Summer Olympics 2020 Opening Ceremonies Walk of Athletes includes selections from Kingdom Hearts

Leamax

The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics has begun with the opening ceremonies beginning on Friday. The opening ceremonies includes the Walk of Athletes, a period of the ceremonies where all the countries march into the stadium. Music for the Walk of Athletes includes music from various video games including Final Fantasy, Sonic the Hedgehog, Dragon Quest, and yes, even Kingdom Hearts had made the list! 

Olympus Coliseum and Hero's Fanfare from the Kingdom Hearts series have been featured on the Walk of Athletes. You can listen Olympus Coliseum in the background in this clip. [Thanks to KH13.com Staff Member HaakonHawk for the clip!]

The Summer Olympics, which was postponed from last year due to the pandemic will run until August 8th.

The team from my country also went to the music from Kingdom hearts.:) It's nice that this franchise has started to be considered so much that they play OST of this series of games at such major events.

Wow, wasn’t expecting that!

If KH is big enough for the Olympics, then it’s certainly…becoming more mainstream, but also it’s certainly big enough for Smash (not that I expect it, but still).

Love it. Kingdom Hearts getting attention like this puts a smile on my face. Olympus Coliseum is such a great track and super fitting too. Very well done.
