今夜こそはおまえに告げなくちゃいけない

俺がどんなに俺がこんなに想っているかを

最終までもう少し時間があるんだ

何をいおうか どう切り出すか考えている

I can't say どうしても俺にはいえない

I can't say おまえになんにもいえない

待合室は寒い だけどこころは熱い

あと三分か あと二分かでおまえが降りてくる

うまく笑えるだろうか自然にふるまえるか

いくら悩んで 考えたって詮のないこと

I can't say どうしても俺にはいえない

I can't say 簡単で分かりきったことなのに

I can't say どうして、俺にはいえない

I can't say 若僧がたやすく口にしてるくせ

へたくそな口笛でブルーズを吹いてみた

コンクリートの壁に響き そして燻りつづけてる

I can't say

何本目の煙草だ いつ火を点けたんだ

吸殻みたく いつも気持ちを揉み消すばかり

二十四のブルーズよ あの娘の耳に届け

俺の願いと 俺の祈りが躓く前に

I can't say どうしても俺にはいえない

I can't say おまえにただ一言だけ

I can't say I can't say I can't say

I can't say プラットホームにゆっくり降りてくる

降りてくる

降りてくる

Oh, No

"50 / 50," an 8-song collection produced by Sardine in 1989, is a collection of eight songs that fully demonstrates Iwashita's skills as a piano player. The title "Fifty-Fifty" means that the vocals and piano are equal, but the thick chorus created by solo overdubbing is also a distinctive feature.
For this release, four songs have been added: one instrumental that my presented in a composition lecture while I was a student at a music college, two live rehearsals, and one early version of "Awaken from a Dream."
The 2025 version has been corrected to make it easier to listen to, as it had some harsh noise and level variations in the 2024 version when it was first released.
I hope you enjoy it.

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.
