SHISHAMO, a band that consists of three girls who graduated from high school last March, has released their long-awaited debut album “SHISHAMO”!

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 school, 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. While many bands with “Sakana (fish)” names are gaining popularity, “SHISHAMO” is the next one to watch!

It took me a few listens but now I really like them. Kinda like a mix between Chatmonchy and GO!GO!7188. They sound fresh and their vocal melodies are sweet.

lol, when I first heard them I hated Asakos's voice so friggin' bad (I usually annoyed by how j-girl bands sounds, I hated Tomo's voice when i first heard it, too! [but I love it now (well, most of the time)]) + because of the vocals they sounded boring to me (I usually listen to ...um "more dynamic" and way much more "heavier" music (lol?, like coldrain, MTH or Ling Tosite Sigure, a few screaming lines here and there would do the justice, lol) but they actually grow on me (just wrote an [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] about them at the huwikipedia+add them and their albums to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (my Scandal addiction started similarly...))

Anyway, thx d3nise for introducing them!  .hail.

(does anybody know who do the illustration on their website/album covers? Yoshikawa, maybe?)

(btw, according to the jawiki (albeit without any source) Miyazaki, Matsumoto and two unnamed student formed the band while they're attending Kawasaki City High School for Science and Technology. Yoshikawa joined later, when the two unnamed student leaved the band. Yoshikawa's sister named the band, she thought that the word Shishamo written in kanjis (柳葉魚) look cool, while written in hiraganas (ししゃも) look cute. They changed their name from 柳葉魚 to SHISHAMO after they performed at Teens Rock in Hitachinaka 2012, where they won the "outstanding performance" and the "best vocal prize", but they lose the grand prize(=first prize?) to Sasakue Shōjo (ササクレ少女; Hangnail Girl)!)

Yup, they changed the bassist Aya (Matsumoto) to a new and younger uhm...Aya (Matsuoka). lol
It's due to the Aya's decision when they were still starting the band. She said she'll quit SHISHAMO when she'll turn 20. It wasn't really a surprise for the two but yeah, like they said, some fans were quite shocked. 

[UPDATED THE INFO ABOVE]

According to the Japanese Wikipedia Miyazaki's sister came up with the name, which she thinks looks "awesome" written in kanjis (柳葉魚) and cute written in hiraganas (ししゃも).

Last Year the three girlbands Scandal, Silent Siren and Shishamo have been in japanese album charts in top 10 simultaneously. The three grand S I think.


Shishamo is good and very sympathic but a little bit too calm for me.
