Beijing : our Olympics were the most sophisticated and largest ever made 🇨🇳 London : our Olympics were the funniest and most iconic 🇬🇧 Rio: our Olympics was the literal biggest party alive dude 🇧🇷 Tokyo: our Olympics will be ready to go on during the hardest times. 🇯🇵

[@evashogoki8703]

I really wish the ceremony added more elements of Japanese culture

[@crozzxj8556]

Look up the original plans of Tokyo 2020 olympics opening ceremony. It contained everything you mentioned.

[@Clrula]

If only the original plan would have gone through... If this was enough to move people, who knows how much the original plan would have achieved in our hardest times.

Greetings from 🇧🇷! Those drones flying shows that 🇯🇵 heavily invests in technology! It was a different opening ceremony due the pandemic, with no audience to preserve our health. Paris 2024 will be different. Will be the first Olympics post Pandemic and marked by the return of the audience! And the Opening Ceremony will be at the banks of Seine River, near Eiffel Tower.

Yo puse la canción en el tiempo que todos sufrí.os el encierro y ya tanta muerte en los hospitales Y estoy orgulloso que me hayan dicho de más chavo que escuchaba música de viejitos en 1990 dos chavos que a uno era tan de Depeche mode y el otro de the cure Pero por lo menos mis Beatles dejaron. Un mensaje al mundo sobretodo John Lennon. Que es el autor de este monumento de cancion Cuando hay mucha individualidad ,no compañerismo ,ganas de pisar a como de lugar Y la frase Primero yo luego yo y al último yo Ahí están las consecuencias Hasta me hacía llorar cuando puse la canción y escuchar esto en los juegos Olímpicos de tokio👍🙂😥

Japan has too rich a culture to submit to a cliché song that is "Imagine", sung in English. Totally out of context.
