Using JRPG / video game music in the #Olympics opening ceremony is inspired. All these game series like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Chrono Trigger have uplifting and inspiring themes that fit so well with the Olympic spirit

Wer hätte jemals für möglich gehalten, dass im ZDF einen Mittag lang Videospielmusik aus “Sonic” und “Final Fantasy” – kommentiert von Bela Rèthy läuft?

Tokyo Games showcase the changing face of sports in Japan
Kay Nagatsuka, Jul 25, 2021

quotes:

One of the most notable changes to Japan’s once-homogenous sports scene over the last decade has been the rising prominence of multiracial athletes, a change that was spotlighted at the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony by Naomi Osaka and Rui Hachimura.
With Osaka taking center stage lighting the cauldron at the opening ceremony and Hachimura carrying the Japanese flag alongside wrestler Yui Susaki — not to mention a 583-athlete delegation that includes a significant number of athletes from various backgrounds — the shift is becoming increasingly obvious.
“Undoubtedly the greatest athletic achievement and honor I will ever have in my life,” Osaka tweeted after the opening ceremony. “I have no words to describe the feelings I have right now but I do know I am currently filled with gratefulness and thankfulness.”
Historically, the public has tended to separately classify multiracial citizens from monoracial citizens.
But Kohei Kawashima, a professor of Sport Sciences at Waseda University, said that the definition of “Japanese” has gradually transformed over the last “10, 20 years,” with the public becoming more aware that a greater number of multiracial people — including in the world of sports — are part of Japanese society.
“Hopefully, the Tokyo Olympics are an opportunity for Japan to stop differentiating biracial athletes from those who are not and view them all as just the same,” Kawashima told The Japan Times in an online interview on Tuesday
Still, Kawashima noted that Japan is seeing multiracial athletes playing team sports, not just individual ones, coming through the ranks alongside monoracial athletes, working toward common goals and achieving victories.
“I’ll watch team sports like rugby and basketball with curiosity this time because they’ve got athletes from different backgrounds who are working together to win,” Kawashima said. “I think the public seeing that will have a bigger impact (on society).”

Drastic social change, however, was unlikely to result overnight from the mere appearances of these athletes. That, he said, was likely to take a generation.
“So the current children see more influential biracial athletes competing and when they reach their 20s, 30s, then Japanese society might look differently from what it does today,” Kawashima said. “And if that happens, this Tokyo Olympics is going to be a turning point — I’d like to believe that.”
