"Congratulations on the Gold Medal! Special Diamond Veil"

Tokyo Skytree illuminates with gold medal-inspired lighting to celebrate when Japanese athletes win gold medals.

Furthermore, accepting a proposal from the Brazilian government, lighting inspired by the Brazilian and Japanese flags will also be displayed to celebrate the Rio Games and connect them to the upcoming 2020 Tokyo Games.

 

Lighting Inspired by the Flags of Brazil and Japan

Tokyo Tower will illuminate a special light display titled "Cheering for Team Japan! Special Diamond Veil" on the days of the Olympic and Paralympic Opening Ceremonies to pray for the success of the Japanese athletes and send them encouragement. When a Japanese athlete wins a gold medal, the "Congratulations on the Gold Medal! Special Diamond Veil" will be illuminated.

How many times will we see the gold medal celebration lighting during the Paralympic Games, which begin on September 8?
