Nobody talks about this one. George Tokoro's three-minute CGI sprint is pure movement joy, the kind of thing that makes you remember why you loved animation before it had to mean anything. The character design is deliberately goofy, the pacing never stops, and it accomplishes more personality in a single song than most full shows manage across twelve episodes. If you've ever felt nostalgic for when NHK just made weird, beautiful things for the sake of it, this is exactly that. It's the kind of short that sticks with you longer than it has any right to.

Aruite Mikka! is a short CGI music video by George Tokoro, made for NHK's Minna no Uta program. It runs as a single comedic piece, pairing a lighthearted song with computer-animated visuals rather than telling a story across episodes.
