A girl describing the vastness of space keeps coming back to the smell of her friend's tomatoes. That's the whole song, and it breaks you because it's honest, the things that matter aren't up there, they're here, in the dirt, in the people you know. Sakamoto Maaya's voice carries both the wonder and the ache of that realization without ever stating it outright. This is a Minna no Uta that understands that the smallest details are what make us want to come home. One episode. One perfect moment that lingers longer than anything grand could.

A girl dreams that she has become an astronaut while her friend works as a farmer. As she describes the marvels of outer space, her thoughts drift back to the scent of the tomatoes and lettuce her friend grows. This short fantasy music video was made for NHK's Minna no Uta program, with the song performed by Sakamoto Maaya. It pairs the wide wonder of the cosmos with a small, familiar memory from home.
