Nobody talks about this one. A single song about water and tears becomes a meditation on impermanence the moment it starts moving. Kouji Nanke's animation treats the subject like it deserves reverence, not sentimentality. The whole thing is over in minutes, but it sits with you because it refused to be anything more than necessary. This is what happens when a real artist gets four minutes and nothing to prove.

A short music video set to a song by Hiromi Oota about water and tears. Kouji Nanke handled the animation, and the piece was featured on NHK's Minna no Uta. The whole release is a single episode built around that one song.
