パリオリンピックが始まって急にこれを思い出して見た
泣いた
何回練習したんだろう

[分前ヶ月前秒前年前]

無性に見たくなって来ちゃった

途中で失敗しちゃって「頑張れー！」って家族で応援してた笑
すごく練習したんだろうな

Favourite parts: the mess-up at badminton, and when the music switches at Dressage. Such a quirky and fun performance, their celebration at the end was definitely genuine.

As a graphic designer, I love that the olympics has always believed pictograms to be essential to their marketing! They understood early on that when you bring people together from all over, simple pictures and logos can go a long way in communicating a concept visually ❤ Just such a cool use of pictograms, we had a whole lesson about their history in one of the courses

So Japan created emoji, QR code and pictographs. The country of creative minds. AMAZING!!

I just HAD to rewatch this masterpiece after enduring the atrocious Paris openig and closing. Imagine if there wasn't a pandemic back then, Japan would have pulled off and EVEN GREATER spectacle, and yet they still managed to do so much in line with the spirit of the Olympics despite having sacrifice and compromise so much. 💖🇯🇵💖

for those who think this was something so seemingly small and insignificant, then blown away and amazed at the effort and movement put into this, I would like to remind them, TOKYO 1964 is the first Olympics who started using PICTOGRAMS as part of the imaginary and branding of the Olympics.

Obviously, they want and really normal for them to celebrate on that history fact by performing this cosplay.

This literally saved the Opening ceremony

[モッティー-ir]

このパフォーマンスがいかに全世界に公平で
面白い物かを今さら再確認することになるとはね・・・

[farebii]

Very interesting and innovative way of showing the list of Olympic

hats off to the creative team behind this concept. it is much harder to pull off such a simple concept effectively. yet they pulled it off in a manner nobody anticipated. much better than the pissing contest of gaudy ceremonies that have become the hallmark of sporting events in recent history.
