beni 2149 Posted April 29, 2016 Too soon? Nah~ Use this thread as an updates on any news concerning the upcoming Olympics, and feel free to comment on anything you want relating to it. Here's some good articles I've enjoyed reading: http://aramajapan.com/ranking/2020-summer-olympics-opening-ceremony-performer-ranking/18584/ (Interesting stuff, been reading plenty of these rankings) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11389277/AKB48-the-Japanese-band-too-embarrassing-for-Tokyos-2020-Olympics.html (LOL) http://www.thequint.com/videos/2016/04/29/japan-holds-auditions-to-find-ninjas-for-2020-olympics (Why this is worth your attention) Had never really been interested in the Olympics until I tuned into the London 2012 opening ceremony and stayed with it from there. Pretty pumped for this, for obvious reasons! Anyone else? Sure it's still a way away... x'D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gekiai 231 Posted May 2, 2016 I'm definitely pumped. By then I'll be in Japan so I could imagine myself going. I can mostly agree with the rankings in the first article and the second article....but ninjas?? Really now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted May 2, 2016 I hope the opening and closing ceremonies will be as festive as London 2012 and Beijing 2008 combined. And most absolutely no AKB, please god. I'd rather have SPEED or Momoiro Clover Z At London 2012, we got to see Mr.Bean, Spice Girls reunion and Monty Phyton which for me are the best thing ever lol So I am looking forward to Tokyo 2020! Banzai! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted May 2, 2016 As it was stated in Arama already: Anything but idols (AND ninjas). No need to trash Japan's economically crucial image further... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
