"Karatsume": The charm of the animation born from the NHK classic "Minna no Uta"

NHK's "Minna no Uta" is a Japanese music program that has been broadcast since 1961 and has been loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults. Among them, "Koumatou", which was broadcast in December 1977, made a deep impression on viewers with the singing of Soumato and the animation of Sadao Tsukioka. In this article, we will explore in detail the appeal of "Koumatou", its background, and its subsequent influence.

Overview of "Karumato"

"Koumatou" is a short two-minute animation that was broadcast on NHK Educational TV (now NHK E-Tele). The original work is listed as "Other", which means that due to the nature of "Minna no Uta", there is no specific original work. It was produced by Sadao Tsukioka, and the copyright belongs to NHK.

This work was broadcast only once in December 1977, but in that short time it made a lasting impression on audiences. The combination of Souma To's singing voice and Tsukioka Sadao's distinctive animation provides a rich visual and audio experience.
