The display was created using FWsim, a computer simulation programme (you’ll notice the fireworks create no smoke in the sky), and was pretending to commemorate Mount Fuji’s World Cultural Heritage registration in 2013. The truth is the video was first uploaded in 2015, has nothing to do with the Olympics, and isn’t even real fireworks. We’re not sure who decided to create this in the latest of many fabulous but fabricated stories during the pandemic (those dolphins in Venice, priests dancing to Jerusalema!)… but it’s taken off faster than an Olympic sprinter! And the reason is that unfortunately this is fake. But there’s no mention of it on the Tokyo Olympic website or social media channels. The video is spectacular, and very enjoyable. Some added: “As much as I feel emotional watching this, but there is nothing we can do, except enjoy the Olympic fireworks set off under the beautiful Mount Fuji.” Please enjoy the Olympic fireworks under the beautiful Mount Fuji.” The message – copied and pasted by most people – announces very movingly that since the Olympics had to be postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic, unfortunately the fireworks for the opening ceremony could not be stored that long… and so “the Olympic fireworks are displayed at this time. Social media has been going crazy in the past 24 hours, sharing a video of what is said to be a fireworks display for the Tokyo Olympics in Japan.
