Toshinobu Kubota – His Sugar

This is a song that was featured in Pantene commercials from 2000 to 2001.

It’s a track from the 2000 album “As One,” and it’s a quintessential Toshinobu Kubota piece—mellow and sophisticated, leaving a strong impression.

The lyrics portray an aching, unfulfilled love.

That’s because the person the narrator has feelings for already has a partner.

They want that person to come to them, but they know it wouldn’t be allowed.

Many listeners may find themselves empathizing with such complex, heartrending emotions and feeling a tightness in their chest.
