SHISHAMO Drops Two New Songs On Their YouTube This May

Three-member rock band SHISHAMO dropped two brand new songs on their official YouTube channel. The first of the new songs is “Ashita wanai” which is already out and posted below. In the video for this track is a drawing of the band playing along on a crumpled piece of paper and a dialogue box that features the lyrics as they are sung. The second song won’t drop until May 26 but it will be titled “Mōsō samā”, which is actually a song from 2017, but it was only released in a small version then; this time it will be the complete version. It is described as “a humorous love song that makes you fantasize about a date with a lover you haven’t seen yet.” If you are excited for this second song then be sure to subscribe to their official YouTube page so you can catch it as soon as it drops.

SHISHAMO shows that sixth time's the charm with new album!

After a long hiatus of album releases, three-member rock group SHISHAMO announced a brand new album, SHISHAMO 6, scheduled for January 29, 2020. This is the latest, long-awaited album release from the group since SHISHAMO 5 back in June of 2018.

Set for release with thirteen tracks total, SHISHAMO 6 is currently known to be released through only a CD-only standard edition. Included on the album is popular track “君の隣にいたいから” (“Kimi no Tonarini Itaikara”) which, as previously reported, is set to become the title song for this year’s NHK All-Japan School Choir Competition for the middle school division, a feat only some artists manage to achieve. Future tracks will be announced at a later time so please look forward to any future updates.

Check out the music video for their latest track “君の大事にしてるもの” (“Kimi no Daiji ni Shiterumono”) along with the pre-order link for SHISHAMO 6 below!

SHISHAMO proves that love will be by their side with new music video!

Popular three-member rock band SHISHAMO dropped the music video for their upcoming track “君の隣にいたいから”  (“Kimi no Tonari ni Itaikara”) on their official YouTube channel. Dropping October 16, the track is already making waves as it was chosen to be this year’s title song for the NHK All-Japan School Choir Competition for the middle school division, a feat only some artists achieve. The video features the gripping theme of “loving time” which director Kyotaro Hayashi brilliantly exhibits with three generations of couples as they go through their everyday life with images of all three band members spliced in every so often. This drama-like approach serves as an example of a nice evolution of their music videos; compare it to the video for their track “私の夜明け” (“Watashi no Yoake”), which Hayashi also produced.

Per the norm of previous single releases from SHISHAMO, “Kimi no Tonari ni Itakara” will only feature a CD-only standard release and will include just three tracks. Check out the music video in question along with the pre-order link for “Kimi no Tonari ni Itakara” below!

SHISHAMO to kick off anniversary with a bang!

​Ahead of the release of their upcoming single “OH!”, three-member pop rock girl band SHISHAMO announced today that they will be releasing their first Best Of album. Simply titled SHISHAMO BEST and set for release June 19, the album will be used to kick off the group’s fifth year anniversary in the music industry and all of their A-side singles from “君と夏フェス” (“Kimi to Natsu Fes”) to their latest upcoming single “OH!” will be included on the album, totaling out the track list to thirteen songs.

SHISHAMO BEST will be released with two editions: a standard CD-only edition and a limited edition which will not only include the CD but a bonus fourteenth track, a small photo book, and a long towel which was designed by lead guitarist and vocalist Asako Miyazaki herself.
