Share this contentTOKYO: It might be the unlikeliest instructional video ever, but footage of two Japanese amusement park executives demonstrating how to"scream inside your heart" to avoid spreading COVID-19 while on a rollercoaster has been a roaring success.

As they plunge downwards, one executive serenely readjusts his hair, and his face mask, but both otherwise remain stoically silent, even as they sway violently in the coaster car.At the end of the ride, one man lifts his hands off the seat handles, visibly trembling. A black screen follows featuring advice that some social media users have dubbed a slogan for 2020:"Scream inside your heart.

"Even though the amusement park association's guidelines ask you to 'refrain from speaking loudly' we have received complaints it is 'difficult' or 'impossible', so Fujikyu Highland offers a good example," the operator said on its website with the video.
