Ichi, Ni, San, ...
一、二、三、・・・
A music video for the song "Ichi, Ni, San, ..." performed by Toshie Kusunoki, this short was featured on NHK's Minna no Uta program. The program, which began in 1961, is known for showcasing short musical segments with accompanying visuals, often aimed at children and families. The song itself is a simple counting tune, likely designed to teach numbers in a fun and engaging way through repetition and melody.
The video is now considered lost media, with no known surviving copies in any archive or private collection. Its exact content and visuals remain unknown to the public, making it a subject of interest among media preservationists and anime historians. The loss is attributed to the era's limited preservation practices, as many early television segments were not systematically archived. Despite its obscurity, the piece represents an early example of Japanese animation and music video production, tied to a beloved national broadcasting institution.
