Synopsis

A Minna no Uta music video meant to illustrate variation of the violin. From the American cowboy fiddle to the South American tango to Japanese enka. The music video was aired for 2 years before becoming lost media. In 2014 the Minna no Uta Hakkutsu Project (Minna no Uta Excavation Project) was able to find discover a copy and the music video was saved and re-aired once again after 41 years.

Background

The Minna no Uta Hakkutsu Project started in 2009 and is an initiate to archive ~500 lost songs from the program due to loss of master tapes, audio, and film from 1961-1982. Due to the copyright law of the time, price of film reels, and overwriting tapes. Similar issues plagued the BBC (e.g. Doctor Who missing episodes). By 2016, 220 songs were recovered with 100 of them being music videos.
