Koala's Good-Bye Song

Koala's Good-Bye Song originated as a captivating animated music video showcased during the 2016 Animal Light Festival, a unique collaboration between Kanazawa Zoo and innovative light artists. Set against the backdrop of illuminated stone structures, the festival invited visitors to experience a blend of multimedia art and installations, all while the zoo remained open after hours. A year later, Asami shared a live recording of her enchanting piece on her official YouTube channel, featuring a charming koala strumming a guitar alongside two fellow koalas with maracas, accompanied by a delightful cast of other animals.

In 2019, Asami revisited her beloved creation, releasing a new piano rendition that highlighted the main koala’s skillful performance from an intriguing perspective, focusing on the musician’s hands at the keys. This fresh animation brought a new layer of warmth and creativity to the original song, deepening the connection between the music and its adorable, animated characters.
