Despair that felt the reaction of the Tokyo Olympic opening ceremony ... It is unacceptable for game music to be used conveniently [column]

* Update (2021/09/01 23:00): Fixed the article heading and replaced some links.The background is published in this article.

On July 23, the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics was held.Although the spread of infections in Tokyo is still unpredictable, many people gathered around the venue, even though they were non -audiences.In the morning of the same day, Blue Impulse flew, and many people looked up out of the sky to see the situation.Personally, the Olympics have begun to get on anything, but people seem to have begun to be paralyzed by anger and fear.The idea that people will forget all if they take a gold medal seemed to be credible.It's more annoying, and when I think about the people in the medical field, I can't do it too much.

Although the number of deaths seems to be decreasing, the new "Delta shares" have entered Japan, and there are also more than 4 million people in India (of course, warm countries).be.Aside from the accurate number of deaths in India, the Cumulative report of WHO as of July 24 is 1 in total..More than 900 million people have been infected and more than 4 million have died, so it would be impossible to say "it is the same as a cold."There is a view that there is no problem because it is an audience, but the infection has begun even among the players, and the number of tests for the Olympic officials is clearly tight in the city number of tests.。"Bubble" doesn't seem to work at all.

In Tokyo, the beds are depleted, and an emergency declaration has appeared.It was a few days ago that the demands such as "work to apply pressure from financial institutions for liquor sales regulations" was regarded as a problem.They say that Tokyo should be an emergency where you can't even drink a ragged alcohol.Nevertheless, there are tens of thousands of people and events where people come and go are ongoing.The two completely inconsistent cases were being carried out by the same entertainment of the same state / local government, and they were as absurd as underground entertainers.If you were not a party, you may have been laughing, but most of us are scared of the risk of infection and the sign of a large tax increase that will come.

Although each paper varies, more than half of the people oppose the Olympics (at least before the opening ceremony).According to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who decided to postpone the Tokyo Games (not canceled), it seems that the opposition to the Olympics is anti -Japanese.(I don't think it's a "patriot" of 118 times in the core parliamentary parliament in the national management ...It is certain that there is a simple binary conflict such as "patriot / anti -Japanese" (where does the simplicity of "patriotism, it's bad if it's anti -Japanese" comes from.Is it?).

I wrote it for a long time, but what I want to say is that "the Olympics enjoy the Olympics and political."It was held by local governments and governments, and for that purpose, a large amount of tax (including national taxes but also national taxes) was introduced to ministries and agencies.There is.Still, if you enjoy the Olympics, that's a way of thinking, but if the number of deaths or Delta shares spreads (it's not strange), you will be responsible for that responsibility.。I don't see the Olympics because I'm so flat.No matter how much my favorite Sonic says.

The meaning of using game music at the opening ceremony of this Olympics

No matter how long you want to keep, it is difficult to block any information about this Olympics. It is said that various game music was used at the opening ceremony. I don't know the details because I haven't seen it and I don't see it in the future, but it seems that the song of "Dragon Quest" by Sugiyama Koichi also played. Although it is not a comparison, Sugiyama Koichi's "Olympic spirit" is not inferior to Keigo Koyamada and Kentaro Kobayashi, who have been resigned and dismissed because they pointed out past problems and acts. It is not surprising that the eyes are sensitive, including overseas, and it will be accused of the significance of the use of his songs in the Olympics, and such reports are scattered overseas. It will be done. If you are misunderstood, it's not a matter of playing "Dragon Quest", but it's not the case, but it's appropriate for the Olympics.

There are various ways to replace the large number of necks that have occurred in the last few days. Although criticized as "cancel culture", the Olympics itself is an event that is operated based on the philosophy of the "Olympic Charter" in the first place. If you don't like political collectness, why not first criticize the Olympic Charter and criticize those who attracted such an event. I think this is not a cancellation culture but a lizard. Who quit the appointed person and person in charge? The minister who made a compatible remarks in Nazi Germany (much more recently than Kentaro Kobayashi) has not quit, and comes here (known for the bargain sales of questions), is the honorary advisor to Yoshiro Mori. It seems that it was up.

As we know in the past year's news, "The essence of the Commercial Olympics is evil, and the music created by discriminants should flow", and Koichi Sugiyama will be more suitable. 。 However, the opening ceremony also used various other songs. The "Final Fantasy" and "Saga" series should be an anti -aggressive series that kills "kami", has an environmental terrorist, and resent the structure of the world itself (of course, interpreted. Okay, at least I think so). In the case of the "Dragon Quest" series, the other works also have a short -circuited message of goodwill (evil should be destroyed, and if everyone unite and disappear, there is no need to consider small problems). I guess there are few works to have. Such a thing is far from the context of the game, and it is hard to forgive as a video game fan that is used only in countries and local governments only in such times (I want you to remember the example of Kagawa Prefecture). was.

Above all, I was desperate for game writers in the same industry, game fans, creators, influencers, and in some cases composers did not see any problems that have been impressed by this matter. It was as shy of saying that the games were recognized as "the game was recognized." It is completely different from being recognized for being used conveniently for national power. It is the same as a rainbow dress appearing in a country where same marriage is not allowed, that is, it is said that "we will use it while it is worthwhile." It is really hard to forgive (although repeatedly), which is used unreasonably and is used only in such times (repeatedly) that the video game culture, which has been unjustly regulated, is standing on the bashing arrow. Games are not created by yourself, and the Dragon Quest series should have shown a sign of progress, not just one idea, such as implementing same -sex marriage in the latest work. It should be pointed out that there is a problem in borrowing the image of a video game as a result of such a political non -monolithes into an event with a "political" message.

Anyway, this opening ceremony was frustrating.If you have been involved in video game writings and you can't turn your critical perspective, it's a critical death, and how much value is your "game review"?With that in mind, I'm heading to the desk now.

The production of "game music" is just the simplicity that "only" was good

…… The language has become rough, but of course there is a position to “enjoy the Olympics”.It is possible, but I want you to enjoy it with the awareness that there is a political meaning equivalent to "opposition" (more or more).There are a variety of substances that can't be talked about just by simplicity, saying, "I'm a game fan and I'm purely happy when the music of the game flows."Some of the game fans may have died by Corona, whether direct or indirect.That is not all.Some family members have lost their corona, and some shopkeepers and their families have fallen into business difficulties due to time saving business.The new national stadium is rising on their blood and tears, and the "best entertainment that the state approves" is held.

Imagine such a subtlement, "imagination" for things that are not drawn, should be a weapon that loves all the creative games.Did we imagine various things by playing games?Don't push politics only for "opposition".Don't think that it is wise to enjoy without thinking, because only the difficult idiots are opposed.

There is a lower house election in the fall.Of course, the choice is free, but it is really a game culture that the old people do not think that "game fans will increase their taxes, but if they play game music, they will follow without complaining."It should also protect and respect.Please consider once again whether the Olympic opening ceremony really respected the game culture, and whether the Tokyo Olympics should be held in the first place.
