The lyrics are also worth some attention, providing Shishido's rambunctious take on the quintessentially Japanese weariness for the daily grind of office work. It's bouncy, raucous, and in-your-face, and the chorus is dangerously liable to take up permanent residence in listeners' ears. Miss Me, is much more in-line with what is expected from a skilled drummer like Shishido. Though there aren't many surprises here, it's certainly not bad or boring, and will undoubtedly strike a chord with listeners in a particular mood. Though capably performed, the song is not as "wild" as one would expect someone marketed as "THE DRUM'N'GIRL" to sound. This will strike many as an odd choice, in that it places more emphasis on Shishido's singing than her heavily-touted drumming prowess. The single begins with Wagamama, a well-composed but somewhat subdued ballad track. An unusual combination of drummer and vocalist, Shishido made a strong enough impression to earn several modeling opportunities, radio shows, and a starring role in a commercial for Pretz.


Upon returning to Japan, Shishido worked with all-female band The News, as well as another group called Eddy12, before making her solo debut in May 2012. Miss Me, provides some insight as to what exactly this model/drummer/vocalist hybrid has to offer that resonates so strongly with listeners.īorn in Mexico, Shishido later moved to Argentina and took up the drums, learning the basics from the grandson of Tango Nuevo musician Astor Piazzolla. She has already landed a theme song to a drama and a variety of music show and rock festival appearances, so it's apparent that she won't be disappearing any time soon. Despite having made her solo debut about a year and a half ago, Kavka Shishido has managed to leave quite an impression.
