The athletes always are on the floor. They never sit down. They are part of the ceremony.

I thought the wacko piano player coupled with the ridiculous Kabuki character was just... ridiculous.

Not Imagine and not the Japanese choir, but some other pop song.

Bolero? Not a pop song.

Indeed very attractive

I’m half Japanese and so disappointed by their opening ceremony. So much history and culture to pull from and nothing. Just bad random modern dance.

Not to mention, they had an empty stadium. They could’ve done so much—lights or screens.

The drones were great. the pictograms were funny. That piano player was awesome.

Team USA, I want to be supportive, but you made me cringe.

Those cardboard beds won’t stop him from getting down at the Olympic village!

Absolutely!

That was the only cool thing of the ceremony but I did like the drones and thought they could have done more with them.

It was really bad/sad with an empty stadium.
