On the 8th, the Tokyo Olympics officially closed.
Although this Olympic Games has been bumpy all the way and has been complained about, there are still many bright spots at the closing ceremony.
For example, the visual effect is not bad " Five Rings of Light "
Kenya's players have a firm and contagious gaze
Singer Milet's dedication
Echoing the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the 2016 Tokyo Eight Minutes of ARIGATO (thank you)
but... The closing ceremony is still a perfect inheritance of the tradition of the opening ceremony "the highlights are not as good as the slot points", and the atmosphere of hades filled the whole venue and made people confused.
Especially the onion dance in the middle, the strange music and movement combination not only domestic audiences can't stand it, Japanese netizens also call this thing completely "The shame of Japan".
Pushing the term "Japan's shame" is basically bound to the Olympic Games, as long as you mention it, everyone is a scolding.
"What the hell is this man doing... Tonight the material for the nightmare has..."
"Are the people who are planning this thing all old people?" I've been putting in some old stuff since the beginning, and I thought I was watching the Olympics 50 years ago. ”
"Sign Language Teacher: I can't understand it, we don't understand it, we don't understand it, we don't dare to translate blindly"
"If you don't have anything to say, just have a toast, you guys have worked hard at the Tokyo Olympics."
Netizens suggested that instead of showing these hades to audiences around the world, it would be better to arrange a Pikachu and Ibu parade to wash their eyes.
"Don't look at all these things that you don't understand, don't you dance Dragon Ball, Nintendo Mario, Doraemon, Soccer Junior, and Pikachu?"
"It's a shame to play this thing all over the world, sorry for these hard-working actors and crews, where are the hundreds of millions of dollars used?"
"Or is the original plan more energetic, after Dentsu took over, it made such a low-energy Olympics, this thing can use tens of billions of funds to be outrageous, and the money has gone into whose pocket?"
Not only was the closing ceremony scolded, but the previous opening ceremony was brought out to parade the streets for public display.
The newspaper sister has introduced many times, because of infighting, corruption, scandals, bribery and other problems, the main creative team of the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Olympic Games has changed blood several times, and finally became this picture of no one and no ghosts.

The way Aki pulled off the scene in the previous draft, the Nintendo elements including Mario, etc. were all cut, and well-known artists such as Apple Queen and Naomi Watanabe also withdrew. Many Japanese people who have expectations are quite angry about this.

So after watching the closing ceremony, the Japanese audience couldn't hold back the fire in their stomachs:
It is said that because the performance of the Nomura Mansai team was more fluent, the Olympic Committee rejected Dentsu's plan several times.
As a result, the dentsu plan, which had no aesthetic sense, was approved, and the opening ceremony was completely without theme.
Aren't you Dentsu an advertising design company, and I really saw such a tasteless Olympic opening ceremony for the first time. ”
"More than the opening ceremony, it costs 16.5 billion yuan? What is this money for?
Skateboarding, shuttlecock, jump rope, hip-hop... What can be done on the streets of Tokyo, and that's what the closing ceremony is all about? ”
"That soul dance looks like a zombie, and it's hard to understand the performance that is too sharp on this occasion."
Watching the performers all have a good time, I don't know how the participants will feel..."
Because they were too disappointed, everyone began to praise other people's Olympic Games:
"The level of the performers is so different, and Japan is really not.
You media don't blow japan every day, I feel ashamed.
The official performance of the French opening ceremony must be very exciting. ”
"The president of the French Olympic Organizing Committee is so young and optimistic about envy, unlike Japan, which has to use an 85-year-old bad old man, a bad old man to dominate the Olympic Games, the opening and closing ceremonies can not become that kind of hades style...
Maybe this Olympics is for the elderly who want to experience the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
As a result, the whole world has seen that Japan is still the same Japan that stayed a few decades ago. ”
"The French show is amazing! It can be said that it saved Dentsu from this boring closing ceremony that was as boring as urine.
But to tell the truth, Dentsu's performance is bad, it can be said that it is a huge pit that cannot be filled.
Five years ago in Rio's Tokyo, eight minutes was so exciting, why did the Tokyo Olympics get to this point?"
In Rio de 2016, the "Eight Minutes in Tokyo" at the closing ceremony once amazed many people.
The perfect combination of popular elements and sports, technology and culture competing on the same stage, the images we have been familiar with since childhood have appeared one by one in the "scene", bringing a sunny and energetic "Tokyo 2020" outlook.
The idea of "Mario" halfway across the globe into the familiar green pipe from Tokyo to Rio still seems amazing today.
If we continue in this style, we will see the foreshadowing of "Eight Minutes in Tokyo", see the opening and closing ceremonies full of yang atmosphere, and see pop culture symbols resonate with audiences around the world.

Unfortunately, under the infighting and scandals, countless creative and talented artists, producers, and entertainers have left, and the Olympic Games have become a means of playing politics and a corruption carnival for those in power.
The excitement of eight minutes in Tokyo cannot be recreated, and the original dream opening ceremony has become a piece of paper.
At the end of the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, the eight minutes of Paris showed us a completely different style, sunny, elegant and energetic, sweeping away the previous haze.
The space station's saxophone became the focus of discussion, watching the sunrise and sunset, and the music spreading from space to the earth, the ultimate romantic.
Pleasing to the eye and calm and free, this land welcomes visitors from all over the world in a more inclusive manner 3 years later.
Watch volleyball under the Eiffel Tower, versailles gardens inside than equestrianism... Landmark buildings have become competition venues, and people can't help but look forward to the grand event.
Everyone began to have full confidence in 2024, just like the summer of 2016, looking forward to Tokyo in 2020.
But unlike 2016, the world has undergone profound and permanent changes.
The epidemic is still in the stage of a major outbreak, and the world is likely to be the same as it is today in 3 years, and the Olympic Games will still be affected.
We have a beautiful yearning for infinite optimism about the future, but along the way, we may have to admit:
All the good ideas, be careful to look forward to...
