A single song about wind and dragonflies becomes an entire world the moment you stop looking for plot. The animation moves the way the music breathes, no wasted frames, no spectacle, just a hand reaching toward something just out of frame. This is what happens when someone decides a children's song deserves to be treated like a real story, and then actually means it.
Kaze Iro no Tonbo is a single-episode music video for Chie Hyou's song of the same title. The track aired as part of NHK's Minna no Uta, and Kouji Nanke provided the animation for the video.
