Lyrics
Personalize this songWhere the name comes from
Himari is most often written with kanji for 'sun' and a flower in the sunflower/hollyhock family - a popular modern Japanese name evoking a bloom that turns to follow the sun, though as with many Japanese names the same reading can be written with different kanji.
Why this moment matters
A hot summer night, a fan, and the sound of cicadas fading out is such a specific, universal memory of childhood sleep.
The story behind this song
A hot night with the window open, the cicadas going quiet one by one, and the fan turning slowly overhead as she sleeps.
A bedtime song with a name in it
A slow lullaby built around one child's name: a good night song for bedtime, nap time and the last song of the day.
