Kind of hosed up not to include Mario music when he's competed as an athlete in like a dozen events of the 2008/10/12/14/16/20 summer and winter Olympics.....

Given how leaked stuff about what the opening ceremony could have potentially been always seemed to have Mario in there somewhere I'm guessing at some point within the last 18 months the company just decided to pull out of the show all together.

It took five Smash games for Dragon Quest to appear because Sakurai was trying to run out the clock on Sugiyama. Cuz then they can finally start remixing that poo poo once he's dead.

Like it's a shame he's still alive, because his music is...was kinda nice to listen to when it's not synthesized fart trumpets.

This explains sonic

“Kobayashi’s Holocaust joke and Oyamada’s resignation were the latest to plague the Games. Yoshiro Mori resigned as organizing committee president over sexist remarks. Hiroshi Sasaki also stepped down as creative director for the opening and closing ceremonies after suggesting a Japanese actress should dress as a pig.”

This is on top of the composer resigning 3 days ago. Bad week for the olympics lol

Im genuinely perplexed that they borrowed noticeably from the leitmotif for Dragon Quest V’s battle theme (aka, his best one, from the most beloved entry in the franchise) in Yakuza: Like A Dragon and no one got cursed out or sued.

On the one hand this Olympics is looking like an utter shitshow in every way.

On the other hand, mad respect for frog's theme in the opening ceremony.

That and contractual obligations mean it's going to be profitable even if it's a complete shitshow and a bunch of athletes have their careers or lives ruined

Note that it's only really profitable for the IOC at this point, which is a deeply corrupt organization. No spectators or tourism mean that there's very little actual benefit in it for Tokyo, but the IOC wouldn't let them out of the contract.

There is no FYAD cabal, the only reason they are paying attention to you is because you can't shut the gently caress up just stop talking about it and them, take your 2 weeks of probes and then go on with your life. You're making it very apparent that you respond in a way that's funny, and people are going to keep trying to pull content out of you to laugh at you, the fact that you keep giving them it makes me think you're enjoying the attention on some level.
