Japanese Olympic Bid?

The Japanese City Hiroshima has withdrawn its bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games. One of the reasons is that it is still paying off the debt from hosting the 1994 Asian Games. I think this is sad. I would like to see Olympic Games in Japan, home of the Shiba Inu, in my lifetime. Being born in 2005, I guess the 2020 Olympic Games will be the last I can see. However, there may still be a chance, since Tokyo has announced that it considers a candidacy for the 2020 Olympic Games. Tokyo has hosted the games before, but that is not necessarily a disadvantage. London will soon host the games for the third time. I do hope Tokyo gets the games.
