EDIT: video with timestamp - thanks /
-I’ll try to find a timestamp when it’s over. So cool!

It actually makes alot of sense to use video game music from well know Japanese developed games like the Final Fantasy series. They're good instrumental pieces that are at least somewhat recognizable to people around the world.
-
Kingdom Hearts as well

The bbc commentary mentioned before the parade started that there would be orchestral versions of video game music used as the background music. Been great to hear it all
ID: h68pnl8The Belgian commentators said it's "manga music". Cringe, I feel like writing an angry letter to our public broadcaster.
Hey guys, I think they tricked us gamers into watching the damn opening ceremony of the Olympics! WTH!?
-
they just played frogs theme from chronontrigger
ID: h68n77cAnd Robo's theme
ID: h6928bvProof Chrono Trigger is going to get a remake. I hope. Please.
ID: h69tqw5The line for the 2025 remake for Crono Trigger, replete with 3D cel shaded and 100% hand drawn Toriyama sprites starts here
-
here's a link with all the song played (japanese) :
here's for the translation :
ID: h68vit0Article that goes in depth as to what was played and why. Apparently they switched out a composer and director due to controversies like bullying children and joking about the Holocaust.
ID: h68oeq9The hero we needed.
ID: h68nh6hOh no, must've missed victory fanfare!
ID: h68qhblWoah, I never saw Soul Calibur spelled that way.

Here's the video of Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy songs:
-
Here it is, during Ireland.
-
Holy fucking shit, I was also listening and I was going all "what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck???" It was the battle victory music and another well known song!
-
I audibly gasped when I recognized it. I am fucking here for all of it!
ID: h68w1soI know. I was only half paying attention looking at my phone. And I sat up agog. Like. Did I just hear that correctly. Lol.
-
Anyone know the song thats playing now? It's sooo soo familiar I feel like I should know it.
Edit; I got it, Monster Hunter theme!
-
Other games as well! Heard one from dragon quest. Seems like the whole athlete introduction will be backed by video game fanfare from japanese composers.
-
Was played during Iceland and Ireland’s entrance if that helps 🙂
ID: h68su8aAs an Irish lad whos always loved final fantasy this has made my year lmao
-
Omg, when the flag bearers came it was Dragon quest, and I also heard Kingdom hearts 😀
-
wouldve been cooler if they played the junon parade theme hahaha
-
Apparently its SEGA, Capcom and Square music being used. Love the homage, although I find it really odd that Nintendo gets no representation.
ID: h68ntsmProbably didn't want to send themselves cease and desists
ID: h68tw6gPotentially Nintendo get played at closing ceremony? Maybe even exclusivity
ID: h68nnmfTo be fair, didn’t Mario actually appear and get a whole segment during the opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics in Japan a few years back?
But yeah, a little Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon representation would’ve made this even cooler.
-
Posted this in another thread, but they played Frog’s theme from Chrono Trigger too! The perks of being in Japan! Playing JRPG music. They played it somewhere between Iran and Uganda
ID: h68mw03quite sure robos theme just played a min ago! this is great all olympics need this music, epic just epic
-
They are playing a lot of video game OSTs. I heard Chrono trigger, Monster Hunter, Nier Automata, Sonic the Hedgehog and Kingdom Hearts so far
-
And I just heard the final fantasy theme song. Soo cool! If you ever look it up, look for the Hong Kong athletes that walk in.
Edited to show where to find it!
-
FF main theme just played with Kazakhstan's introduction
-
I just wanted to post this!
-
It's happening! It's happening!
-
I got a bit emotional when I heard the theme music. How much these games and music mean to me and hearing it at a ceremony like this is pretty special.
-
I heard that Victory Fanfare too and Dragon Quest's Full Overture was played before it!
-
They should play Suteki Da Ne at the closing ceremony.
-
I heard a theme from Kingdom Hearts 1
-
I noticed it as well! Was wondering if it was really it or if I was hearing things xD
I had the impression of hearing Kingdom Hearts' Coliseum music as well, but I think it's just my imagination
ID: h69nfzvbut I think it's just my imagination
Nope, it definitely played!
-
Main theme and victory fanfare afterwards
ID: h6aai8eNot available in the US? weird
-
This made me smile a lot
-
That Dragon Quest theme gave me such nostalgia
-
They just played the Main Theme for the series, too!
-
They played main theme a few minutes ago!
-
Very emotional right now. Today is triumph of Video Game culture.
-
I was sitting there saying I know this music! To my family 🙂
