Nobody expects a children's music video to arrive as something real. Ijiwaru Tenki takes a simple song about difficult weather and builds a world where a kid learns that some storms pass, some don't, and either way you keep moving. The animation stays quiet and lets the music do the emotional work, which is exactly how it should be.

Ijiwaru Tenki is a one-episode music video made for the song of the same name by Babe. The piece appeared on Minna no Uta, a program on NHK.
