることない
魔法のような手に かかってしまえば最後さ
搾り取られるさ
握りしめたタダの紙っ切れは
路頭を迷うしわくちゃの屑さ
焦らせないでくれ
僅かばかり道草
賽の目振りこむ間くらいは
巻き込まれた瞬間 忘れるはずもない
明日になってみんな 持っていったらいいさ
生きていけるって いいな
砂糖の夢は溶けてなくなった
車窓の向こう雪が舞っていた
オホーツクの空スズラン揺れていた
まだ見ぬ光景 浮かんで消えた
当たらぬ標的 狙いを定め
満月 両手に慰め給え

This release is the fourth in the Cassette Gadget series.
In the first half of 2001 (the 21st century), I completely rethought my approach to composition. Specifically, I dug deep into the content of the lyrics, writing the lyrics first and then creating the melody. I wrote over 30 songs during this period, and the majority of them would later appear on two albums.
Many of the studies included here are little more than sketches. Most are one-take recordings of me strumming a poorly guitar. They're bare-bones, without the cosmetic of an arrangement, so there's little to entertain the listener. Still, they offer excellent material for examining my compositional process (although who knows what else might do so in the future, lol).
The jacket photo was taken in Onomichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture by my wife.
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.
