After one year postponement, Tokyo Olympics officially starts on 23 July 2021. However, the games are hosted while Tokyo is in a state of emergency due to increasing COVID-19 cases. In the latest poll, 58% of respondents in Tokyo oppose holding the Games. Also, a series of scandals on past human rights issues in relation to the Organizing committee's personnel have been revealed. In the most recent cases, the composer Keigo Oyamada left the team creating the ceremony after his past interviews on bullying his disabled classmates were revealed. Likewise, the opening ceremony director Kentaro Kobayashi was dismissed after his past footage making jokes about Holocaust was emerged.
