On your sideHanbaato Hanbaato
In Panasonic’s new commercial for IoT home appliances, the presence of appliances that gently accompany everyday life is portrayed.
From the hectic bustle of the kitchen in the morning to the warm lights that greet you when you return home, these appliances watch over your life even on busy days.
Flowing alongside those moments is Humbert Humbert’s “Kimi no Mikata.” The simple, warm vocals and the slightly nostalgic melody overlap with the sense of reassurance these appliances provide, gently warming the heart.
The visuals and music tenderly embrace the small moments of happiness and peace of mind found in daily life.
The demon has come.Hanbaato Hanbaato
Songs themed around Setsubun aren’t something we usually come across, are they? This piece is “Oni ga Kita” (“The Demons Have Come”), which I’d love people searching for a Setsubun song to hear.
It’s sung by the male–female duo Humbert Humbert.
In contrast to the gentle melody and warm vocals, the profound lyrics about the “evil” in the human heart really hit home.
It’s pleasant to listen to, so I think the whole family can enjoy it.
On the occasion of Setsubun, give this song a listen and drive out the demons that live in your own heart.

The poetic lyrics, which overlay memories of a past love with a beautiful sunset, are particularly striking.
Produced to celebrate their 20th anniversary, the album also features re-recordings of popular songs and cover tracks.
Wrapped in the warm vocals of Sato and Sano, why not sink into that bittersweet twilight mood yourself? It’s perfect for the drive home or as background music after work.
