A snowman family melts into spring, and somehow that quiet goodbye feels like the most honest thing a children's song can say. The animation doesn't need to move much, it just holds you in a moment where temporary things are allowed to be beautiful. This is what comfort actually sounds like when you stop trying to make it profound.

Yukidaruma Kazoku is a single-episode music video made for Minna no Uta, the NHK program. Its animation accompanies a song credited to Toshiaki Chiku, and it was broadcast as part of that show's lineup.
