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 ↴
抜け出せない朝の5分間を抜けて
キッチンに立てばもう今日が始まる
どこかに行こう 何かしよう
王子様が連れ出してくれる
わけじゃないから
誰にも言ったことのない
私の秘密の約束事
それはとても難しいことだけど
自分をもっと好きになれる
おまじない
今週も 私きっと輝けた
だから今日も 思い切り笑おう
自分にお疲れ様言いたい時は
綺麗な靴を買おう
これは小さい頃
お母さんに教えてもらったこと
どこかに行けば 何かすれば
全てが全て
うまくいってくれるとは限らない
そんなこと100も承知で
止まるよりマシだ ただそれだけ
大切なのは
ありがとうを大きな声で言うこと
ごめんなさいを早めに言うこと
自分をもっと好きになれる
おまじない
簡単そうで難しい
「誰よりも笑顔でいること」
それはとても難しいことだけど
自分をもっと好きになれる
おまじない
今週も 私きっと輝けた
あとはずっと輝き続けるだけ
The song "Egao No Tonari" by SHISHAMO is a beautiful and uplifting tune that celebrates the simple joys of life. The lyrics describe the feeling of waking up in the morning and getting ready to face the day with a smile. The singer talks about her own personal mantra of trying to be the happiest person she can be, even if it's difficult. She mentions a small ritual that she follows to help her achieve this goal - a secret promise she's made to herself to try and be the person with the biggest smile for the next week. She acknowledges that it's not an easy task, but it's a way for her to appreciate herself more.
The song encourages listeners to take risks and try new things, even if they're scared of failure. The singer says that if she's feeling down, she'll buy a new pair of shoes to cheer herself up. She acknowledges that life isn't always perfect and that sometimes things don't go as planned, but it's important to keep moving forward and to appreciate the little things in life. She stresses the importance of saying "thank you" and "I'm sorry" as a way of showing gratitude and humility. Finally, the song ends with a message of hope - that by continuing to shine brightly, we can make the world a little brighter too.
