Ikarus360 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 So....here we are. Less than 12 hours for the Opening ceremony of a very cathartic Olympics which are, somehow, still happening despite everything. I know the current situation is very awkward and this might be the most depressing ceremony we'll watch, but we still have to keep with GB tradition somehow. Anyway, let's get started. Quote

alterNATE Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Do you guys have a link where I can watch the opening ceremony? Thank you in advance! Quote

Mansai Nomura (one of the main guys in charge of the ceremonies) is a Kabuki actor/director and he often played roles in historical eigas (movies)} such as Onmyoji. Kabuki also happened in the Rugby World Cup opening. Almost 30 minutes to go. Quote
