Lyric

Maybe the first time

Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

いかさま さかさま 得意中の得意さ

逃げ道 屁理屈 ペテン師いつもの気まぐれ

いっそ任せろ いっそヤラせろ きっと全問へいちゃら

やられた 参った しくじっちまって舌打ち

落ち着け 考えろ 時間はまだ残ってるぜ

三つ数えろ 最初からもう一度 きっとすらすら解けるさ

Maybe the first time, I don't know

Maybe the first time, I don't know

こんなことって初めて、だって

いつのオンナも同じことぬかす

こんなことって初めて、だって

いまさらないぜ ひどいや

なんだか こんなの とってもズルいと思わない?

公式 筋道 論理の手管もお手あげ

納得いかない 理屈に合わない 教科書に書いてない

Maybe the first time, I don't know

Maybe the first time, I don't know

こんなことって初めて、だって

どんなオンナもそう言いやがる

こんなことって初めて、だって

そんなの まるでバカみたいだ

こんなことって初めて、だって

卑怯だ、きみは ひどいや

「ひどいね」

「ひどいわ」

Maybe the first time, I don't know

Maybe the first time, I don't know

"50 / 50," an 8-song collection produced by Sardine in 1989, is a collection of eight songs that fully demonstrates Iwashita's skills as a piano player. The title "Fifty-Fifty" means that the vocals and piano are equal, but the thick chorus created by solo overdubbing is also a distinctive feature.
For this release, four songs have been added: one instrumental that my presented in a composition lecture while I was a student at a music college, two live rehearsals, and one early version of "Awaken from a Dream."
The 2025 version has been corrected to make it easier to listen to, as it had some harsh noise and level variations in the 2024 version when it was first released.
I hope you enjoy it.

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.
