Akisutozeneko

アキストゼネコ

In the Showa period, a simple love fortune-telling game called Akisutozeneko was widely played by schoolgirls. The game involved plucking flower petals one by one while chanting a rhyme, with the final petal determining the outcome of a romantic wish. This nostalgic pastime captured the innocent hopes and dreams of youth.

This music video brings the old game back to life by setting it against a vibrant, modern Para Para dance scene. The energetic choreography and upbeat music create a striking contrast with the traditional fortune-telling, blending past and present in a single visual celebration. The video was originally broadcast as part of the Minna no Uta program, a long-running NHK segment featuring animated musical shorts.

Through its fusion of retro charm and contemporary dance, the short film evokes a sense of timelessness, showing how simple childhood traditions can be rediscovered and enjoyed by new generations. The result is a playful and heartfelt tribute to a bygone era.
