Lyric

I want to be your shadow (Demo)

Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

夜中にそっとぬけ出して駆けつけるわたし

二十四時間あなたに寄りそっていたい

たまに躰を交わすくらいで

恋人と呼ばれるはずもない

冷たいひとと他人はいうけど

違うでしょ、違うでしょう

愛情のない行為 それでもいいと思ってる

ああ そういうことをする

あなたの影になりたいわたしだから

あなたのことを何でも知りたがるわたし

二十二、三の娘みたい 嫉妬してみたい

いつもだれかにこころ奪われ

笑うでしょ、口惜しいはずなのに

そんなあなたの微笑みみつけ

笑うでしょ、笑うでしょう

愛情の表現は わたし以外を向いていたっていいわ

だいじょうぶ

あなたの影になりたいわたしだから

こんなに近くにいるのに

気づかないそぶり 何故

いつわりつぶやきため息

うそついてばかり 勝手

きっと

愛情のない方向へ あなたこれから彷徨うでしょう

そういうことをする……

だいじょうぶ、だいじょうぶよ

あなたの影になりたいわたしだから

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.
