A single song, five minutes, no plot to chase you down. Ikue Sakakibara's voice sits in your chest like something you already knew. This is what comfort actually sounds like when someone stops trying to earn it and just hands it to you whole.

Shiawase no Uta is a single-episode music video for a song performed by Ikue Sakakibara. The animated piece appeared on Minna no Uta, a program on NHK. Rather than telling a story across episodes, the release is a short visual companion to the song.
