At the top of the hour (20:00 JST) we've got the Opening Ceremonies for this Tokyo 202x Olympics. Let's see just how interesting the first-hour ceremony and performance will be, and how strange the parade of athletes is going to be without any fans in attendance (though it appears there are people gathering outside of the stadium already!)

I wouldn't mind Graham Norton doing the voice over the parade and just being rude af about everyone... but I guess that really isn't in the spirit :P

I want Roy and HG to do the same but sadly they're just doing a podcast.

Also if Mario doesn't show up then this Olympics will be a bigger failure than it's already going to be.

Everything is hosed, so may as well just be hype if this thing is going ahead. Current opening ceremony for me to beat is London, particularly when Underworld scored the whole thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hM0fiegRbTg

Just a couple minutes until the show starts. I’m now glad I plumped for a 4K TV in the lead up to the Olympics.

Graphic design is my passion, so I approve of this video

I'm hoping they don't go too somber of a tone in these opening ceremony's...I get that they want to reflect on what happened during the pandemic but I'm trying to escape that poo poo for a couple hours.

Got super hype for olympics as I always do, several weeks of niche sports, then some pointless running in a straight line???? And the king of sports, rugby sevens, is back? If Mario and Sonic don’t turn up in this ceremony though I’m out

fireworks without a crowd is so sad and now the weird avant-garde part of the ceremonies

Yeah I was hoping for a light tone as well... been absent so far. Hopefully it ramps up.

This is really nice, giving me a pleasant Eno vibe Edit: actually I think I played this level in child of Eden

I've mentioned on the forums before I work in live production so I've been excited just to see what they come up with and this 3D projection is beautiful.

I'm so glad that this is on during a normal Australia timezone - I've never watched an opening ceremony since Sydney, and we all still think we're forever the best
