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.

石橋たたいて八十年
エレファントカシマシ Lyrics

ああ輝く光あれは夢か幻か
ああ石橋たたけそれで八十年
ああ教えてくれよ
優しさのその秘密を
ああ石橋たたけそれで八十年
金を集めて
金を集めて八十、八十年八十年
それで八十年
喜びもどうかすれば刺激さ
悲しみもどうかすれば刺激さああ

ああこの道一筋
この道一筋八十、八十年八十年
それで八十年

自由にやろうぜ
[ニューヨーク～]
のびのびやろう
[北京～ソウル～]
[ウランバートル～ピョンヤン～
ヨーロッパ各都市～]
石橋たたいて八十年
[キャンベラ～]
八十年
[大阪～名古屋～札幌～]
石橋たたいて八十年
[東京～TOKIO!!]

ほらほら
どうかすれば神様の思うつぼ
喜びもどうかすれば刺激さ
悲しみもどうかすれば刺激さああ
ああ輝く光あれは夢か幻か
ああ石橋たたけそれで八十年
