ぼくの疲れをぜんぶ
かの女は持っていきました
だいじょうぶ
捨ててくる
ウインクを残して
ぼくの部屋の窓から
かの女は出ていきました
ついさっきのことは
まるで夢のようだ
星空を見あげながら
冷たい空気に身をあてる
煙草のけむりが
ゆっくりと
上昇していく
夜に溶けていく
口先だけのなぐさめは
まるで役立たずでした
上手についたつもりの噓も
見破ったもんね
ふたりで散歩した道を
歩いている途中です
ついさっきまでぼくら
とてもしあわせだった
星空を見あげながら
プールの金網に
額をつける
煙草のけむりが
ゆっくりと
上昇していく
きみみたいに
とてもおいしそうに煙草を吸うんだね
かの女はいつも
ぼくにそういった
けむりはふわりと風に運ばれて
かの女のいるところへ
届くだろうな

Hug
Iwashita Keisuke Sardine
"Don't Let Me Go" was released in September 1996 and is Keisuke Iwashita's only self-produced CD. Production began in April and took about three months to complete. All lyrics, composition, arrangement, performance, singing, recording, editing, and cover illustrations were done by Iwashita himself. My partner gave me appropriate advice during the recording, so I credited her with "directions." At the time, I didn't have a computer, so I asked Kojima Recording in Yoyogi to do the mastering and printing. I ordered 500 sheets and 5 cardboard boxes. I priced it at 2,000 yen, but only about 200 copies were sold. Afterwards, I handed them out to people (I still have about 100 copies left in my closet).
The following is a quote from Kazuhiko Yukikawa, which was published in the "Independent Edition" of "Music Magazine January 1997" (pages 266-267).
"Don't Let Me Go" is a CD containing seven songs, mostly played and sung on the piano. It has a smooth flow similar to the quiet songs of Elton John, Todd Rundgren, and Pete Townshend, an oozing pop sensibility, and a heartrending voice and melody that remain in your heart.
Artist Profile
Iwashita Keisuke Sardine
My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 18 years from 1985 to 2002, I recorded about 150 songs that I recorded over multiple tracks by myself. I will release these songs one by one in 2024. First, I released the anthology "Catchy 22" a collection of familiar songs, on February 24th. Next, I released the bitter-sweet second anthology, "Sardine's Confession" on March 23rd. On April 27th, I released a collection of socially conscious works, "21st Century Protest Songs." Then, I will release "50/50," a piano and vocal album, on May 24th. After that, she released her first collection of works, "Everything/Nothing," on June 23rd, followed by a gem of a collection of lyrical poems, "Don't Let Me Go," on July 15th, and "Cut 'N' Paste," a collection of controversial works. It is scheduled to be Released on August 10th. "Henshin" will be released on November 16th, where I attempted a love song. These are oldies but evergreen songs that depict a mixture of romanticism, cold-heartedness, and passion, as well as incoherent anxiety and a longing for something that cannot be reached. Please listen to Sardine's songs.
