Nobody talks about this one. A lovesick hen becomes the entire apparatus of longing itself, and in three minutes Taniyama Hiroko's song turns something ridiculous into something that breaks your heart. The joke is never at the hen's expense. It's about what it costs to want something that will never want you back, delivered with the gentleness of a children's program that understands loneliness better than it has any right to.

A lovesick hen fixes her affections on someone nobody would expect in this single-episode music video. The piece sets her romantic longing to a song by Taniyama Hiroko, and it was featured on NHK's Minna no Uta. The result is a short, whimsical animated clip built around a poultry protagonist with a crush.
