Compared to BLANKEY JET CITY’s often aggressive rock sound, SHERBETS musical approach is generally of much calmer nature. While their music is centered around Asai’s guitar and voice, Fucci’s keyboard and backing vocals are just as integral to the band’s distinctive sound. Asai writes all of the band’s lyrics, and often portrays dreamy landscapes akin to the ones displayed by his many paintings and illustrations.
In May 2011, it was announced that the band would cease activities after the release of one final album – titled "FREE" – in July of the same year. In the announcement, Asai stated that it was dubious that the four members would perform together in the future. A few days later, another announcement made it clear that the band members had changed their minds, and decided not to disband after all. An interview later revealed that there had been tension within the band related to Asai's decision to focus on his garage rock project PONTIACS.

SHERBETS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
素直なその気持ちを
その人に伝える
それがこの世界へ
生まれ落ちた理由だから
戸惑いながら
話す言葉は
何を恐れて
いるのだろう
柔らかな風が吹いてる
想い出は雪だから
透き通った水へ帰っていくだけ
いつの日にかみんなどこかへ
消えてしまう気がする
伝えなくちゃ
素直なその気持ちを今すぐ
その人に
想い出は雪だから
透き通った水へ帰っていくだけ
いつの日にかみんなどこかへ
消えてしまう気がする
伝えなくちゃ
素直なその気持ちを今すぐ
いつの日にかみんなどこかへ
消えてしまう気がする
伝えなくちゃ
素直なその気持ちを
The lyrics of this song by SHERBETS titled "Mizu" (Water) are about expressing one's feelings honestly and directly to the person they love. The opening verse encourages people to communicate their emotions with sincerity, as it is the reason we are born into this world. The second verse acknowledges that speaking one's mind can be confusing and difficult, but no matter what, honesty is more important than anything else. The prevailing message is that one should not be afraid of expressing their true feelings to others, even if it may lead to heartbreak or disappointment.
The chorus explores the ephemeral nature of memories and love, using water as a metaphor that represents the fleeting nature of our existence. The line "souvenir wa yuki dakara" (memories are like snowflakes) implies that memories are beautiful but fragile, like snowflakes that will eventually melt and disappear. The song urges people to express their love while they can, before it is too late, as we all eventually disappear into the vastness of the world.
Overall, this song speaks to the importance of honesty and expressing one's emotions, while acknowledging the transience of life and love. It is a touching ballad that encourages listeners to seize the moment and live without regret.

日本にはこういう優れた曲が無数にあるのに、一般の人には全く伝わらない。
だがちゃんと曲を聴いた人なら解るはずだ。
