Kahimi Karie’s Third Mini Album, Featuring Songs from Commercials, Television, and a Lasting Legacy

Released on the Trattoria label in 1996, this third mini album further expanded Kahimi Karie’s musical world through a collaborative production effort with Keigo Oyamada. The album features contributions from international artists such as Momus and Katerine, resulting in a rich and eclectic collection of songs that broadened her distinctive pop aesthetic.

Among its highlights are “LE ROI SOLEIL”, featured in a Morinaga Hi-Chew commercial, and “Humming ga Kikoeru”, which served as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime series Chibi Maruko-chan. The latter continues to find new audiences through YouTube and cover versions, remaining one of Kahimi Karie’s most enduring and beloved recordings.

Filled with the free-spirited charm and inventive pop sensibility that helped bring Kahimi Karie to a wider audience through television and advertising, this album stands as a defining work of her mid-1990s career.
