【His Majesty declared opening】 On July 23, 2021 (the 3rd year of Reiwa era in the traditional Japanese calendar), His Majesty the Emperor paid an imperial visit to the Japan National Stadium and the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games was held. His Majesty declared the opening in accordance with the Olympic Charter. The charter states that the head of state of the host country make an opening declaration and the fixed phrase. The Olympic Games will be held in Japan for the fourth time following the 1964 Summer Tokyo Games, the 1972 Winter Sapporo Games, and the 1998 Winter Nagano Games. In Tokyo and Sapporo the opening declaration was made by Emperor Showa(Hirohito), and in Nagano was made by His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus (The emperor of a generation ago, Akihito) . Japan set the record for the number of Olympics held in Asia, and at the same time became the only country to hold the Summer Olympics more than once in Asia.

During the following days, the news was completely censored by the government so that the Olympics would not be canceled. It was a sad and shameful time for Mexico
@@jenkar5716 To put a definitive end to a student movement in which many civil groups united to protest against the authoritarianism and repression of the Mexican state

As a Japanese hearing the emperor hirohito speak normal Japanese sounds very unusual probably he almost never used regular Japanese and used the monarch dialect his whole life
@@realkekz the japanese imperial family lived in the palace for most of the time that they surprisingly made their own accent or dialect of japanese due to rarely going outside to the common japanese cities so that means that some of the imperial family like hirohito couldnt really communicate with normal japanese citizen because a japanese person couldnt understand the emeperors accent so the emperor needed a translator even for their own people
I remember how throughout most of the 2000s Southern Europe, including Greece, was widely regarded as just about to enter the Scandinavia-like super-rich club and these countries were widely held to be the standard to aspire towards for the former Eastern Bloc. The recession changed all that.
There’s something weird about seeing Hirohito after WW2. Even after the Axis defeat and his other two allies meeting their fates before the wars end, he remained a popular public figure for the rest of his life through the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s
It was a deal between the Americans/MacArthur and the surviving Japanese government to leave the emperor alone as a symbol in exchange for otherwise total surrender. This may have helped stave off some resistance to the incoming occupation and allow for a smoother postwar transition. (At the cost of sweeping many things under the rug, of course, but what’s a few war criminals continuing in power when there are Communists to fight…)
Not only has Queen Elizabeth II been alive to see most of the Olympic Games, but she’s the only one to have read the opening speeches the most, and on top that most of the countries which have hosted the Olympics have her as the head of state e.g(Canada and Australia) Edit: I didn’t realize that this comment would get so many likes😂

She could have opened 6 when you factor in the Winter Games. Her husband represented her once and various Governors-General (her proxies) 3 other times.
His Majesty Emperor Hirohito is reading the opening declarations of the Tokyo and Sapporo Olympic Games in colloquial Japanese. On August 15, 1945, His Majesty Hirohito read the Imperial Rescript for the End of the War in literary Japanese.
Sir William Deane was a very articulate and highly intelligent High Court Justice here in Australia who rose to become our head of State ( Governor General) so it was remarkable to hear him paralysed with nerves in 2000 in sputtering the words to open the Games. He is still alive today at 90 yrs old. Legend.
most of everything he did was pretty typical for a world leader tbh. not saying the Japanese army didn’t do mostly fucked up shit but Hirohito was almost entirely detached from the army, he was really just a figure head

From Spain I know that in the part of the Olympic Games in Barcelona the stands are not shown well and it may seem that there were few people in the stadium but I can say that there were 9364 athletes 6652 men and 2704 women from 169 national committees, Due to the changes political events that took place at the beginning of the 1990s, these were the first Olympic Games without boycotts of any kind, something unprecedented since Munich 1972. 2 After the dissolution of the USSR, the post-Soviet states participated with the Olympic flag under the name of the Unified Team , with the exception of the three Baltic republics that did attend as independent committees. And Germany, one of the greatest Olympic powers, participated as a unified state for the first time since 1964. Other notable events were the return of South Africa, absent in seven editions due to apartheid and the absence of Yugoslavia due to the international sanctions of the Balkan war. ; Its athletes competed as "independent participants" The concession of the Games served to promote the urban transformation of Barcelona, making these Olympic Games the second most successful and applauded games in the world after London 2012.

From Spain I know that in the part of the Olympic Games in Barcelona the stands are not shown well and it may seem that there were few people in the stadium but I can say that there were 9364 athletes 6652 men and 2704 women from 169 national committees, Due to the changes political events that took place at the beginning of the 1990s, these were the first Olympic Games without boycotts of any kind, something unprecedented since Munich 1972. 2 After the dissolution of the USSR, the post-Soviet states participated with the Olympic flag under the name of the Unified Team , with the exception of the three Baltic republics that did attend as independent committees. And Germany, one of the greatest Olympic powers, participated as a unified state for the first time since 1964. Other notable events were the return of South Africa, absent in seven editions due to apartheid and the absence of Yugoslavia due to the international sanctions of the Balkan war. ; Its athletes competed as "independent participants" The concession of the Games served to promote the urban transformation of Barcelona, making these Olympic Games the second most successful and applauded games in the world after London 2012.
Brazil, the only place where politics was messed up enough for people to howl at the opening of the games instead of celebrating.
