I came in here to share my delight in seeing Mario at the olympics but this thread is weird. I like the arts! Just not the weird marketing debate going on for some reason.

Sports Climbing, Baseball, Karate, Skateboarding, and Surfing were added to the Olympics Sports catalogue for Japan. And Mario Party has done all of those.
Haha. I stop giving any fcuk with the marketing debate as i noticed i am arguing with a wall. So i just start pumping as much beautiful art as possible lol.
This five girls also looks soo cute lol. So many possible mascot for Tokyo Olympic here^_^
Never give a damn care about Abe here lol. But i thought Abe is beloved by Japanese people? I do remember some controversies on rearming Japan once again which had quite a protest. Especially when i am currently visiting Nagasaki, i remember several old people try to recruit me lol to join their cause and signs for the protest only to know that i am tourist lol.^^

I think Ive found it here:
http://yaplog.jp/masineiyuden/archive/895
Title is in Japanese ファミコン風雲児対ファミ拳リュウ
romaji is Famicon fuuunji tai Fami Kenryuu
Says its from the 80s so its a pretty old manga. I might have to go looking for this the next time I'm in a bookoff or mandrake. But looking on amazon Japan, its quite expensive so must be rare.
Lol, the publisher of the manga is Konami lol. What a twist.^_^
A great upgrade too lol.^_^

I have read some impressive mental gymnastics trying to spin this as a bad thing / waste of time etc. I think some of the people in this thread should attend the next Olympic Games with such gymnastic skills. You'd win the gold medal in every discipline.
Anyway, that was really cool and put a smile on my face.

No, people in Japan still do sports day salutes that way when they give speeches like an oath before an event. They never changed the salute, even though they know the salute has a different meaning elsewhere. Always strange when I see it in person myself here.
Well, Japan has always don't give a fcuk on what others are talking about them. Which in a way why they end up this unique lol.(In both good and bad way. wkwkwk.^^)
He is just sad that the true idol group is not represented here.^_^
W
Wrong lol. U should put VV ^_^
I felt the same too.
Mario is one of the famous things Japan has made. JOC probably asked to let them use it.
Nintendo might be even earning some money out of it to let them use it.
Its probably famous than any other characters including various animes Japan has made.
Like that blue cat Doraemon that also appeared, which isn't probably popular other than in Japan.
I've heard its been shown in Asia and in the US, but I've never heard of it being popular.
Mario definitely worth featuring in 2020.
Pshhh, that's only if you're making it as Reina and Makina.
I'm Kumo-Kumo up in this thread.
Lololol. On the bold. Doraemon is easily one of the biggest Japanese anime product in the world lol. Maybe it is not that famous in US for i don't know what reason, but it is easily the childhood of many kids in Asia here.
Hell, it's Stand by Me Movie take down Frozen in China lol. Thats how big the IP is.
http://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/06/...ut-the-freeze-on-frozens-popularity-in-china/
U should check the wiki too to see the unpopular show that already had 38 movies still on going till now lol.
Lol. I'm more on FreFre and KanaKana type lol.^_^

Doraemon is pretty large across Asia, I've seen it playing in India a bunch personally
Thanks for the input. I didn't know it was "that" big in Asia.
I obviously know its big in Japan since I've watched it a lot. (stopped watching after the voice actors/actresses changed though)
Honestly, I thought Dragon Ball or Kureyon Shinchan was a lot more popular in Asia than Doraemon lol
Doraemon is easily the biggest anime that encompass both child and adult market here. When that Stand by Me movie come out, many of us who are children during the anime broadcast time, had become adult. Many of us returned to watched that movie only to cry like baby.T_T I mean nostalgia and all the memories with the sad story hit us hard.T_T
Dragon Ball and Kureyon Shin Chan is also popular for sure but not on the level on Doraemon. Doraemon is even now the ambassador of Japan lol. Thats how big the blue cat is.^_^
i dunno where you're getting your idea of japanese politics from but it doesn't seem accurate

Doraemon was what my cousins grew up with in Vietnam (and sailor moon). Shit I remember taking a photo with a Doraemon at an amusement park when I was a kid.
And now they got this new series airing everywhere INCLUDING on Disney? He's eternal.
......Facebook?^_^
Lol. I even still remember the theme song of Doraemon which had been localized to my country language lol even after all this year. HNGHHH Nostalgia man.^_^
La la la. Aku sayang sekali Doraemonnn!!!>-< (La la la, i really love Doraemon. is the translation lol.)
Edit: Bahh dopost.

I like how the BBC described Mario as a cartoon character.
They are kinda not wrong though.
Haha. In the 90's to early 2000 eras, Indonesia had been a junkies for all Japanese products lol. We watch all their anime, till now had so many manga localized every week, follow their J-Drama and love their J-Pop lol. It is around 2004 or 2005, Indonesia is kinda burn out of Japanese product. It is also a few year in the future, Korean boom happened so now a days, Japan drama had been quite rare to show up on our television channel. At least, manga and anime are still alive.^_^
It is also probably because Indonesia biggest investor had been japanese lol. And also, JKT 48 also exist in Indonesia lol. And it is also official from the AKB 48 producer group.^_^

I loved the whole presentation. Whoever was responsible for the presentation obviously new not only Mario is famous world wide but also Captain Tsubasa and Doraemon are huge for a specific demographic in places such as Europe and Brazil.
The music was great too. I don't know about you guys but it left me super pumped for 2020!

Doraemon is HUUUUGE in Asia. They did a 100 Doraemon tour around Asian cities a few years ago, it was amazeballs.
Lol. it seems the damage caused by not including Sonic run deep lol.^_^
Considering how Nintendo name and popularity is rising currently and how Japanese government even mentioned the "Pokemon GO"effect, i can see why they choose Mario lol.^^(I mean, posing as Ash who is a jobber or becoming Pikachu is not a good idea right.T_T)
Really happy with Tokyo push and support for Paralympics here.^_^ I always feel the player is always underrated even when they are able to perform so great even with their disabilities.
Great artist there also. A bit sad that there is no Takehiko Inoue drawing some of the art there when he had a great work on a manga also about wheel chair basket ball called REAL.
At least, i can see Urasawa Naoki and Chiba Tetsuya drawing again lol. I had been missing Tetsuya here for so long after Ashita no Joe.T_T

What a coincidence, i am also a Reina believer lol.^_^
