There's no plot here to speak of, just a song about transformation that moves through a kitchen like it's the only place that matters. BUMP OF CHICKEN built something that feels like watching someone realize they're capable of change, one small gesture at a time. The animation serves the music, not the other way around, which means every frame exists to let you hear what's happening.

A single music video made for BUMP OF CHICKEN's song Mahou no Ryouri: Kimi kara Kimi e, which aired on NHK's Minna no Uta program. The song is meant to lift young listeners up. It admits that dreaming is hard right after being scolded, and it tells children that letting themselves feel those emotions is an essential part of growing up.
