A children's song becomes a tiny perfect thing, no plot to carry, no drama to justify itself, just a vocalist and an animator finding what lives in the space between the notes. Seiichi Hayashi draws strawberries and softness where most would feel obligated to add story. The song plays, the image breathes, and for ninety seconds you remember why you watched animated things in the first place.

Ichigo no Hanayome-san is a single-episode music video made for the song of the same name by Maro and Kuni Kawachi. The piece was featured on Minna no Uta, a program broadcast by NHK. Seiichi Hayashi handled the animation for the video.
