Bigger, better, sexier 2012 edition of the book, SECRETS OF THE OLYMPIC CEREMONIES by Myles Garcia, now out and available on amazon. It spills all the secrets on how these shows (from Berlin 1936 to Vancouver 2010) are put together. With over 150 photos and images, many of them never before published. Check out the website—secretolympiceremony
Shinano,our fatherland,the land of our pride. We have ten neighbors our land is vast and wide Nestled in the mountains that kiss the sky above Blessed with the rivers running through the land we love Matsumoto,Ina,Saku,Zenkouji Fertile farmland,rich with fruit and grains All that we could hope for, we get from abundant plains Seas of wealth with out an ocian Shinano, you are my homeland.
I have no idea on why the opening ceremony was held during the day, because since Albertville and Barcelona 92, they have to celebrate it under the moonlight
I was just quoting the wikipedia entry for Ken Ishii. Though I just recently read that the song is based on a song by Andrew Lloyd Weber called "When children rule the world".
I was an adolescent when I live the passions of these games of Nagano, also this edition was very special for me because for first time I watch on Tv the olympic winter games...and I loved it, since then I don't watch another edition like this...in the games of salt lake don't felt the same emotion, and Torino was not espectacular enough like Nagano

I love the part at about 59 seconds showing the crowd waving their flags in rhythm with the song. It is a lovely song.

ken Ishii is Tecno musician.
This song was crieted in 1899 lyrics by Retsu Asai composed by Sueharu Kitamura. And has been loved to sing in Nagano since then.

This march song is 'Shinano-no-kuni'(the Province of Shinano, the historical name of Nagano Prefecture.)
This song is De-facto anthem of Nagano.
