In 2020, Tokyo has been elected to host the
Olympic Games. Japanese prime minister and some Japanese people made speeches
at International Olympic Committee (IOC) Meetings. Japanese Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe said “It would be a tremendous honor for us to host the Games in
2020 in Tokyo, one of the safest cities in the world, now... and in 2020” (Mainichi
Japan, 2013). Also he said “Japan made a volunteer organization and began
spreading the message of sports far and wide” (Mainichi Japan, 2013). Besides, a
Japanese woman described we will welcome you with what we call “OMOTENASHI”. She
said “it means a spirit of selfless hospitality” (Mainichi Japan, 2013).
In Japan, there are some big problems such
as contaminated water. Contaminated water still leaks at Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Station. However, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made speech
about Fukushima at IOC meetings. He said “Some may have concerns about
Fukushima. Let me assure you, the situation is under control” (Mainichi Japan,
2013).Finally he presented about “It has never done and will never do any
damage to Tokyo” (Mainichi Japan, 2013). Tokyo has been elected to host the
Olympic Games after Japanese Prime Minister made speech.

Personal reflection
I was glad and very surprised about Tokyo has
been elected to host the Olympic Games in 2020. Some International people said congratulation
for me. I was so happy but at the same time, I was worried about Fukushima.
Fukushima still has some disaster such as contaminated water. However, when I
listened about speech by Japanese Prime Minister, I calmed down. Japanese
people struggle to recover from the devastation wrought by the earthquake. I really
want to help to recover by the earthquake and Tsunami. Next blog, I would like
to focus on opinion of foreign media and some expert about speech of Japanese
Prime Minister at IOC meetings.
