"50/50," an 8-song collection produced by Sardine in 1989, is a collection of eight songs that fully demonstrates Iwashita's abilities as a piano player. It also features thick choruses created by overdubbing alone.
For this release, we added a total of four songs: one instrumental that I presented in a composition class while I was in Music college, two rehearsals during live performances, and one early version of "Awakening from a Dream."
The simultaneous recording of the vocals and piano sometimes has a rough appearance and there are mistakes, but the realism of the documentary is unmatched. Please enjoy.
My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 18 years from 1985 to 2002, I recorded about 150 songs that I recorded over multiple tracks by myself. I will release these songs one by one in 2024. First, I released the anthology "Catchy 22" a collection of familiar songs, on February 24th. Next, I released the bitter-sweet second anthology, "Sardine's Confession" on March 23rd. On April 27th, I released a collection of socially conscious works, "21st Century Protest Songs." Then, I will release "50/50," a piano and vocal album, on May 24th. After that, she released her first collection of works, "Everything/Nothing," on June 23rd, followed by a gem of a collection of lyrical poems, "Don't Let Me Go," on July 15th, and "Cut 'N' Paste," a collection of controversial works. It is scheduled to be Released on August 10th. "Henshin" will be released on November 16th, where I attempted a love song. These are oldies but evergreen songs that depict a mixture of romanticism, cold-heartedness, and passion, as well as incoherent anxiety and a longing for something that cannot be reached. Please listen to Sardine's songs.
