[SHISHAMO] Band Member [Bass]

It’s a song about a girl who admires band guys.

The subject is a girl who stands in the front row at live houses, gazing absentmindedly at the band—someone who seems to come not for the band’s music, but because she likes the band members’ faces.

The song portrays her straightforward feelings for a bandman.

To tell the truth,SHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “Actually, I…”

It’s an outrageous song about how I’ve been listening every night to my friend’s complaints after he broke up with his girlfriend—who, in fact, is now my girlfriend.

Even though she chose me, it depicts how I just can’t bring myself to confess the truth and agonize over it.

The song is set as a continuation of “Boku ni Kanojo ga Dekitan da” (“I Got a Girlfriend”), and when you listen to them together, you can’t help but feel sympathy for the friend in this song.

Winter SongSHISHAMO

Winter Song / SHISHAMO (Acoustic Solo)

I’m in unrequited love with a friend—though maybe the feelings are mutual.

But because our relationship is so close and comfortable right now, I’m afraid of ruining it and can’t confess.

That’s what this song is about.

It turned into a really frustrating kind of song.

I bet many people have had an experience like this.

You and the slopesSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “You and the Slopes”

It’s a song you could call a new winter standard.

It vividly portrays the shift from the excitement of going out with a friend group that includes your crush to the painful realization that the person they like is also in that group, making the listener feel as though they’ve experienced heartbreak themselves.

Even so, the melody is pop and easy to listen to, and once you hear it, it sticks in your head.

The reason I confessed to youSHISHAMO

The reason I confessed to you - acoustic cover.

It’s a bold song where the singer declares they confessed to their crush because she’s the most beautiful girl in school.

People around them say things like she’s kind and has a good personality, and the protagonist wonders, How do you even know that? It captures a feeling that everyone has probably had at least once.

Beside a SmileSHISHAMO

Smile Next to You / SHISHAMO Bass

It’s a sharp-tongued song about a boyfriend who’s uncool and not exactly someone to brag about or even really my type, yet I still absolutely want to be with him.

It’s a warm track that straightforwardly conveys the feelings of not needing anything fancy, not even needing to be happy—as long as I can be with you, that’s enough.

There’s no official MV, so the link is to a cover performance video.

This is one of SHISHAMO’s signature songs, expressing the beauty of friendship through melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply.

It portrays the strength of bonds that form even without shared hobbies, and the unchanging connection of hearts over time.

Released in March 2015, the song was included on the album “SHISHAMO 2.” With SHISHAMO’s familiar, approachable sound and down-to-earth lyrics, it struck a chord with many listeners.

It’s a track you’ll want to share with a friend whose heart stays close even when you’re apart.

It might be nice to hum along together when you meet again after a while.
