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 ↴
そんな私に君は 気付いているかな
もたもたしてたら取り返しつかなくなる
明日にはもう 私以外の誰かと
手を繋いでるかもしれないってのに
他の誰でもない 自分のために
勇気を出さなきゃ 変わらなきゃ変えられない
ねぇ、聞こえていますか? この声が
届いていますか? この気持ち
心の中で思ってるだけじゃ きっと 君に伝わらないね
自己満足じゃ終われない
だから今大きな声で叫ぶ
どこにいたってきっと 君に伝わる声で
「恋は焦らず」分かってますとも
でもきっと私慎重になりすぎて
君との距離 縮まないままかもね
「恋は焦らず」そんなこと もう言ってらんない
このフェンスの向こう側へ
飛び越えた先の君に ちゃんと言うから
君の笑う顔が好きで 君のその声が好きなの
心の中は君には見えないの 分かってる
だから 聞こえていますか? この声が
届いていますか? この気持ち
心の中で思ってるだけじゃ きっと 君に伝わらないね
自己満足じゃ終われない
だから今大きな声で叫ぶ
どこにいたってきっと 君に伝わる声で
The lyrics to SHISHAMO's song Nee describe the hesitation and fear that comes with confessing one's feelings to another person. The singer talks about how she is unable to say just two words to the person she likes and instead watches from afar, wondering if they even notice her. She realizes that if she continues to hesitate, she may miss her chance and someone else may take the person she likes. She recognizes that she needs to have courage in order to change and be able to tell the person how she feels. The chorus repeats the question "Nee, kikoeteimasu ka?" which means "Hey, can you hear me?" and emphasizes the need for the person she likes to understand her feelings.
The song also touches on the idea of not wanting to end up just satisfying oneself and wanting the other person to know how she truly feels. Towards the end of the lyrics, the singer expresses her love for the person and how she likes their smile and voice, but knows that they cannot see into her heart. She repeats the question from the chorus, asking if her voice and feelings can reach the person she likes.
Overall, the lyrics to Nee convey the uncertainty and anxiety that often come with confessing one's feelings, while also emphasizing the importance of having the courage to speak up and let the other person know how you feel.

"Love is patient," I understand that too, but I'm probably being too cautious and not getting any closer to you. I can't say "Love is patient" anymore. I'll say it properly to you on the other side of this fence I'll jump over
君の笑う顔が好きで 君のその声が好きなの
I love your smiling face and your voice
心の中は君には見えないの 分かってる
I know you can't see inside my heart
