In 1984, I was approached by an antique store in Kita-Aoyama to create background music to be played in the store for the opening of its new premises. The shop must have liked my occasional piano improvisations, because they asked me to create background music for the store's opening. I was so enthusiastic that I prepared all the materials. But when I played them back, I found that they were all too organic, with a clear main melody, to be of any use in creating an atmosphere. I was so discouraged by this that I finally failed to submit a song before the deadline (fortunately, a fellow guitarist in the band provided an environmental music soundtrack).
In this way, in my early twenties, I continued to lose the trust of those around me.
The sound sources that I failed to provide were not pleasant to listen to and did not fit in the port district of the 1980s, but as a work of art, there are many interesting aspects. For some people, it's possible to hear traces of the hard work of Non-musician with no knowledge or skills, who used all their imagination to create the music. The layers of sound that I developed during this period will eventually become the hallmark of my music, and those who can appreciate the budding sound may enjoy the degraded sound quality of the tapes.
If you can, please keep the volume low and it will sound good.

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.
