Sardine's Skeleton Front Cover

相手は強くて とってもタフだった 太刀打ちできなかった

ベストを尽くし たたかったけど 負けてしまった

すぐにまっすぐ 帰れないんなら おれのところへ来い

親友 励ましたりしないぜ

親友 慰めたりしないぜ

親友 せいいっぱいやったんなら いいじゃないか

失望は次第に怒りにとってかわった 周囲を取り囲んだ

批判や非難 誹謗中傷 嘲り笑い

そんなもんなら 吹き飛ばしてやる おれのところへ来い

親友 同情なんかはしないぜ

親友 なんにも変わりはしないぜ

親友 せいいっぱいやったんだろう いいじゃないか

くだらないことで 悔やんでるなよ

おれを信じて来るんだ

親友 必要だったらいつでも

親友 おまえのチカラになってやる

親友 おまえの傍に立ってやる

手を貸してやる 肩を貸してやるぜ

親友 どん底まで落ちたら

親友 あとは上っていくだけ

親友 おれにできることなら なんでもするさ ああ

"Sardine's Skeleton" is an album compiled and reconstructed from recordings made by Iwashita Keisuke Sardine between 1996 and 1998.
My creative drive did not wane after the 1996 release of my self-produced CD, "Hanashite wa Ikenai"(Don't Let Me Go). This album captures recordings from a period when I was testing the limits of my potential. To put it positively, the material is diverse; to put it negatively, it lacks a unified style. There were many failed attempts born of trial and error, but from those, I selected tracks that still feel interesting to me today. I hope you will listen to them with an open mind.
Incidentally, the playful photo on the album cover was taken in New York's Central Park.

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.
