Motohiro Hata – “Scenery” Music Video

The song “Fūkei” that played in the 2021 commercial “Together in Our 11th Year.” This track closes out the 2007 debut album “Contrast” and is a quintessential masterpiece packed with the early charms of Hata.

It’s a song whose warmth and vivid imagery evoke a feeling akin to his later smash hit “Himawari no Yakusoku.” Nostalgia, sentimentality, love, and hope.

Wrapped in that atmosphere, it paints everyday scenes as if capturing the beauty of each fleeting moment.

When you listen to “Fūkei,” irreplaceable moments will likely come to mind.

It’s a wonderful song whose careful, one-by-one tones and gentle ambiance slowly sink into you.
