The "World Festival" Tokyo Olympics kicked off on the 23rd at 8pm at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, Japan. 



Emperor Naruhito added 'commemoration' instead of 'congratulations' in the opening declaration considering that the Olympics are being held amid concerns about Corona 19. 



At the same time as the Emperor's declaration of the opening ceremony, colorful firecrackers were set off, signaling the full-fledged start of the competition.
