The Japanese media has been quick to note that Tokyo’s clinching of the 2020 Olympics was predicted by no less a classic Akira, with the 1988 movie’s 2019 Neo-Tokyo being in the run-up to a singularly ill-fated Olympics.
With lines from the movie saying “next year’s Olympics will see it becoming a park,” signs bearing the legend “Tokyo Olympic Construction Area” and a variety of sports facilities reduced to rubble in the course of the film.
Whilst an interesting coincidence, having failed dismally in its predictions of a post-apocalyptic Tokyo (although further earthquakes and TEPCO’s incompetence could yet change this) riven by biker gangs, Akira is hopefully not in much danger of becoming prophetically uncanny.

FREE JACK?????~
Someone needs to ride in on Kanada's Motorcycle during the Ceremonies. Also MIKU HATSUNE MUST SING IN THE OP OR ED CEREMONIES!!!!
It's Kaneda, dude.
Yeah I was like "he spelled Canada wrong"
Or s/he wrote it in Finnish
You guys are commenting in the wrong thread. This isn't about Miku.
Akira is probably prophecy telling of tokyo's downfall.
And thus Tokyo becomes the Demon City of Tokyo. Anti demon ninjas will then be implemented.
So im guessing there will be rape demons to rape every female with tentacle penises.
Unless the Overfiend appears
but then steven will release a program to-- ....
TETSUOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I predict an opening ceremony with cherry blossom leaves
I feel bad for the swimming competition part...what if the judges are from KyoAni?
They will disqualify anyone with as man name and has a penis under the swimsuit.
TETSUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Japan representatives will win every single medal out there using brothel tactics : they will forbid foreigners access to their premises.
I wonder if that crazy ass Alex Jones picked up on this yet? because according to him The Dark Knight Rises predicted the "Sandy Hook Shooting"
god... I will move there soon. great ! I will be right at the center of the apocalypse! Yay! "KANEEEEEDAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" I need to get a biking license then... e_e;
Yeah it's a good time to go to J Town!!!! Planning a trip for 2020 Summer hahahaaha
3 x China Syndrome at over 5000C each one!
3 x China Syndrome at over 5000C each one!
3 x China Syndrome at over 5000C each one!
The world will end for sure.
perfect opportunity for Miku to reach the non believers.
In the ocular apparatus of a porcine quadraped.
Troll detected
They are gonna put China's Opening in the ground.
Bet you they're already coming up with the routine performances.
Miku Might Be There!
I think, in 2020 robot technology will be advanced enough to create a proper dancing robot, and Vocaloid 5 (both V1 and V2 were 4 years on market, 2002-2006 and 2006-2010) engine will produce realistic sound with minimal effort, so yeah, full Vocaloid idol concert is perfectly possible.
Yeah, nice dreaming. Unfortunately the only way the tech for a good robot is if billion were thrown into such research but no one seems to care enough.
Miku maybe, but im pretty certain that AKB will be performing...much to my dismay.
It'll still be tough to beat china in terms of opening ceremony, though if i had to bet one country to do it, it's the US or Japan.
By 2020 the only thing AKB will be performing in is Soaplands, Yakuza Whore Houses, and in porno's. Because by then they'll be washed up has beens.
AKB will probably take the Menudo approach and replace aging members or ones that get too opinionated.
Why stop there? Miku, AKB, Maximum the hormone, Classic Dancers, The military, a live-size mario, Robots, a giant gundam will fly throught the roof, e.t.c...
ITS FUCKIN JAPAN!!!
Ugh, I hope AKB doesn't perform. Japan has much better culture to show off than AKB.
Ever heard of money laundering, pal?
another one of these holier than thou internet gangster who talks about "yakuza and business" like he knows .... oh wait i dont know anything either but maybe yakuza are more or less ILLEGAL while businessmen are legal?
But yakuza won't let the chance to earn lots of legal money slip away, that's for sure...
i hope Mr children will perform
TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Itu Surga lu!!!
BINZAR!
Pretty cool coincidence.
Katsuhiro Otomo is a cool-modern Prophet :3
Better than Arthur C. Clarke I suppose?
HEY ARTHUR! WHERE'S OUR HAL!? WHERE'S OUR OBLISK!? AND WHERE'S OUR STARCHILD!!?
u mean Katsuhiro did..
PROTIP: Since most of you are underage and worthless, in 1988 a lot of people DIDN'T expect there to be a year 2020, except at the bad-end of a nuclear holocaust.
The lazy, slackass world you jerk off in today didn't exist because most people expected some crazy fuck was going to nuke us all. Thankfully, Mikhail Gorbachev admitted the Soviets were bankrupt and instead of pulling the trigger, he gave up and we all lived happily ever after.
... at least until international terrorism got invented ...
He should have pulled it though.
You've been pulling 'it' way too much.
lol.. AKB 7 years later? not a chance
It's gonna be Hatsune Miku.
they'll be called OBA 47
most of them will be 21 to 26 so you're wrong, and it's not like they won't recruit new members you fucking idiot
Yeah, screw that guy for making a simple comment, how dare he, the fucking idiot. Lol seriously what a dick you are brother anon.
