Two shorts with a musical theme dealing with the subject of Shoujo-ai in a slightly twisted current day setting. The general plot structure is similar as well.

Kanamewo is more explicit though and doesn't have any narration. Either way, both are quite wellmade in terms of art and animation.

These two shorts are very close conceptually: a human comes across a nonhuman loli who is unwell, they have the time of their lives together for a short while, and then she checks out. It's sad, man.

My friend Emi appeared in my dream. I was so surprised by this, I couldn’t face her at school that day. But I forgot that we had to go to the swimming pool for P.E. class that afternoon, so I ended up having to borrow Emi’s swimsuit.
