Olympics ceremony uses music from Japanese video games

from the Dragon Quest series. Dragon Quest was enormously influential as the first console role-playing game, launching a genre. The series became so popular in Japan that 300 students were arrested for truancy after they left school to purchase Dragon Quest III.The music of the Final Fantasy series is among the most familiar to western audiences. The parade included the main Final Fantasy theme and “Victory Fanfare,” the song that plays when a player wins an encounter.

Many of the iconic themes from other Nintendo games, such as Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, weren’t played in the parade. And producers didn’t include many of the shorter jingles from early video games, such as Pac-Man and Asteroids.

Famous racist artist Koichi Sugiyama works were used for admission march. I think it was most expensive but worst blessed olympics opening ceremony.

Like anyone gives a shit

Good. Nobuo Umatsu is a brilliant mind and should be celebrated.

horrible

The orchestrated versions are so nice!
