Kappa no Kui Kuo Kua
カッパのクィクォクァ
A music video for the song "Kappa no Kui Kuo Kua" by the Japanese vocal group Duke Aces and actress Nobue Ichitani, animated by Yoji Kuri. The video was featured on NHK's Minna no Uta program in 1975, a popular segment that showcased short musical animations.
After its initial broadcast, the video was considered lost media for many years, with no known copies surviving. It was eventually recovered thanks to the Minna no Uta Hakkutsu Project, a dedicated effort to find and restore missing episodes and segments from the program's history. The rediscovery allowed audiences to once again see this piece of animation, which stands as a rare example of Kuri's work in the context of television music videos from the era.
