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.

SHISHAMO, who have performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen and were entrusted with composing the required piece for the NHK National School Music Competition, are broadening their scope of activities.

The vocals of Miyazaki, who is also the frontwoman, are charmingly feminine—matching her looks—but when fused with rock, they immediately overwhelm you with their world.

The three-piece rock band SHISHAMO has been winning empathy with lyrics that depict delicate, uniquely female psychology in down-to-earth words.

This track, included on their 7th album “SHISHAMO 7,” sticks in your ears with its catchy bassline and breezy guitar sound.

The lyrics, themed around a drive date that plays out vividly before your eyes, seem perfect as BGM for teens who’ve just gotten their licenses.

It’s a refreshing number whose cute melody will lift your spirits.

Favorite BoySHISHAMO

SHISHAMO is a three-piece all-girl band whose name was chosen because “it sounds cute when spoken, but looks cool in kanji.” Their song Favorite Boy, included on their sixth album SHISHAMO 6, features an arrangement that evokes a certain nostalgic pop feel.

The lyrics, overflowing with love for someone special, are sure to liven up a karaoke date for couples.

Even if you’re not a couple, it’s a straightforward love song with vivid scenes that we’d love women to sing when they can’t quite express their feelings to the guy they like.

Because I want to be by your side.SHISHAMO

This song was specially written as the set piece for the NHK All-Japan School Music Competition.

It’s a work by SHISHAMO, a three-piece girls’ band from Kanagawa, released as a single in 2019.

It’s a message song that says, “I am who I am now because I have someone important to me.” The youthful lyrics and sound are refreshing.

Be sure to listen to it together with your best friend or your partner.
