Tokyo Olympic 2020 : What are your life going to be in 2020

The International Olympic Committee, IOC, announced that Tokyo became a place for Olympic in 2020 among 3 candidate cities, Istanbul, Madrid and Tokyo. These 3 candidate cities gave their last presentations to IOC for appealing of their passion of holding Olympic at their cities in 2020. According to the news afterfoward the decision, there was a concern of economy stat in Madrid, and there was a concern of politics in Istanbul, but there was also a concern of Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. Each city has something concern, but the prime minister, Abe, were able to show that the power plant is under control by their effort and guarantee that it is safe to hold the Olympic in Tokyo. IOC chose Tokyo because Tokyo will be able to host the Olympic for sure finantically, politically and safely.

Many young people know that Japan held Tokyo Olympic before in 1964, but it's around 50 years ago, so we young people including me only know it through TV, history class, and some media. So it's so fun just by imaging it because we Japanese people will be able to show many people how wonderful city Tokyo is as well as Japan is. Many people visit Japan every year, enjoy Japan and know Japan, but we Japanese people would like more people to know Japan more about people, culture and so on. So this is chance for Japanese people to do that.

One more thing which we expect from holding the Olympic is to get Japanese economy back normal. That's because the last Olympic at Tokyo was definitely tipping point for Japan economy growth in order to develop our economy to one of top economics countries from poor country. This was miracle when we consider the lost of World War II which devestated Japanese country completely. Since that time, Japanese economy grew amazingly and it used to be called "Japan as number 1", but it did not last forever. Last two decades, Japan economy has suffered from a long recession since the collapse of the bubble economy coming from real estate money game due to human greedy. The next Olympic at Tokyo has huge potential for people in the world in terms of making our life better throughtout hosting the Olympic from preparation to the end. It will give us huge positive effects for sure. At the same time, we also have to consider negative effects.

Since the announcement, there is one thing going on Internet among Japanese people. Japanese people, especially young people, start to consider how our life is going to be in 2020 as well as what life they want to achieve in 2020, and

post what they are thingking now on Internet. It's good thing not only for young people but also for everyone to consider the their future and what they want to be in the future. At this time, it has been triggered by the decision of the Olympic, but I hope that it is not temporal emotional behavior but it contitue to influence people's thinking for long.
