He has to be sober in front of the public. Japanese media was caring about reactions of foreign media.A lots of people said it was very boring,dull and cheap. Not so.Too late.

Been there to watch the cauldron in Daiba yume no oh hashi. If you are interested in it more,you can watch it in my youtube page(link address in my signature. shown when you are logged in.)

Generally, chrysanthemums are flowers to serve in the coffin for the dead in funeral so they are not suitable for bouquets. It's like saying "eternal adieu" to athletes. A big chrysanthemum looks great though.

NHK uploaded full video,but I am not sure it's available in your region. https://sports.nhk.or.jp/olympic/highlights/content/1feb8382-e3e5-4498-9bac-e250086c102e/

A lot of punches to them!

The good 1-godzilla Matsui and Shigeo Nagashima 2-Naomi 3-drone globe and singers of "Imagine"but not so much for the song itself. The very very bad 1-50 pictograms. 2-50 pictograms. 3-50 pictograms. Disappointed so much for this.

Naomi!

Nippon.

Jordan.ya yu yordan.no yoshi?

Drone,drone!

According to the evening news,MISIA is going to sing national anthem.

Just came back from Tokyo.I took a video of 5 rings by blue impulse.

Now I'm in near national stadium.About 1 hour and half later,I see 5 rings in the sky.Many people in the street who want to witness it,and I'm one of them with soyoshi.

Some classical music or opera song?

Little bit long version.

I think those pebbles and rocks are deeply related to Japan's nature worship,animism and life and death.Generally pebbles and rocks of riverside(especially rivers in the mountain)are natural object that people's(dead or alive)soul,spirit and invisible feelings dwell.Perhaps those stones mean souls of the victims of an earthquake in Tohoku,they go up high in the sky and then to heaven...well just in my interpretation.Otherwise,they are simply stones of fence of samurai castle. At "24 of the video What I don't understand most is white mummy costumes.It's like Thriller or Butoh.
