Nanahira's voice sits in your chest like something warm while the animation moves around it, every frame built to match the beat, nothing wasted. This is what happens when a song and its visuals trust each other completely. One minute of pure comfort that exists only to make you feel good on Pokémon Day, and somehow that's enough.

Nanahira performs the song behind this short animated music video, made to mark Pokémon Day 2024, which falls on February 27th. Pokémon partners from years past come together to dance, and nine different animators share the drawing duties. Viewers are invited to join in and dance along. The result is a one-episode celebration of the franchise set to music, built around movement and play rather than a story.
