A group of officials lowered their proud heads. They might not care about the locusts, but they were still very afraid of the prime minister, since all the power in Japan was in his hands.
"My God, have the Japanese really treated their locusts to this extent? What's the difference between this and feudal society? That guy, who seems to be in charge of this music competition, actually used his back as a cushion for the locusts?"
"It's really incomprehensible, but I love it! The more Japan makes a fool of itself, the more excited I get! The opening ceremony hasn't even started yet and there are already so many great performances! Hahaha!"
"It's outrageous. I can't bear to watch anymore. Japan's economic and cultural level is not low, so why are they so ignorant?"
"This is incredible! What magic does that short man possess that makes the Japanese so fanatical?"
The internet is in an uproar; even many Japanese students studying abroad covered their eyes and squatted on the ground crying, feeling discrimination and confusion from all sides.
On the scene, Matsunabeta lay prostrate beneath the podium, so much so that the audience could only see his head and feet. Tenko was furious; he was truly annoyed that such a foolish person could have such a name.
Normally, doing this would make Tianhuang feel the people's love and respect, but what kind of occasion is this? The whole world is watching. Are you trying to get yourself killed? This is utterly shameful.
But the clever Matsunagabe was completely obsessed. This was the first time he had ever seen a living Amako. Before, he had only seen it on television. He had been taught since childhood that Amako was a great and supreme emperor, the hope of the Japanese people, and the most noble person in the world.
Now, he can finally serve as a servant to this great locust, and a happy smile appears on his face.
"Damn it, that idiot is still smiling, I can't stand it anymore."
"The Japanese are such scoundrels. I threw up. I threw up my breakfast."
"Holy crap, this is an eyesore. Is it glorious to be stepped on? He actually had a happy smile on his face. Japan is so perverted."
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! I declare that with this one scene, Japan's opening ceremony is number one. Who can compete with us?"
The photographer was probably Chinese, otherwise why would he have taken a close-up shot of Matsunabeta with his smiling face?
Why.....
With a heart full of sorrow, Tenko slowly stepped onto Matsunabeta's back. The moment he stood on it, two extreme reactions occurred in the audience.
The Japanese people cheered, applauded, and shouted wildly, while people in other countries and around the world watching the live broadcast exclaimed in surprise and exclaimed "Holy crap!"
"Ah...ha...um..."
Tenko almost fell off Matsunabeta's back. He quickly grabbed the table, almost crying inside. He felt humiliated because after he stood on this bastard's back, he clearly heard the damned thing let out a soft moan.
"Cough cough!"
He coughed twice, trying to maintain his dignity, and then waved to his people, which, of course, caused another uproar.
After the scene finally quieted down, Tianhuang finally spoke.
This is the first time in a hundred years that the world has heard the sound of Japanese locusts; the last time was when they surrendered.
"Dear viewers around the world, my beloved Japanese people, and contestants from over one hundred countries, hello everyone!"
"I am the Japanese Locust. To let people all over the world know how much Japan values this music competition, I have come to attend this opening ceremony. Please forgive me if there is anything inappropriate."
"Now, please welcome our Prime Minister, Mr. Abe Kozo, to the stage with warm applause to join me in announcing the start of the opening ceremony."
Amidst the soft applause, Abe's third son appeared, jogging along. He had a smile on his face and looked like a kind, amiable middle-aged man.
In front of a global audience and the Japanese people, he acted very humbly, warmly shaking hands with Tenko and bowing repeatedly. Was it an act? He had to do it properly, to make the Japanese people believe that the Prime Minister also greatly admired and respected their Tenko.
Abe's height is normal, over 1.7 meters, so when he stood next to Amako, who was standing on Matsunabeta's back, they were about the same height.
"Prime Minister Abe, shall we announce it together?"
"I am more than willing to serve you, Your Majesty!"
Abe feigned a look of fear and flattery as he stood with Tianhuang, while Qinglang cleared his throat and spoke under the watchful eyes of the world.
"I hereby declare the Global Music Competition, Opening Ceremony, officially open!"
Bang...bang...
Mineral magnetism...mineral magnetism
Waaaaaah... Ahhhh
As countless fireworks burst, drums sounded, music played, and the whole audience went wild.
Tenko and Abe's mistress quickly left the scene. Matsunabeta struggled to his feet, feeling pain in his back, but he gritted his teeth and persevered with a smile.
The Japanese etiquette delegation then took the stage in the huge circular plaza, where they first introduced music delegations from all over the world.
"Ah...this is our North American representative group. They will be competing with famous North American singers and musicians such as Stevens, Miles Jackson, Taylor Swift, and thirty other people from other countries."
Flags are flying over North America.
"Ah, next up is our South Korean team in area three. They represent Korean, one of the world's five major musical languages. They are led by famous South Korean singers and musicians such as Kim Sung-hyun, Han Tae-joon, Kim Song-mi, and Jung Jae-suk, and dozens of South Korean singers are participating in the competition. Let's give them a warm welcome."
Representatives from South Korea stood up and waved in their respective areas, but few responded.
"Everyone, please pay attention! Next, we are going to introduce one of the five major musical languages, the Japanese language, and also the host of today's global music competition, the delegation of the Great Japan, along with a group composed of thirteen island nations. They will be composed of famous Japanese musicians and divas such as Minami Muto, Kō Aoi, Hideaki Koto, Emi Mikami, Riga Mii, and thirty singers from dozens of island nations. Please give them a warm welcome!"
Since it was Japan's home ground, there were quite a few people applauding and cheering in the audience.
"Next up is Spanish, one of our five major musical languages. They are an ancient region with a rich and diverse collection of ancient music. This time, they have sent Adele Lana, Redra, Dion Celine, and Mariah Carey Model (bringing thirty singers from twenty countries to the competition. We warmly welcome you all).
As the introduction proceeded, the host continued broadcasting.
