Lyric

What resonates in the city

Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

もうどれくらい指折り数えた もうどれくらい待ち続けた

溢れだすそうだ流れ出す涙 漏らすため息に窒息しそうだ

今日のこの星は 少しだけくたびれる

街に響くは恋の歌

ありふれたことばかりだ

考えてほしいといってるようだ

ぼくやあなたに なるべくみんなに ああ

もうこれ以上必要ないくらい もうこれ以上なくたっていい

今さら誰かが上書きしなくても もう十分さ筋書きは読める

ちょっとだけ余白が欲しいと思ってた

街に響くは恋の歌

あけすけなことば綴った

抱いてほしいと願ってるのか

ぼくやあなたに あまねくみんなに ああ

もうどれくらい愛してるっていった もうどれくらい星の数くらい

誰もが彼もが悲しみを抱えてる 満たされぬ憂鬱を持て余して

今日もこの星はなんとか回ってる

街に響くは恋の歌

響き渡るは誰の歌

あなたが好きといっているんだ

ぼくやあなたに それともみんなに?

ラララ......ラララ

街に響くは恋の歌

それよりぼくは あなたの声が聞きたい

    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.
