Synopsis

A music video about a cat named Yume (which also means "dream" in Japanese). The song itself parodies the songs Der Flohwalzer (in Japan named as Neko Fun Jatta / I Stepped on a Cat) and Beautiful Dreamer (Yumemiru Hito) depending on whether or not "Yume" is being seen as a real cat or as a metaphorical dream or as a dream Yume the cat is having.

The music video was aired for 1 month before becoming lost media. In 2016 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 34 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.
