The stadium is already in need of fixing. Shoddy foreign craftsmanship.

They should have had a Kaiju destroying a giant coronavirus.


Yep where's Godzilla? And Super Mario eating sushi?

I don't know much else about Japan. Maybe footage of a nuclear bomb exploding?

Samurai fighting a sumo wrestler. An anime character squeaks in the background.

I'll stop.

To be fair, they are playing the Skyrim theme music now the athletes are coming out proudly showing off their gaming heritage.

Videogame music for the procession is a fun choice. Dragon Quest XI main theme does slap.

They could have at least recreated Pearl Harbour through the medium of interpretive dance.

When the news came out that each country is now invited to have a man and a woman be flag bearers I assumed that meant there would be two flags to hold, rather than two people awkwardly flying a flag around. :lol:

Telling that there's been no Nintendo music. Can almost guarantee that Nintendo didn't allow it, or tried to charge.

Probably tried to charge. They're all about that sweet, sweet licensing money these days.
