Tokyo 2020 - Closing Ceremony (Sun 16th August)

[Madíson]

Ooh - does this mean the Paris bit is soon I’ve heard it’s impressive.

but how could they follow that

I don’t know who this non-binary Hagrid is though

 

[GNL]

Japan's answer to Pink <3

 

[D5K]

So did we get through the Olympics without seeing Mt Fuji, cherry blossom, Nintendo, Ghibli, ninjas, Godzilla etc?

its taken 16 days to see a fucking kimono

Wasn't the pyramid under the cauldron at the opening ceremony supposed to be Mount Fuji?

 

[rhythmbandit]

How nice that she chose to wear her curtains from home for this performance.

 

[Diddy]

Well at least someone finally did something impressive if a little scary

 

[Diddy]

Wasn't the pyramid under the cauldron at the opening ceremony supposed to be Mount Fuji?

i guess? I mean it’s just a pile

 

[Diddy]

I mean what are we all doing buggering around with flags

 

[Diddy]

Sort of glad it’s someone else’s problem now

 

[GNL]

I hope Alizee is in this.

 

[Madíson]

Oh pants. I’ve just realised, due to Brexit, it’ll be relatively difficult to get Paris tickets

 

[rhythmbandit]

I hope Alizee is in this.

She's booked to sing the national anthem in 2024.

 

[Diddy]

This is a bit much, half of them are just freestyling

 

[Diddy]

Hope you get more ASFM stars in Paris 2024

 

[Madíson]

Nice cameo for @The Winged Victory of Samothrace

 

[Madíson]

Fucking CGI

I was expected a real giant flag.

 

[Diddy]

Fucking CGI

the sign language guy did a very polite at it.

I see they are making sure everyone’s had Covid before they start

 

[Diddy]

Why are they doing the Dutch flag?

 

[Madíson]

This was almost as underwhelming as a James Newman live performance or a Japanese opening ceremony.

 

[Madíson]

This was from June:

 

[GNL]

I liked the pre-recorded bit.

 

[Diddy]

Any chance they’ll finish with something good? There’s 35 minutes left, there’s Bach, probably pissing about with flags, Chuck some water on the flame, is that it?

 

[GNL]

The Squirtle Squad will be snuffing out the Olympic flame.

I think there's more to come from Paris.

 

[win_the_game]

Bach and his bastardisation of Citius, Altius, Fortius can do one.

 

[GNL]

"You give to the world the most precious of gifts... THIRST TRAPS!"

 

[Diddy]

oh so the torch can light up different colours? Why the fuck didn’t they? Red Fuji is a famous thing

 

[Diddy]

Ugh why are they doing those hearts? Very déclassé

I hate Bach’s false endings to his speeches

 

[Madíson]

I wonder if Lord Coe will try to takeover when Bach steps down?

 

[win_the_game]

Why is he thanking RIGHTS HOLDING BROADCASTERS?

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE OLYMPICS BEHIND A PAY WALL SO WE COULDN'T WATCH MOST OF IT.

 

[rhythmbandit]

I wonder if Lord Coe will try to takeover when Bach steps down?

He seems like the natural successor.

 

[Diddy]

Why is he thanking RIGHTS HOLDING BROADCASTERS?

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE OLYMPICS BEHIND A PAY WALL SO WE COULDN'T WATCH MOST OF IT.

well if it wasn’t for them, Tokyo would’ve have been forced into doing it!

 

[Diddy]

My Japanese isn’t that good, I thought she was singing about Scorpion eggs

 

[rhythmbandit]

Hey, whats missing from this ceremony? A Japanese Mary Poppins singing to a choir of kids.

 

[Diddy]

This is the climax? They really don’t have a clue

IMAGINE HOW TIRED WE ALL ARE

 

[GNL]

Oh I love this piece of music

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Great to hear some Tomita

 

[Madíson]

Still looks like the killer robots from Oblivion.

 

[Diddy]

So shit even the IKEA lamp went into standby mode

 

[GNL]

Omg Rina get that promo.
