DJ In My Life ｴﾚﾌｧﾝﾄｶｼﾏｼ

Included on the album released on September 29, 2004.

Unusually for Elekashi, it has a relaxed rhythm.

Minsai’s words stick in your head and keep repeating even after the song ends.

Hiroji Miyamoto’s singing lacks his usual intensity, but it’s a track that stays with you.

Elephant Kashimashi “Call and Response” Music Video

This is a masterpiece where Elephant Kashimashi’s power and delicacy blend together.

Released in 2000 as their 24th single, it was used as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN.” Hiroji Miyamoto’s distinctive timbre and passionate vocals leave a strong impression, and the lyrics—which make one think deeply about the dignity of life and the relationship between society and the individual—resonate in the heart.

Coupled with its brisk guitar sound, it’s a track that energizes the listener.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling worn out by daily life or standing at a crossroads—it’s sure to offer you a new perspective and courage.

Rock Shop (Samidare Tokyo) - The Elephant Kashimashi

A single released by Elecashi in 2003, it’s a straight-up rock ’n’ roll number that says: stick to your own “going my way.” Its message is to face forward with your own convictions, even when you’re getting battered by the rain.

The lyrics are about pushing through each day despite doubts and struggles, which I think will especially resonate with new members of the workforce and students starting a new term.

And Miyamoto’s signature, life-force-packed, blazing-hot vocals are just the best! When you’re feeling stuck and nothing seems to work, go ahead and shout it out! In a world full of unfairness, this is a powerful song that fires you up with a “Come on, let’s do our best.”

Heisei Risou Shugi

Included on the album “Kaze,” released on September 29, 2004.

As the opening track, it makes a powerful impact.

Although it’s a long piece running over nine minutes, it is also performed live.

The song’s development is skillful, making dynamic use of tempo and intensity, and despite its length it never bores the listener.

RESTARTElefanto Kashimashi68rank/position

Elephant Kashimashi “RESTART”

This work, presented by Elephant Kashimashi to commemorate their 30th anniversary, is a powerful song that heralds a new beginning for the band.

Used as the theme song for a Fuji TV drama, it showcases a superb fusion of Hiroji Miyamoto’s overwhelming vocal prowess and the band’s robust, no-frills sound.

The lyrics, which sing of restarting one’s life and the will to take on new challenges, are sure to resonate with many listeners.

Released in 2017, it became Elekashi’s 50th single.

In the music video, Miyamoto plays a salaryman, conveying the importance of continuing to pursue one’s dreams.

I believe it’s a song that offers courage and hope to those struggling with work or life.

Monster YouthElefanto Kashimashi69rank/position

Elephant Kashimashi “Bakemono Seinen” cover. From the album “Tobira.”

It seems the provisional vocals recorded during the composition stage were adopted as the actual lyrics for this song.

Since the off-the-cuff lyrics were kept as they were, the vocalist, Mr.

Miyamoto, said in an interview that “the mood of the moment is reflected.” I felt that this way of making a song expresses that initial impulse, and that it’s quite good.

Distant ShoreElefanto Kashimashi70rank/position

Distant Beach (Album Mix) / The Elephant Kashimashi

It’s a song that gently sings of a longing for a distant town and the troubles of everyday life.

Released in 1997, this track by Elephant Kashimashi captivates with Hiroji Miyamoto’s powerful vocals and the band’s passionate sound.

It delicately expresses the feeling of wanting to set off far away when your heart is hurt.

The piece is known as a staple favorite at Elephant Kashimashi’s live shows.

It’s recommended for those who feel worn out by daily life or who want to take a new step forward.

Why not listen to this song and refresh your heart?
