Santa wa Doko ni Iru?
サンタはどこにいる？
A music video for the song "Santa wa Doko ni Iru?" by The Three Graces was created for NHK's Minna no Uta program, a popular segment that aired short musical animations. The video likely depicted a whimsical search for Santa Claus, following the lyrics' narrative about children wondering where Santa is during the Christmas season. It was broadcast as a single episode special in 1962, featuring the trio's harmonious vocals over simple animation.
The video is now considered lost media, with no known surviving copies in any archive or private collection. Its exact visual style, character designs, and animation techniques remain unknown, preserved only in historical records and brief mentions. The song itself, however, continues to be remembered as a holiday classic in Japan.
