Well. Good luck athletes.

I used to really love the olympics when I was a kid.

It will be LIFE-SAVING if you do not attend.

The emotions of the majority of Japanese people about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics somehow never reached the LDP politburo.

He looks as pompous as he sounds.

The total cost to Japanese taxpayers for the 2020 Olympics is now estimated to have been almost $25 billion dollars, almost 2.9 trillion yen.

The public should never have to pay for a professional sports event, and that is exactly what the Olympics is now.
Actually, the Olympics should pay to lease venues and for the costs of security and cleanup.
Its a disgrace.

As if a geriatric’s opinion is needed…it is not!

Do what you want. At this point, things are already in motion anyway.
I enjoyed the tokyo olympics so i will still enjoy this one. I wish all athletes good luck.

The Genocide Olympics will have a meaning the CCP are desperate to whitewash or bribe away.
Without spectators the Olympics are utterly pointless, except as a means of profit for the few and of course for the bank accounts of the IOC.

That picture of Muto is like looking at him through the barrel of a 44 mag.
Make sure all his kids don't ___ ! (you know the line)
Seems like an appropriate pose.

Does Japan have a spokesman who is under 100 and not an LDP toadie?
Seriously.
Gaijinshogun
They would say that though, wouldn’t they? Lol

Yes, without fans it is very meaningful. Please proceed. Nice way to justify your own sins by the way

Anal swabs are awaiting Olympic participants for entry. Hopefully biometric info from their samples won't be abused in any way.

How about bringing a someone under 100 years old?

Because if they can't be meaningful without fans, the Tokyo Olympics were not meaningful.

An old entitled man, justifying his greed, who would have thought! Hope he can take the money with him, otherwise seems kind of pointless.

So self absorbed. Just goes to show you even alone you are not 1m away from someone pleasuring themselves.

Seriously, who cares what Muto thinks? He presided over a failed Olympics.
Godan
Has he never heard of tatemae? Plus knowing who are in his social circles, it just means these people had to have profited in one way or another from the Games. The desire to hold them again means it must be truly easy money (our taxes, of course) for an elite few.
Fighto!
What a load of pro-China propoganda and nonsense from Muto.
Anyone supporting the Genocide Games is a China-enabler. Simple as that.
