Time
20:00 JST (12:00 PM UK Time, 13:00 PM CET) ---------------------------------------- Guests: ''will only be attended by VIP guests'' and much of the artistic and cultural sections of the ceremony will adhere to social distancing guidelines and some portions will be filmed virtually. ----------------------------------------- Parade of Nations Athletes will enter the stadium in an order dictated by the Olympic tradition. As the originator of the Olympics, the Greek team will enter first. Other teams will enter in katakana order based on the names of countries in the Japanese language, the first time this will happen as previous Olympics held in Japan have used the English language. Following tradition, the delegation from the host nation Japan will enter last. The Refugee Olympic Team, composed of refugees from several countries, will be the second nation to enter, after Greece. For the first time ever in the opening ceremony, the countries that will host the next two Olympic Games, France and the United States, will march immediately before the host nation Japan enters, instead of entering one-hundred-fifty-fourth (between Brazil and Bulgaria) and seventh (between Afghanistan and American Samoa), respectively, according to the Japanese alphabet order. The names of the nations will be announced in French, followed by English and Japanese, the official languages of the Olympic movement and the host nation, in accordance with traditional and International Olympic Committee (IOC) guidelines. ------------------------------------ Performers (what we know so far, more to be revealed later on) *a pre-recorded virtual/hybrid pre-opening ceremony with an exhibition flight by Blue Impulse, the aerobatics squadron of the Japanese Air Self Defense Force. Anthems Japan – Kimigayo, National Anthem of Japan International Olympic Committee – Olympic Anthem Last edited by Nicky91; 08-08-2021 at 08:31 AM. |

producer of both opening and closing ceremonies is Takayuki Hioki, who has been advised by Marco Balich, who notably did the opening ceremony for Turin Winter Olympics in 2006
The Olympic cauldron/flame will be lit by an athlete, still unknown. the cauldron here is designed by Oki Sato, who attended Waseda University, the same as Yoshinori Sakai, the 1964 cauldron lighter |

*The Ceremony will feature music by Seigen Tokuzawa, Marihiko Hara, and Masayuki Kagei. (The Ceremony should have featured music by Keigo Oyamada (Cornelius), but he withdrew, just some days before ceremony)
*Comedy-duo HIRO-PON are expected to make an appearance *The opening declaration of the 2020 Olympic Games, limited to a prescribed statement of around 17 words, laid down in the Olympic Charter, will be made by Emperor Naruhito. Kyodo News quoted a source as confirming that the Emperor would be attending. He will be the third Japanese Emperor to open an Olympics, following his grandfather Emperor Hirohito (1964 Summer and 1972 Winter Olympics) and his father Emperor Akihito (1998 Winter Olympics). He is also the honorary patron of Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympics |

even if a different director, i do think most things will remain as planned
but just the final touches to the ceremony to go under some slight changes nothing drastic what they can change anymore now anyways, but good to replace him even if old news, at least we can avoid that moment of controversy/awkwardness for the show tomorrow

Guinea will still take part in the games after all, they first said they would pull out because of worries over covid-19 but yesterday evening the government came back from that decision and decides to send their athletes after all
some notable athletes they have are - Fatoumata Lamarana Touré (Swimming) - Mamadou Tahirou Bah (Swimming) - Fatoumata Yarie Camara (Wrestling) - Aissata Deen Conté (Athletics) - Mamadou Samba Bah (Judo)

Netherlands will send 42 athletes/staff to opening ceremony, out of squad of 288
chef de mission (former swimming olympic champ) Pieter van den Hoogenband also said in a interview, we aim to break our medal record of 25 (which still stands since 2000) there'll be no victory parties either, only after these 2 weeks those who had won anything can celebrate it only then

ok ok
overall show wise very boring the flag parade, i like certain countries with outfits into the culture of their nation Cameroon for example, super stunning looking Austria nice those lederhosen shorts  Italy disappointing look coming from the number one nation of fashion  TeamGB looked overall nice, also the flag bearers very proudly waving that flag  TeamNL, Haha well my reaction for our male flag bearer to quote him ''Ik ben Blij Jonguh'' Churandy's usual catchphrase, amazing moment for such a wonderful guy  nice they all still wave, even if just for the VIP guests, it shows what a important and special moment that is for them in their careers and good most wear face masks  , shame i had to see some without

any dignitaries in attendance of the closing ceremony
Estonia's President Kersti Kaljulaid France's Prime Minister Jean Castex and Sandra Castex Japan's crown prince Fumihito USA's ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield Much of the artistic and cultural sections of the ceremony will adhere to social distancing guidelines and the majority of segments will be pre-recorded Many sequences of the ceremony will be pre-recorded This will be the first time in Olympic history that the presentation will be performed via limited spectator capacity from Paris as French performers could not travel to Japan due to the COVID-19 pandemic in France.
