Time: Toki no Shiori · review
This is just a short two-minute music video as part of the very long running "Minna no Uta" program, where different musicians perform child-friendly songs set to animation produced by different animators -- something that has been literally going on for decades. And, as one might expect, the results are always of varying quality. For this particular 'Minna no Uta' video, this falls on the 'better' end of the quality spectrum. The animation is fairly simple, a wash of blues over night sky, as the singer yearns to stop time to capture the moment. The song isa slow, downtempo ballad, also well done. If you take away the fact that this was produced for 'Minna no Uta', and just put it out as a regular song and a regular video, it would hold up on its own.
Nothing fancy, just another 'Minna no Uta' video. But in this case, better than most of them.
