“Iwashita Keisuke Sardine” released the new music Album “50/50 & other rare tracks”

“Iwashita Keisuke Sardine” just dropped the new and hot Album “50/50 & other rare tracks”. It will contain the songs 'Sunday Driver', 'Transfer Student', 'Emily', 'Diving', 'Who is in the ocean', '24 Blues', 'Maybe the first time', 'Awakening from a dream', 'Transfer Student (Live rehearsal)' and 'Wait at Z bridge (Live rehearsal)' total of 12songs. Enjoy the R&B/Soul sound from the far east Asia.

"50 / 50," an 8-song collection produced by Sardine in 1989, is a collection of eight songs that fully demonstrates Iwashita's skills as a piano player. The title "Fifty-Fifty" means that the vocals and piano are equal, but the thick chorus created by solo overdubbing is also a distinctive feature. For this release, four songs have been added: one instrumental that my presented in a composition lecture while I was a student at a music college, two live rehearsals, and one early version of "Awaken from a Dream." The 2025 version has been corrected to make it easier to listen to, as it had some harsh noise and level variations in the 2024 version when it was first released. I hope you enjoy it.

You can find and check the “50/50 & other rare tracks” at 'Apple Music', 'Spotify', 'LINE MUSIC', 'iTunes Store', 'Amazon Music Unlimited' etc. Click here to see. 50/50 & other rare tracks

Iwashita Keisuke Sardine

My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 20 years from 1983 to 2003, I have recorded about 200 songs by myself. I compiled these into eight albums and released them one by one in 2024. In 2025, instead of an anthology, I will release an album edited in chronological order. Sardine's music is diverse. It ranges from accessible pop to socially conscious message songs, from progressive constructions to punk subversiveness. I'm a formidable pianist, a mad synthesizer player, a halting guitarist, a tone-reading bassist, a loose percussionist, and a clumsy singer-songwriter with solo multi-choruses. All of these parts are integrated into one persona. A mixture of romance, cold-heartedness and passion, depicting incoherent anxiety and yearning for something unattainable, this is an oldie but an evergreen. Please listen to Sardine's expressive music.
