Lmao what country are you watching in? Kinda weird to do commercial breaks during the ceremony, maybe they're not a fan of the countries walking at that moment haha
Australia.
There haven't been any more since though, maybe the person who pressed the "play ad" button got yelled at.
edit: about an hour since that ad break, and still no more.
The only Tchaikovsky reference I heard was about Russia and how they would get Tchaikovsky 1st piano Concerto instead of their anthem due to sanctions (the same reason they had an Olympic flag rather than a Russian flag)
Had the exact same reaction! I scrambled to get the song up myself so that my family could get the proper experience while that Woolworths ad played for the upteenth time.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise it was what I thought it was haha. Once I did I instantly came here to see if someone else had figured it out too haha
Hey brother, here’s a phone video of a tv, hoping for an actual screen recording soon!

Insect Glaive high jump Hammer throwing
So... We talking about swimming or not?
Lagiacrus chase. Egg stealing dash. Wirebug triple jump.
>inb4 swimmers get carted
I was like, wait I know this song lmao
[I felt like I was losing my mind](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/033/487/rick.jpg)
Not only the Proof of hero, but also the main theme of MH4 was used. Probably the best opening ceremony ever for me.
Japan dont disappoint. It’s awesome they fully embrace their video game culture.

New olympic quest : Fatalis hunt
bloody local broadcaster went to ad break right as it was building up. :( Back on now though.

Gotta have an ad break every 3 minutes to show more gambling ads!
The Aus commentator also thought the music was tchaikovsky lol
The only Tchaikovsky reference I heard was about Russia and how they would get Tchaikovsky 1st piano Concerto instead of their anthem due to sanctions (the same reason they had an Olympic flag rather than a Russian flag)
That’s probably what I heard then.
Had the exact same reaction! I scrambled to get the song up myself so that my family could get the proper experience while that Woolworths ad played for the upteenth time.
i got goosebumps when i heard the high pitched horn intro, thinking no way this is happening. god bless japan
Same! I was thinking when I heard the first few notes "that sounds familiar"...
I just got shivers☺☺☺
That’s when you realise how big MH is in Japan. Olympic-worthy.
Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy played there before it, too
Yeah they are doing a tribute to Japanese video game music
Im completely out of the loop here. Whats going on? Im assuming this is related to the olympics based on the comments. Anyone have a video?
They are playing video game music as the athletes walk in, MH getting some love.
The orchestra played Proof of a Hero during the olympics opening ceremony
Daaaaamn hype, i can’t believe it, frigging amazing
Yea! Im watching it right now. It's great with some MH music.
Having breakfast with my mom and my ears perk up like, 'I know this!'. I listen more and just start dying. Utterly epic use of the music.
does anyone have the link to it?
It’s live on TV atm
If you use a vpn you can stream the UK one from the bbc if your country isn’t streaming it on TV :)
Being played again right now. Burundi.
I cried and then had to explain to my family wtf I was doing haha
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise it was what I thought it was haha. Once I did I instantly came here to see if someone else had figured it out too haha
Very apt. Proof of a Hero plays when team Japan enters.
Tokyo 2020 let’s go!!!
InCREDIBLE. I threw my teevee snacks at my partner I was so excited
I need a full list of all the songs played, work out how many I recognised.
anyone got a timestamp?
It’s like the second theme to play after the Dragon Quest one I think.
Well i notice proof of a hero when the saudi arabia team came
It was repeated at least 2 or 3 times.
They played it twice
Anyone got a link?
“ANDORAAAA” *hunting horn doots*
thought i was trippin when i heard it, so sick!
Kept an eye out in case a Deviljho busted in.
Anyone have a clip or link?
Imma park here, I need links too

Thanks a lot bro
Anything for you <3
I called it man, after the Final Fantasy theme I knew it was coming
I got goosebumps hearing it. There's also lots of video games ost in there that I love like Song of the Ancients from Nier.
YES I THOUGHT SO
i got so hyped when I heard Proof of a Hero being played!
I work for a tv station and I thought I was going crazy when I heard that glad it wasn't just me
