Conor15 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I wonder what the Japan bit is about? Could that be a homage to the next host and/or Japanese immigrants in Brazil? Or is actually Tokyo's handover segment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tickle Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I wonder if the arrivals from around the world will create the rings segment. The Japanese people seem to have a red theme. The others in that image appear to be green, could they be Europeans? If each region is given a colour, they could come together to form the rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 I wonder how they will show the Indians' (Red) arrival? I mean they were there first. And Micronesians (green)? I mean those would've landed in Chile first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauricio Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 To summarize it, directors of the OC said today they had to review their plans due to the economic crisis Brazil is passing through. "The fourth (version of the OC) is like the first one in soul, but it has no money. This last one (version of the OC) was conceived 8 months ago." Now you see, a city bids to host the games, gets the nomination, spends billions of dollars to host the games and cuts the budget for the OC, this kind of unique add that will be broadcasted all around the world. Can you help me? It is insane. http://oglobo.globo.com/rio/tem-saara-pra-cacete-dizem-organizadores-da-cerimonia-de-abertura-19852554 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With many living in Sao Paulo. Japan and Brazil are quite close politically. Brazilian soccer players in Japan playing in the J-League/J2 and global superstars like Neymar are treated like royalty in Japan. I've even met Japanese-Brazilians over the years, and they they are impressed that I would know some things about Japanese-Brazilians and the culture there; they often at times have to explain things to us Americans. Never mind we have a Japanese community of our own in the US. There are some notable people there like in skating (Lincoln Ueda) and spokesmodels. But not many in prominence. Could be wrong, though.

Conor15 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Yeah, like an exchange from the Japanese hosts to the Brazilian hosts And since apparently the Carnival part was scrapped, they might use that idea in the closing ceremony or maybe one of the Paralympic ceremonies.

I don't see it. Did they junk it too -- because it would slow down the March?? Love the projections on the floor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor15 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 It will probably be on the actual show itself. After all, that was a dress rehearsal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If it's a dress rehearsal and they have those people and they're using the tricycles, then you do it. That's the only way you know if it will work or not -- or whether to keep it or to junk it. I think it was probably junked because it did NOT add anything to the Entrance of the Teams and would just slow the whole thing down. I mean, the similar "Footsteps in Time" segment in Beijing, was really quite corny. It didn't add anything for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the video I watched, the Olympic rings section will take place after that carnival and before the speeches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
