A woman's voice cuts through rotoscoped decay like she's singing from inside a fever dream. Tanaami doesn't animate a story here, he animates the texture of a song, every frame warping and dissolving the way Maki Asakawa's voice already does. You watch it once and the image stays burned in your vision like it was always supposed to be there. This is what happens when a visual artist stops trying to illustrate music and just lets the song become the image. Five minutes long. That's all it takes.

A short film directed by Keiichi Tanaami and set to Maki Asakawa's song "Fushiawase to Iu Na no Neko." The music sits at the center of the piece, and the listing files it under both music and psychological. Viewers curious about pairings of animation and song will find a compact example here, built around a single track.
