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.

JTB Summer Travel Campaign: “Hawaii” Edition

SHISHAMO

This song was chosen as the theme for the JTB “Heart-Thumping Summer Trip” campaign commercial, the “Hawaii” version, featuring Nao Matsushita.

It’s a track by SHISHAMO, a three-piece all-girl band especially popular among women of the same generation.

Their songs are appealing for their realistic portrayals of girls in love, their pop sound, and their energetic, fast-paced feel.

This track perfectly matches Hawaii’s bright image—it’s a number that pairs beautifully with the summer sun and an active vibe.

OH! -Full Power is Refreshingly Happy!- ver.SHISHAMO

Their 9th single overall.

Many of you have probably heard the chorus being sung along, right? As the song for Lotte’s “Sō” commercial featuring Suzu Hirose alongside SHISHAMO, it wraps you in a refreshing feeling.

The lyrics give you the courage to not worry about how others see you and to cherish the present just as you are.

It’s liberating and incredibly uplifting!

It’s a song that portrays the ordinary days spent with someone special, expressing how one comes to feel small moments of happiness within them.

The light, buoyant band sound with a springy rhythm is striking, and the positive emotions come through clearly in the music.

A key point is that nothing particularly dramatic happens in the lyrics, which makes the small-scale events all the more relatable to everyone.

It’s a warm track that conveys a gentle hope for the future—the desire to cherish the small happenings of everyday life and move forward with them.

Things about usSHISHAMO

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.
