About this sound

This 1.7-second voice clip is a formal Japanese announcer saying the name Kobayashi Seiyaku in a crisp, clipped delivery that ends abruptly. It feels dry, surprising and faintly absurd, like a straight-faced sponsor announcement dropped into the middle of a joke. The line comes from television commercials for Kobayashi Pharmaceutical in Japan.

Use it when a reveal is oddly specific to give the moment a deadpan commercial cutaway.
