In 1999, I was definitely in a state of "fugue." I felt like I was losing touch with people and losing touch with the times. Especially in music, I felt like I was going against the trend and had lost my sense of home.
I was fed up with the uncoolness of the songs I wrote, but I decided to turn that uncoolness into an advantage, and that's what I produced during this period. Each of the nine tracks on this album has an embarrassingly cheesy quality, but now, after a quarter century, they resonate with me as simply unique songs, neither old nor new.
I was certainly pushed to the brink. But that's exactly why I was able to break new ground. When I recorded "Indigo blue" I felt a definite response and decided to give it a try a little more.
I'm happy to be able to introduce this song from the end of the century. Please enjoy listening to it.

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.
