A relatively low-key opening ceremony. Still loud enough to make it hard to hear the protests outside.
The Olympic rings were made with wood from trees planted by athletes the last time Japan hosted the Summer Olympics.
The precision drone display was impressive.
The orchestral video game medley for the athletes’ parade was quite weird.
My favourite bit was definitely the Pictograms quick-change act, a clever way of showing the wide variety of sports included. And also golf.
The BBC trailer leans into the popular culture promotional theme (going with Ghost In The Shell rather than the more Olympic-relevant Akira was probably wise considering what happens) as does the opening for the sport JRPG Google Doodle.
