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.
Members:
浅井健一 (Asai Kenichi) – Vocal, guitar
福士久美子 (Fucci Qumico) – Keyboard, chorus

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
先生が僕に聞いた
おまえの夢は何かと
Faye Dunaway,vietnam boy,
chicken dance,Midnight Cowboy
夢はできたての
ホットロッドであいつ迎えにゆく
夢は壮絶な最期を
High School
先生が僕に聞いたおまえの未来は
High School,Mary Poppins,
Skunky,It's a Piglet
夢はできたての
ホットロッドであいつ迎えにゆく
夢はできたての
ホットロッドであいつ迎えにゆく
High School Teacher High School
High School High School
High School...
夢はできたての
ホットロッドであいつ迎えにゆく
夢は壮絶な最期を
遂げることじゃない
夢は微笑んだままで遂げること
夢は...Ah 夢は...
The song "High School" by Japanese band Sherbets reflects on the common experience of attending high school and the dreams and aspirations that come with it. The lyrics are filled with references to popular culture and media, reflecting the nostalgic memories of the era in which the song was written. The first verse speaks to a conversation between a teacher and a student about their dreams, with various cultural references like Faye Dunaway and Vietnam Boy. The second verse lists more references like Mary Poppins and Skunky, but ultimately the lyrics return to the dream of driving a hot rod to meet someone.
Overall, the song seems to capture the feeling of being young and having limitless dreams and possibilities ahead. The references to popular culture serve as a reminder of the time period in which the song was written, adding to its nostalgic and reflective tone. The dream of driving a hot rod to meet someone also feels emblematic of the freedom and opportunity that youth represents, as well as the desire to live life on one's own terms.

フェス級のどでかいステージに、
ベンジーとトキエ姉さんと、ギター弾けもしないズブ素人の自分の3人で立ってて、
大観衆の前で
即興でライブやるっつー
ホラー級の夢みた。
案の定、自分だけ全然ギター弾けなくて、ぶっ倒れそうになる夢。
を、思い出しただけの話。
@user-yn7ch7rl5n

小3のころ担任がアイシャドウ

このゾクゾクするようなエンジン音とサーキット音、躍動するような生き物が初期です。

BLANKEY時代のソロワークプロジェクトから立ち上がったSHERBETから、BLANKEY解散後SHERBETSになっての初のシングル。ロック色を極限に削いだ（アルバム、セキララのボーナストラックのメタリックブルー除く）SHERBETから一変、このパンク色の強いHigh Schoolを聴いて正直ホッとした自分が居た。
