エレファントカシマシ (The Elephant Kashimashi aka "Ele-kashi") is a Japanese Alternative rock band, originally formed in Tokyo by Miyamoto, Ishimori and Tominaga when they were in junior high school (1981). Takamidori, who was Tominaga's friend in his high school, joined the band in 1986.

Their work can be divided into two major stylistic periods: the "Epic Sony years" (1988-1994, the albums Elephant Kashimashi through Tokyo No Sora) and the "Pony Canyon & Faithful, EMI Music, Universal Music years" (1996-present, the album Kokoro Ni Hana Wo onward). A major change in songwriting, production, and general playing style (especially Miyamoto's vocals) occurred along with this label switch.

うれしけりゃとんでゆけよ
エレファントカシマシ Lyrics

帰り着いたら寝転んで終わりなんだよ
さらば今日の日よ満足してるぜ
平和なんだよ近頃いつもどおりさ
明日もあさっても満足してるぜ

Oh ぶちのめせ世間の渦したたかに笑いとばそう
涙ならひとり流せうれしけりゃとんでゆけよ ah, ah, ah

思いどおりさ全てがこれでおしまい
さらば今日の日よ満足してるぜ

散らかった部屋の中におまえからのメッセージ
しなやかに愛を語ろううれしけりゃとんでゆけよ

ぶちのめせ世間の渦したたかに笑いとばそう
涙ならひとり流せうれしけりゃとんでゆけよ ah, ah, ah

ため息の向こうには何かがある
転がっているのさそこら中にそんなものさ oh yeah
