*This is a Special Presentation of CDS Sports*

Good Afternoon and Welcome to Okashi for this great celebration of sport around the world, the Adonian Games, live on top of the Adonian Games Broadcast

Center on top of the tallest Skyscraper in Okaiken, the Soma Center, overlooking the beautiful Sentoku Park. I'm Kenjin Sato.

And I'm Asami Hiroyuna.

We will return in the Sentoku Park Stadium in a moment but first these messages.

Kenjin: Welcome back. In a few short moments the Adonian Games Opening Ceremony will commence. Please Enjoy the Show!

Ladies and Gentlemen, We are only two minutes from the Opening Ceremony of Okashi 2012 Adonian Summer Games!



Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the Okashi 2012 Adonian Summer Games!



Asami: Red Paint Drips begins to show up in the floor. It actually symbolizes Okashi as an important cultural capital of Adonia, with the

paint drips symbolizing dedication, hard work and sacrifice.

Kenjin: Looks like blood drips to me...

Asami: Actually, it caused controversy when samples of the opening ceremony were shown to the public because it looks like dripping blood.

The OOC stated that since red is one of Okaiken's most important colors, they would not change the color of the paint drips.



Kenjin: More paint drips appear on the floor of the Sentoku Park Stadium. The floor is actually a technological marvel on its own since

this is the first time a 3-Dimensional Holograph was used in such a large scale.







Asami: The stadium floor is starting to fill out with more paint drips...



Kenjin: And it appears that a white stroke is starting to appear

Asami: It looks like it's the Okashi 2012 Logo.









Kenjin: Yes it is... On the other hand, fireworks appear and the countdown for the Opening Ceremony Begins Now.

---

Asami: As the music begins, the background also changes and text begins to appear on the stadium floor.

Kenjin: On a side note, the music is actually performed by the Yoshida Brothers, who will perform later tonight in the Artistic Segments.

They also composed the theme music of the Adonian Games.





Kenjin: The Countdown is about to begin!

Asami: Welcome back. The artistic segment is about to begin. We'll take you back live to Sentoku Park Stadium.





Kenjin: In this section of the Artistic Segment, it represents the Journey Around the Planet, from the beginning of life to the present

day. It seems that a model of the planet is starting to rise.

Asami: This section of the artistic segment seems to be a little more different than the others we have seen over the past Adonian Games.



















Kenjin: We'll be back in a few short moments but first these messages.

Asami: This is a more traditional piece, performed by the Kodo Group of Okaiken, a well known percussion club, and Kenjin those drums are

very big indeed.

Kenjin: Indeed, and some of the performers need serious strength just to produce these drums



Asami: As you can see, we are starting to see one of Okaiken's mythical creatures, the Sanese Water Dragon, which is rotating quickly

around the performers.









Kenjin: Another of Okaiken's most revered creatues, the Koi, appears on the floor of the Sentoku Park Stadium. It appears to be

surrounding the water dragon, which I believe represents the Inland Sea of Mitoyagi while the Koi Fish Represents the 4 major cities in Okaiken: Haru, Iban,

Okashi and Toyoshi, all located on the shores of the Inland Sea of Mitoyagi.





Asami: Another Fantastic Conclusion to the Performance by the Kodo Drummers. Now We are treated with more fireworks, a symbol of Okaiken

being born with fire.









Asami: We'll be right back after a short break but first your local news update.

Kenjin: Welcome back to the Opening Ceremony, as we prepare for the Journey inside Okaiken, from nature, to small towns, to castles, each

showing the history of Okashi from it's humble beginnings as a fishing hamlet to a major town to the modern metropolis.



Asami: The Yoshida Brothers Perform their second instrumental tonight with "Fuyu no Sakura", also known as Cherry Blossoms in Winter. Also,

the performance begins with a person fishing on the banks of the Okashi River, Okaiken's largest river and an important artery of the Okashi Valley.





Kenjin: It seems like that the spirit of the fisherman lights up different spots of the stadium. The spirit symbolizes light and the high

spirits of Okashians

Asami: That's right Kenjin, also, the spirit also represents travel and trade, symbolizing Okashi's role in the economy of the small

kingdom.













Kenjin: According to legends and tales, the location you are seeing right now are the "Pointed Rocks", where the settlers established the

little community of Oka.



Asami: It seems like the forest disappeared, and I can see a little bit of housing in there.



Kenjin: You are right. Now we see Okashi on the site of the "pointed" rocks, which is now replaced by a booming willage. Also, little

boats begin to appear and crowd the shores of Okashi, which symbolizes the fertility of the river, which is home to thousands of fish.



Asami: It seems like the village disappears. but the music continues playing.







Kenjin: Enjoy the fireworks and we'll be back after these short messages.

Kenjin: Welcome Back. We continue on with the Artistic Segment while Asami leaves us as she was selected as one of the cauldron lighters.







Kenjin: A number of people wearing Kendo armor has now entered the floor of the Sentoku Park Stadium while smoke also begins to flow on

the stadium. A faint figure of the Okashi Castle can also be seen.



Kenjin: A number of people wearing Kendo armor has now entered the floor of the Sentoku Park Stadium while smoke also begins to flow on

the stadium. A faint figure of the Okashi Castle can also be seen.



Kenjin: We can now see the castle more clearly now...
