You don't need a story to feel something. A single song, shadow puppets moving through summer light, and suddenly you're remembering a specific afternoon you thought you'd forgotten. The Kageboushi Theater Company understands that warmth doesn't need to be complicated, it just needs to be honest. Five minutes that sit with you longer than shows ten times its length.

Natsu Koibana is a single-episode music video set to the song of the same name, sung by the Japanese choral group Kira. The piece aired as part of NHK's Minna no Uta, and its visuals were produced by the Kageboushi Theater Company.
