Yume Miru Koneko
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.
