Included on the album “Allergy no Tokkouyaku,” released in April 1996, the piece captures an everyday moment of baking bread for a loved one.

The simple feeling of “If I love you, I can’t help it,” conveyed by the image of kneading dough with a face dusted white with flour, gently wraps around the listener’s heart.

A staple track with recordings on several live albums, it’s said to really heat up in concert with tongue-twister call-and-response between Yamazaki and the audience.
