A single song becomes a small world you didn't know you needed to enter. The animation moves at the speed of a lullaby, letting you breathe into the spaces between notes instead of rushing past them. This is the kind of thing you watch when you've had enough noise, when you want something that asks nothing of you except to listen.

Chiisana Uta is a single-episode music video made for the song of the same name, performed by lily, the stage name of Yuriko Ishida. The video appeared on NHK as part of its Minna no Uta program. As a music release, it is a brief standalone work built around one song rather than a story told over episodes.
