Yasui Hiroyuki is a junior-high school teacher and rugby coach in western Japan. With his motto "One Team," he encourages students to unite to cope with the coronavirus pandemic. His school was closed the day after the entrance ceremony. Forced to stay at home, new first-year students couldn't get to know each other. When the school reopens in May, Hiroyuki suggests an interclass competition as a way for students to bond, getting them to suggest events and ways to practice. Here is a selfie-style video diary of a passionate teacher and his students.

Hirosaki Park in northern Japan is one of the country's finest cherry blossom sites. Nowhere in the world do cherry trees bloom so fully and close together. The overwhelming density of the striking pink flowers is a result of the region's distinctive pruning techniques. Showers of petals in the wind and the blanket of fallen blossoms that covers the park's moats, are astonishing to see. Using drones as well as high-speed and time-lapse filming techniques, the program is shot with high-definition cameras capturing the beautiful, shifting life cycle of the flowers.
