A single song that feels like looking at a photograph of something you almost remember. Seiichi Hayashi animates it with the kind of restraint that makes every small movement matter, no wasted gesture, no filler, just a human moment stretched into three minutes. The song isn't trying to move you. It already has.
Watashi no Ningyou is a single-episode animated music video for the song of the same name by Hiroki Inui. The piece appeared on Minna no Uta, a program on NHK, and its animation is the work of Seiichi Hayashi.
