Hit and popular songs by SHISHAMO (Shishamo)

Let me introduce a song by SHISHAMO, a three-piece girls’ band from Kanagawa Prefecture.

Their debut came about when a record label representative happened to overhear the advisor of their high school light music club talking at his regular tonkatsu restaurant, saying, “There’s a great band.”

Apparently, the restaurant was even selling their CDs.

Their appeal lies in the down-to-earth lyrics written by the vocalist, Ms.

Miyazaki, and their performance skills that contrast with their cute visuals.

Now, please enjoy a song by SHISHAMO, a staple of the next generation of girls’ rock bands.

It’s a story about a man on an overseas assignment.

His posting is in Africa, and the girl in the song, Leila, is African, with a well-defined face, long slightly permed black hair—there’s even a concrete image of her.

Although he’s doing something truly awful, it still makes you feel a sudden, aching sadness.

If you’re doing an all-female cover band, it’s gotta be SHISHAMO! You can fully showcase that cute, girly charm.

The playing is simple yet powerful, and overall the songs are so catchy that you’ll remember the melodies after just one listen.

This is a song about a timid boy who can’t even hold hands with the girl he’s dating and is troubled by it.

However, the girl is cheating on him, and instead of the simple necklace he gave her, she’s wearing a flashy one around her neck.

She murmurs that I’m not enough for her.

I witness the scene.

It’s a very heartrending song.

Sorry, my heartSHISHAMO

Sorry, My Love / SHISHAMO (cover)
Sorry, my heartSHISHAMO

It portrays a fresh, innocent love in which, before they can confess their feelings, the person they like ends up getting a partner, leaving them struggling to accept that reality.

The way they half-jokingly use social media to peek into the daily life of their crush and the new partner—only to make it hurt even more—is something many young people today can probably relate to.

There was no official music video, so this is a cover video.

The season of farewellSHISHAMO

This song captures the bittersweet feelings on the day a beloved upperclassman graduates.

Just by listening, you can picture vivid scenes—the cherry trees in the schoolyard and the senior’s departing figure.

You can’t help but root for the protagonist, who has sincere feelings for the senior but lacks the courage to confess them.

Anyone who has ever fallen for an upperclassman will feel this one strike straight to the heart.

Minna no UtaSHISHAMO

Although there are many painful experiences, it portrays someone trying to keep living in their own way.

The lyrics, in which the singer encourages themselves—saying they know best how hard they’re trying and striving to stand up—make it a song that rewards everyone working hard across the country, I believe.

The music video is also incredibly cute and a must-see.
