Haruka ni Chou wa
はるかに蝶は
Saori Yuki's song "Haruka ni Chou wa" was featured on NHK's Minna no Uta program, a popular segment that showcased animated music videos for children. The music video, created to accompany the song, aired in 1971 and was part of a series of short films that combined music with visual storytelling.
Despite its original broadcast, the video is now considered lost media. No known copies exist in any archive, television station library, or private collection. The audio track of the song has survived through recordings, but the visual component has disappeared entirely.
Efforts to locate the footage have been unsuccessful, leaving only descriptions and memories of its original airing. The loss of this video represents a gap in the history of Japanese animation and music video production from the early 1970s.
