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’s iconic and popular songs (21–30)

tropical nightSHISHAMO

This song portrays the restless feeling of wanting to see your lover on a hot summer night when you can’t sleep.

It captures a cute, relatable kind of love—feeling happy that your partner will come see you anytime, while also worrying they might eventually get bored.

The whole track has a subtly sensual vibe that suits summer nights.

Be sure to check out the music video, which depicts each member’s own sleepless night.

SHISHAMO “Mass-Produced Boyfriend”
Mass-produced boyfriendSHISHAMO

This is the first song featuring our current bassist, Matsuoka.

It portrays a boy who laments that the girl he has a crush on got a boyfriend—one of those generic, “mass-produced” types—and grumbles about it.

Many listeners will likely relate to his inability to give up and his mopey, lingering feelings.

Also, when we perform this song live, the screen shows a collaboration of live footage arranged similarly to the music video, so it’s a must-see for anyone coming to the show.

Stomp your bootsSHISHAMO

Have you ever felt a sudden yearning for someone in the clear winter air? This ballad by SHISHAMO is a song that gently stays by your side through those helpless winter feelings of love.

You want to see the one you like but can’t be honest about it—those frustrating emotions are rendered dramatically by the beautiful tones of the strings.

Released in December 2021 as the title track of a winter-themed concept project and later included on the album SHISHAMO 7, the piece reflects the deepening of their artistic expression.

If you listen on a night when your chilled hands make you hesitate to reach out, Asako Miyazaki’s emotionally rich vocals will surely give courage to your frozen heart.

It might just give you that gentle push you need to take one more step.

SHISHAMO beams with full smiles, enjoying ice cream with zero regrets! New ZERO Ice web commercial “Zero, yet totally a yes.” now released

This is an introduction commercial for ZERO Ice, which contains no sugar or sweeteners, so you can enjoy it without worry even while on a diet.

The ad shows people eating ice cream whenever they want without holding back, and the members of SHISHAMO are also shown eating ZERO Ice with smiles.

The CM song features their 2021 release “Kimi no Me mo Hana mo Kuchi mo Ago mo Mayu mo Netemo Sametemo Chou Suteki!!!” whose bright, up-tempo sound further enhances the ad’s friendly vibe.

As the title suggests, the lyrics express straightforward feelings for someone you like, making it a song we highly recommend to anyone in love.

One thing I want to ask youSHISHAMO

This song has a relaxed groove that’s easy to catch, and I’ve heard the average karaoke score is in the low-to-mid 90s, so I think it’s a song where it’s relatively easy to score well! In the first verse, there are spots where the pitch jumps higher—don’t hesitate, project your voice clearly into the mic.

The chorus has a unique rhythm, so be precise: make clean cuts where needed and keep the timing accurate instead of letting it all flow together.

Also, adding clear dynamics throughout the song boosts your expressiveness score, which can really raise your overall points.

Try focusing on each point one by one and give it a shot!

My UniverseSHISHAMO

Let me introduce “My Universe,” a song that reminds us of the beauty in our ordinary, everyday lives.

This track was written by the rock band SHISHAMO as the opening theme for the drama “My Niece Mei.” Its lyrics are inspired by the show’s protagonist, capturing a hopeful will to live, inner strength, and a pure heart.

I think its gentle message will resonate with anyone.

The buoyant guitar sound is another highlight that lifts the listener’s spirits.

maximum speedSHISHAMO

Set to a fast-paced, exhilarating rock sound, this song carries a powerful message about believing in yourself and charging forward.

Released in January 2024, it was also chosen as the tie-in song for the BOAT RACE 2024 commercial series.

Written and composed by Asako Miyazaki, it’s packed with SHISHAMO’s signature style.

It’s a cheer song that gives a push to everyone who keeps running at full speed every day.

The lyric “Wear the clothes you truly want to wear” inspires the courage to value your true self and keep looking ahead.
