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.

エレファントカシマシ Lyrics

昔の友に言わせると俺は変わっちまったそうさ
人ゴミにからだを任せて流れに乗ってきたせいさ

人ゴミにのまれて流れに流れてく
自由なんて俺にゃ必要ないね

女とタバコと不自由をそう
とても大事にしてるそうだ

理屈のために理屈こねにこねてた

俺はいやらしい人さ

裁判所じゃ baby
俺のこと死刑さきっとそうさ
あー俺はなんて幸せな幸せな奴なんだ

君とどこが違うの
君と君とどこが違うの

昔の友に言わせると俺は変わっちまったそうだ

人ゴミに流されて
俺はやらしい人になった

裁判所じゃ baby
俺のこと死刑さきっとそうさ
あー俺はなんて幸せな幸せな奴なんだ
