While it sounds sleek and stylish, realizing it sings about a kind of unease that everyone feels makes it relatable.

The Kao Attack laundry detergent commercial features many popular actors, including Tori Matsuzaka, Masaki Suda, Kento Kaku, Shotaro Mamiya, and Yosuke Sugino.

It’s often seen on TV, and the song used in it has also drawn attention.

The track is by the male-female duo Humbert Humbert.

With its crisp acoustic accompaniment and the duo’s warm vocals, the song leaves a strong impression.

The title, “Onaji Hanashi” (The Same Story), and its lyrics depicting everyday life in a gentle, unassuming way are likely to have stuck with many viewers.

Fuyumi Sakamoto – I'm Falling in Love with You Again
I'm falling in love with you againSakamoto Fuyumi

This is the 37th single by enka singer Fuyumi Sakamoto, known for signature songs like “Yozakura Oshichi” and for releasing numerous cover albums.

It’s a cover of a song by the brother folk duo Billy BanBan, and is well known as the theme for the Oita barley shochu ‘iichiko’ TV commercials.

Compared to Billy BanBan’s arrangement, which feels ethereal and spacious, Sakamoto’s lustrous vocals give the song a fresh impression and new interpretation.

Also, because Billy BanBan’s version had been used in the commercials before Sakamoto was brought on, the song has become strongly associated with the ‘iichiko’ CM.
