A hole in the ground becomes a sanctuary. The song doesn't explain itself, and neither does the video, it just shows you children finding quiet joy in the smallest corners of the world. This is what comfort actually sounds like, not manufactured coziness, but the real thing that happens when a melody knows exactly where to land in your chest.

Bucket no Ana is a single-episode animated music video made for NHK's Minna no Uta program. It sets visuals to a song performed by Kazuo Kumakura together with the NHK Tokyo Children's Choir.
