Olympics Opening Ceremony features gaming music

The classic themes hit the world stage

During today’s Opening Ceremony of the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, the event featured a full soundtrack of video game music. The event, still ongoing, kicked off with the Dragon Quest main theme, while following up into the Final Fantasy battle theme. Music from Chrono Trigger even made the cut, as Frog’s Theme was played.

Other music included in the ceremony has been from NieR, Monster Hunter, the Tales series, and even Sonic the Hedgehog.

You can watch live on many stations and online, as well as recorded versions later in the day.
