Asako Miyazaki (Gt&Vo), Aya Matsumoto (Ba) and Misaki Yoshikawa (Dr) formed the 3-piece band “SHISHAMO” when they were in high school rock band club in Kawasaki. They started writing songs when they were sophomores in high school. During their senior year of high shool, they won the first prize and the best vocal prize at the concert that they decided to get involved to test their musical skills.
During their high school days, the three girls got to release a self-produced CD, went on a national tour, and hosted a radio show “All Night Nippon R”, experiencing many things that normal high school students don’t get to do. After receiving a moderate amount of attention among core audiences in various parts of Japan, “SHISHAMO” finally made their national debut!
Right after they graduated from high school in March, “SHISHAMO” locked themselves in a recording studio for 3 months to create their new self-titled album. The new album titled “SHISHAMO” comes with a blast of 11 songs that are filled with various emotions, haunting melodies, catchy lyrics and relatable hooks.
Bassist Aya Matsumoto left the band in 2014, Aya Matsuoka becoming the band's new bassist.

SHISHAMO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
まだ分からないことだらけだから
不安が僕を占めてしまう
時々ダメになってしまう
月火水木金 働いた
ダメでも 毎日頑張るしかなくて
だけど金曜日が終われば
おおお ダメだ もうダメだ 立ち上がれない
そんな自分変えたくて 今日も行く
良いことばかりじゃないからさ
痛くて泣きたい時もある
そんな時にいつも
誰よりも早く
立ち上がるヒーローに会いたくて
痛いけど走った 苦しいけど走った
報われるかなんて 分からないけど
とりあえずまだ 僕は折れない
ヒーローに自分重ねて
明日も
月火水木金 学校へ
友達の話題についていくのは本当は
私にとっては大変で
私が本当に好きなのは
昨日のテレビじゃない
月火水木金 学校へ
本当は渋谷も原宿も分からない
だけど金曜日が終われば
大丈夫週末は私のヒーローに会いに行く
おおお ダメだ もうダメだ 涙も拭けない
そんな自分変えたくて 今日も行く
ちっぽけなことで悩んでる
周りの人は笑うけど
笑いもせず ただ 見せてくれる
走り方 ヒーローが教えてくれる
痛いけど走った 苦しいけど走った
明日が変わるかは 分からないけど
とりあえずまだ 私は折れない
ヒーローに自分重ねて
明日も
良いことばかりじゃないからさ
痛くて泣きたい時もある
そんな時にいつも
誰よりも早く
立ち上がるヒーローに会いたくて
痛いけど走った 苦しいけど走った
報われるかなんて 分からないけど
とりあえずまだ 僕は折れない
ヒーローに自分重ねて
明日も
仕事も 恋も 勉強も
一つも手抜きはできないな
明日の自分のためだと思えば良い
泣くのは別に悪いことじゃない
昨日の自分を褒めながら
今日をひたすらに走ればいい
走り方はまた教えてくれる
ヒーローに自分重ねて
明日も
The song 明日も (Ashita mo), which translates to "Tomorrow Too," is a tribute to the unsung heroes who inspire us to keep pushing forward despite all the hardships we face. The song is a reminder that life is not always easy, and sometimes we feel lost and overwhelmed, but there is always a hero we can look up to who inspires us to keep going. The opening lines of the song, "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, I worked, there's still so much I don't understand, so I get consumed by anxiety and sometimes feel like giving up," sets the tone for the message of the song.
The lyrics also talk about how the singer faces her own struggles, going to school every day and trying to keep up with her friends or fit in, but realizing that what she loves most is not what everyone else does. Despite feeling small and insignificant, she finds comfort in knowing that there is a hero out there who can teach her how to run, even if it hurts or is difficult. The chorus repeats the lines "It hurts but I ran, it's difficult but I ran, not sure if tomorrow will be different, but for now, I won't break, I'll stack myself on top of my hero and face tomorrow."
Overall, the song is a powerful message of hope and resilience, reminding us that no matter how hard things get, we can always find inspiration in the people around us who have faced similar struggles and persevered.

走り方はまた教えてくれる
The hero will teach me how to run again
ヒーローに自分重ねて
I see myself in the hero
