Yep, highly unusual for Japanese to demonstrate like this, especially something as global as this with millions of people watching. I think it's around 80% of the general population that didn't want to have the Olympics (at least not this year).
Oh and I've spent a decade living there and travel there regularly so I do know what I'm talking about.
Now having said all of that, I really don't know what to expect with regards to how these Olympics will play out. I am personally disappointed that some key athletes are coming up positive. Then there are idiots that think it's a good idea to be taking drugs while they're in a country that is very strict about illegal substances. That's another subject however.
