A children's song wrapped in animation that feels less like instruction and more like a hug. Yoshiko Misumi animates something genuinely gentle, no narrative urgency, no character arcs to chase, just the exact warmth the song promises. This is what it looks like when a picture book writer and a child actress convince you that kindness doesn't need to be earned or explained.
A single animated music video accompanies the song "Kimi no Kimochi," performed by Satoshin, the stage name of the well known picture book author Shin Satou, together with the famous child actress Rina Hatakeyama, credited as Rina. The song was featured on NHK's Minna no Uta program, and the video was animated by Yoshiko Misumi. The track came out as a maxi single in the same month.
