Released the same year the commercial aired, this track expresses gratitude to a cherished person for helping the singer discover her own sense of worth.
Its lyrics are compelling, offering gentle encouragement when you’re caught in self-loathing—when you think, “I’m no good,” they whisper, “That’s not true, let’s take it slow.” When you feel stuck and can’t move forward, lend an ear to this song.
His SugarNEW!Toshinobu Kubota

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.
