yoshi Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 It's almost become a recent tradition for the Paralympic opening ceremony to be better than the Olympic one. I don't really know why this has happened (lower budgets forcing more creativity? Too much protocol in IOC rules?) but hopefully Tokyo continues it. Is MIKIKO involved? Have they actually managed to keep a creative team in place for more than 3 months this time? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD96 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Reminder: The Olymoic ceremonies was also called "Moving Foward", what that means is that the Paralympic ceremonies are a continuation of the Olympic ceremonies. Pretty unique for Tokyo as Olympic and Paralympic ceremonies are usually seperate works. Tokyo's Paralympic ceremonies is the sequel to the Olymoic ceremonies.

WD96 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 I know this statement may apply to to ceremonies in past Paralympic ceremonies but to me, it makes sense considering the theme of moving foward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacholympic Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 Do you know something about this? Was it the original plan of MIKIKO? To continue the show they did on the handover segment in Rio??? If it was the plan... I feel more and more dissapointed... it could have been the best opening ceremony ever thet we already started to watch four years earlier...

Ikarus360 Posted August 23 Report Share Posted August 23 I actually was going to drop/ignore this opening after the catastrophe which were the Olympic ones, but after seeing the rehearsals it seems this show is going to mop the floor with the Olympics ceremonies. It still looks simple and with heavy use of projections but at least it seems to be a much coherent show with a common theme connecting it which the Olympic one didn't as a result of all the controversies/changes in the ceremonies team.

It seemed very slow to me... Rio's was more dynamic, faster and colorfull with shorter segments that kept your attention ... PyeongChang was a lot more dynamic and faster than the Olympics ceremonies and the projections were even more mind blowing despite the slow intro segment of the drums rite... Toyo dismissed the projections and we all already know why: it was just for the controversies, lack of organization and the endless quarrels inside the (dis)organizing ceremonies commiittee... Just few hours away to watch a new ceremony and give a veredict. I hope this ceremony to be the one which save the year and this Olympic edition.

Ikarus360 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Just a small reminder Tokyo 2020 ceremonies weren't the only ones which suffered resignations from its staff. Four years ago I talked about how the original art director of the PC 2018 ceremonies resigned due to creative differences with the director (the later was considered much more experienced than the director himself). There is more info about it here http://news.sbs.co.kr/news/endPage.do?news_id=N1003757002 Jung Gu-Ho, (정구호 , art director) was very liked by korean netizens and some in 2017 thought the PC ceremonies were completely doomed. Fortunately, the worst was avoided and they could make a decent show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Didn't knew Junichi did music for the Paralympics ceremony. I know him for doing the music of Kirameiger (previous Super Sentai show) so now I realize why it felt familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
