Tokyo 2020 - Day 0 - The Opening Ceremony (Fri 23 July)

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

The camera work is quite stressful.

 

[Christian]

This bit is brilliant!

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

This is amazing, but would be even better properly live in the stadium

 

[KNT]

Fully amazing.

 

[Diddy]

Omg that was a serve

oops we are going over time! That’s unlike Japan

 

[Christian]

Amazing!

That was SO GOOD.

 

[Diddy]

I wish he had pushed that button at the start

 

[win_the_game]

This was what I think everyone was expecting from Tokyo. Not that sombre hour at the start.

 

[Diddy]

This is what the ceremony should have been like FROM THE BLOODY START!!!

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

That was more the level of creativity I anticipated from the Japanese.

I'm quite excited now I must say.

 

[Diddy]

Btw for those of you interested in Japan, please subscribe to “David in Osaka” on YouTube

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

Yeah this really feels like the original intro and then they moved things around to be sombre

 

[Diddy]

Suki suki Daisuki on piano

 

[Diddy]

Ok give it up, Jazz piano is NOT what I’m up at 11.30pm for

 

[Diddy]

I don’t Daisuki this

 

[win_the_game]

Well she’s enjoying herself at least.

 

[Christian]

Japan is a terribly conservative country though incredibly alien to Europeans. This opening show is exactly what I'd expect from it.

 

[Diddy]

Omg I saw Osaka

 

[KNT]

Most of the budget went on this piano queen's hairspray

they’re normally better at it than that though. Did you subscribe to my YouTube Chrissy doll?

I don't but I'd like to. Link me up!

 

[Diddy]

Christ this will take forever, their little legs and jogging at pensioner pace

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

though incredibly alien to Europeans.

I admit I find a huge amount of Japanese culture utterly baffling.

 

[Madison]

What an odd Queen choice.

 

[Christian]

When did this start? I need the LOO myself!

 

[Diddy]

They’re going the wrong way aren’t they? Oh shit that old man will take forever, the other man is holding him upright

 

[Diddy]

I don't but I'd like to. Link me up!

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

I feel like there's only an iron lung missing.

 

[Diddy]

Jesus, don’t pass the torch to the oldest man in history give him a Segway at least

 

[Christian]

I admit I find a huge amount of Japanese culture utterly baffling.

It's the strangest place I've ever been to, just because it doesn't care at all about where you're from. You should absolutely go for a visit, it's quite amazing.

 

[Diddy]

Thank Christ for that

 

[win_the_game]

Might we see our first death at an opening ceremony just to add to today’s sombre affair?

 

[Christian]

Japan's love for baseball is eternally BAFFLING

 

[Diddy]

Cant someone give it Usain Bolt or something? I want to go to bed

not watch some middle-aged nurse called Junko jog it

 

[Diddy]

Japan's love for baseball is eternally BAFFLING

blame America (for everything)

 

[KNT]

Japan's love for baseball is eternally BAFFLING
