I don't really have a whole lot of interest in the Olympics themselves, but I heard the opening ceremony is gonna be nuts. At least we can hopefully expect something better out of this one. Russia was plagued with construction and corruption issues, Rio was a disaster in many different ways, so it'll be interesting how a country like Japan handles it.

Yeah dude, where's the booze and cigarettes. Why would the 2 aspects of the japanese industry which are very much present worldwide be endorsed during a internationally broadcast event. Besides the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games have a few more sponsors than that

At the same time their culture has been influenced by videogames and cartoons so much that the ceremonies and presentations will be fun to watch and completely unpredictable.
