Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 A ska edition of Edith Piaf's "Chanson d'amour" - pretty bold, Tokyo! But it sounds great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian2005 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 Already one million times better than the trainwreck opening.

Olympian2004 Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 And finally, the Ode to Joy is being played at a ceremony at these Games. I was already wondering whether the Japanese had forgotten how madly in love their are with that piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, this is probably entertaining for the Japanese with their starts represented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
