It features Teruyoshi Uchimura, Yuki Amami, Mio Imada, and Ren Meguro each enjoying the festival atmosphere and the refreshing breeze, with their savoring expressions vividly conveying that sense of refreshment.
It also suggests that even if the festival’s location or time differs, the invigorating feeling of the clear breeze remains the same.
