Nobody talks about this one. A children's song video so gentle it almost disappears, built entirely on Mieko Hirota's voice and the kind of melody that lodges in your brain for decades. The animation matches the song beat for beat, never rushing, never trying to impress, just perfectly fitted to every phrase. Lost media has a weight to it that new things don't, and this one earns that weight by being exactly what it needed to be and nothing more.

Mieko Hirota's "Davy Crockett no Uta" is a single-episode music video made for her song of that name. It aired as part of Minna no Uta, a program on the Japanese broadcaster NHK. Today the video is regarded as lost media.
