One year until the opening of the Olympics The countdown panel relights 19:56, July 22
It was 23 days until the opening of the postponed Tokyo Olympics, and just one year before, a major bank in Tokyo relit the countdown panel that had been turned off.
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, a sponsor of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, installed a panel in the waiting area of a building in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and was counting down the remaining days from July 2018 to the opening.
However, due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the holding of the Olympic Games was postponed, so the power of the panel was once turned off in March.
It was 23 days before the opening of the Tokyo Olympics, which was postponed in the summer of next year, and just one year before the day, I worked on the 22nd to light up the countdown again in order to boost my mood.
When 366 days until the Tokyo Olympics and 398 days until the Tokyo Paralympics were displayed again, the passing employees seemed to imagine a year after they looked at the panel.
