FILE - In this Nov. 24, 1964, file photo, Emperor Hirohito, background, reads prepared speech as he formally opened the 47th extraordinary Diet (parliament) in Tokyo. Every Japanese of a certain age has memories of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Emperor Naurhito, whose grandfather Emperor Hirohito opened the Games, has his own memories. He was a 4 1/2 year-old child at the time and reminisced last week with guests, including American first lady Jill Biden. “I myself have a lasting memory of the closing ceremony of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, where athletes from different countries paraded together shoulder to shoulder, not divided by country.” the Emperor said.
TOKYO (AP) From Emperor Naruhito on down, every Japanese of a certain age remembers the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Even younger Japanese connect through parents or aunts and uncles who stored old photos, told stories or recalled getting a television set for the first time to watch the Games.
These were the first Olympics broadcast live using satellites and the last to be run on a cinder track; a bridge between older Olympics and the modern.
There are recollections of new bullet trains, urban expressways going up not all of them completed for the Games and complaints about cost overruns, just like today.
