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 3

大事なものを無くした
好きな人に振られた

嫌いな奴が幸せそう
どれもこれも、死にやしないけど
辛い出来事だったの

助けてくれる人なんて支えてくれる人なんて
いるはず無いよね
私は私だけのものだもの

だから今日も鏡に向かって笑う
がんばってる私を私しか知らなくても
ごねてる暇はないな
今日も鏡に向かって笑う
大丈夫ってつぶやく

人の心を動かすのは難しい
私の意見は通らなかった
彼に好きになってもらえなかった
私の世界は変わらない
このままこのまま

眠ってリセットした気になって
それでも涙は溜まっていく

そして今日も鏡に向かって笑う
本当は誰かに大丈夫って言ってほしいけど
誰も見てないだろうから
鏡に向かって今日も大丈夫ってつぶやく

だから今日も鏡に向かって笑う
がんばってる私を私しか知らなくても
ごねてる暇はないな
今日も鏡に向かって笑う

大丈夫ってつぶやく
大丈夫ってつぶやく
