Transfer Student (Live rehearsal)

Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

みんな知らないやつばかり

ぼくも知らないやつだもの

うまくつきあえって

ムリだ

時間が足りなすぎるいつも

アクセントが違うから気に食わない

とかさ

事情が違うからミスをしでかす

とかね

転校生 転校生

余所者 目つきの悪いやつ

転校生 転校生

いつでもぼくは 異邦人

またもどしてしまったんだ

教室に入るのが怖くって

説明しろったってムリだ

絶対

説明

不可能

大人しくしすぎるとヤツら

つけあがるばかりだし

あんまり目立っていると

放課後もあるからね

転校生 転校生

のけ者 つきあい悪いやつ

転校生 転校生

いつでもぼくは エイリアン

転校生 転校生

のけ者 目つきの悪いやつ

転校生 転校生

いつでもぼくは エトランゼ

転校生 転校生

余所者 つきあい悪いやつ

転校生 転校生

いつでもぼくは 異邦人

    Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

"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.
