This Ondo is a remake of the "Tokyo Olympic Ondo" created for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. At the July 24th presentation, the singers performing the Ondo and parts of the music and choreography were revealed. However, the full version was unveiled in this MV, alongside the release of the choreography video.
The approximately 5-minute MV begins with the distinctive voice of Ichiro Furudate, who also hosted the presentation event. Singer Sayuri Ishikawa appears at a Shibuya Bon dance venue, passionately singing the Ondo atop a stage tower. The audience, dressed in yukata, dances to the original choreography. The Ondo then passes through musicians Pistol Takehara and Yuzo Kayama, accompanied by choreography explanations, culminating in a grand finale.
During the song's interlude, a dance featuring the seven new sports added for the Tokyo Games is incorporated, creating an exciting atmosphere. Additionally, choreography accessible to wheelchair users has been prepared.
The slogan is "HAPPY & PEACE." The Organizing Committee states, "This 'Diversity Ondo' is for everyone—regardless of age, gender, or disability—from across Japan and around the world. Let's sing, dance, and celebrate together!"
