気がついたとき あなたはいなかった
振り向いたときには 気配だけ残っていた
離れては 姿さえ 見えなくて 届かない
遠くにいるあいだに あなたは辛かった？
すがりたいときには 声を聞きたくなった
季節が揺れているあいだに 花は散ってしまうよ
かりん、かりん、かりんと
気がついたとき あなたはここにいた
振り向かなくたって 静やかに住んでいた
夜が消えてゆくとすぐに 花は枯れてしまうよ
かりん、かりん、かりんと
小さな川を泳ぐ 魚になって泳ぐ 泳げなくても泳ぐ
小さな川を泳ぐ 水の湧くその場所へ たどり着くまで泳ぐ
ひとつ残った実を 齧っていいだろうか
まだ硬いその実を 熟れるまで待ってるのか
もぎ取って食べるには 早すぎる、遅すぎる？
気がついたときに 目の前に立っていた
手に触れたとたんに 零れてしまいそうだ
もう少し眺めてていい？ もう少し眺めてて いいか
かりん、かりん、かりん
かりん、かりん、かりん

Drifting
Iwashita Keisuke Sardine
I lived in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, from 1989 to 1996 and worked for a manufacturer of educational musical instruments. As a professional instructor, I taught across Japan, arranged music, and wrote sheet music.
The songs written during those seven years all have a somewhat composed demeanor. The reason I gave the album the pretentious title 'Windsor Knot' was also a reflection on my days as a salaryman, always wearing a tie for work.
When it was released in January 2025, it was an epic work of over an hour with 18 tracks, but for this re-release, I have carefully selected 8 songs to present. I believe the album now has a more concentrated structure.
I hope listeners can sense the loneliness and inner struggle glimpsed behind the stylish front of a man reaching the end of his youth.
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.
