Beijing Games draw attention in Japan

The Beijing Winter Olympics have been warmly welcomed in Japan with its promotional video drawing attention at Tokyo's iconic crossing.

The video, which was made by the China Media Group, exhibits the charms of winter sports along with subtle but touching elements of the Chinese capital city. It was played multiple times on all major screens in the Shibuya Scramble Crossing starting from Wednesday.

"The video is not only a call for unity under the theme 'Together for a Shared Future', but also a hearty invitation to people from all over the world and all walks of life, to everyone coming to Beijing to enjoy winter sports," said He Xinlei, one of the organizers of the event.
