Clarinet Kowashichatta

In a sunny field, a group of children play together, laughing and running through the grass. One child holds a clarinet, and the others gather around curiously. As they play, the clarinet is accidentally dropped and breaks, causing a moment of shock and sadness among the friends. The children try to fix it, but their efforts only make it worse. The song from the Dark Ducks, a popular vocal group of the time, accompanies the scene, capturing the innocence and simplicity of childhood. The video, part of the Minna no Uta series, uses colorful animation to depict the children's emotions and the gentle lesson about accidents and forgiveness. Despite the mishap, the children continue to play, learning that mistakes happen and friendship endures. The short film reflects a nostalgic view of childhood, where small disasters are part of growing up, and the joy of being together outweighs any broken object.
