Chage & Aska: On Your Mark (1995 Music Video)
8/10
Best animation from any music video?
11 March 2024
When you've watched all of Hayao Miyazaki's movies, you can either rewatch them, or try and find some of his short films (which is easier said than done, as I think a fair few are only accessible in the Studio Ghibli museum in Japan).

On Your Mark was one I was able to find, and as far as music videos go, it's very good. I at first thought the song wasn't much, but it grew on me. The narrative is nice and simple, but it works; I thought the very last moment was touching and built up to well. It's also just as well-animated as most of Hayao Miyazaki's movies; he really seemed to go all out for this project.

It's one of those slightly hidden titles within a director's body of work that's actually very easy to recommend to his fans. I think it's always nice to find titles like that every now and then.
