    This cute little animation is a great start off to the 2021 Olympics, I just wish they had shown it to the whole public/audience as well. It's a simple story following 5 children, of different cultures, and their spirits/elements(??) as they rush to save their dying world. There were incorporations of different types of sports during the adventure such as swimming, basketball, volleyball, pole-vaulting, and others that I probably missed the first time. Overall it's a quick animation that sets the mood for the Olympics and that for some reason almost made me tear up :)) Nothing less to expect from Japan
