On January 26, the TOKYO MOVE UP Talk Special was held in Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi to publicize Tokyo’s bid for the 2016 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. Those appearing at the event included Governor Ishihara, women’s marathon silver medalist, Yuko Arimori, and members of the music group AAA (Triple A) which boasts huge popularity among young people. In front of approximately 550 visitors, mainly young women, Governor Ishihara expressed his passion for the Olympics, saying “I’m going to do my best to bring the Olympics so I ask you all to say that you want to have the Olympics in Tokyo.”
