Kuha mula sa Tokyo 2020

Nakilahok ang humigit-kumulang sa 5,000 katao kabilang ang mga Japanese Olympians at Paralympians sa pagdiriwang ng “Tokyo 2020 Flag Tour Festival / 3 Years to Go to the Tokyo 2020 Games” event para markahan ang eksaktong tatlong taon bago ang Opening Ceremony ng Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games sa Tokyo Citizens’ Plaza sa Shinjuku kamakailan.

Ito ay pagpapakilala rin sa Nationwide Tokyo 2020 Flag Tour na may layong dalhin ang kagalakan ng Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games sa bawat sulok ng bansa.

Dinala sa Tokyo ang Olympic at Paralympic flags mula Rio noong nakaraang taon at ipinarada sa iba’t ibang lugar kabilang ang mga prepektura na naapektuhan ng 2011 East Japan earthquake at Kumamoto earthquake noong 2016.

Itinampok dito ang bagong projection mapping display kung saan ipinalabas ang video light show sa harapan ng gusali ng Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly na sinabayan ng musika at nagpakita sa mga atraksyon ng Tokyo bilang host city at power of sports.

Naglaban-laban din ang mga manonood, Olympians at Paralympians sa isang computer game na ipinalabas sa malaking screen na nagbigay-sulyap sa kung ano ang maaaring asahan ng mga tao mula sa Tokyo 2020.

“Although there have been some bumps along the way, many of the challenges have been overcome. Overall preparation is well underway, and we have also successfully reached an agreement with related parties on general costs and role sharing,” pahayag ni Tokyo 2020 President Yoshiro Mori.

“As there are only three years until Tokyo 2020, we have commenced the preparation of more intangible aspects of the Games – the mascots, the torch relay and the Opening and Closing Ceremonies. We have committees set up for each of those projects, with experts who represent Japan in those fields. We hope to show the best of Tokyo and Japan through the innovative initiatives that we are implementing in the lead up to what we believe will be the most exciting Games ever.

“As we enter the next stage of preparations, we are thrilled at the prospect of hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and we remain committed to working hard so that in three years time we will be able to welcome our guests from around the world and deliver a most exciting summer festival.”

Sinabi rin niya na gumawa sila ng Tokyo 2020 “happi” o tradisyonal na Japanese jacket, espesyal na “yukata” o casual “kimono” at naglabas ng tradisyonal na dance song na pinamagatang “Tokyo Gorin Ondo 2020” para ipagdiwang ang inaabangang Olimpiyada.
