SHISHAMO is a three-member Japanese indie girl rock band. The group formed in 2010, when they were freshmen at 川崎総合科学高等学校 (Kawasaki City High School for Science and Technology), and consisted of childhood friends MIYAZAKI Asako and MATSUMOTO Aya, along with two male classmates. They originally wrote their name in kanji as 柳葉魚. However, later that year the other two classmates left and YOSHIKAWA Misaki joined, forming their current line-up. In 2012 they competed in TEENS ROCK IN HITACHINAKA 2012 and won an award of excellence and best vocalist. Later that year they switched to writing their name in roman letters, and released their first single, 宿題が終わらない [shukudai ga owaranai], which reached 7th on the Oricon Indies sales chart.

Great! I still have to get their album. Why'd Masako change her hair, I don't recognize her without the braids.
This band is awesome,「僕に彼女ができたんだ」is like crack to me right now, cant stop listening. This band is seriously going places
Finally bit the bullet and ordered their two albums! Need to save up points for when DK or Aimi or AIU releases something...
I like this one too haha. I mentioned it in chat earlier but they seem like a mix between Stereopony and Chatmonchy. I might join the bandwagon too.
SHISHAMO's bass player Matsumoto Aya is leaving SHISHAMO and being replaced with Matsuoka Aya. Matsumoto's exit has been a long time coming apparently as she said when they first formed the band she would only play until she became 20years old. There goes my favorite member T_T. They announced it in a YouTube post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZX9IC2GwqE
That's a shame did the vid say specifically why or just say she wanted to leave at 20??? On the bright side they have a new single out soon!
Weird that they replaced one Aya with another. @dereko92 , @crimsonkinght4, could you guys elaborate on why she was your favorite? Her personality,looks, bass playing? On the one hand, the girls knew this would happen, and could prepare accordingly, and although it's not as bad as say, Asako leaving, it's still a loss. Do we know which Aya will be on their new single?
