If you’ve been glued to the Paris Olympics as of late, and consider yourself a keen fan of action RPGs from the past few years, you ears probably perked up during the artistic swimming last night. That’s because that the Japanese team competing in that event decided to pair their performance with a certain song from Nier Automata of all things.
As noticed by spectators last night, the Japanese artistic swimming performance was paired with A Beautiful Song from the game’s official sountrack. Posted to Twitter, this was then noticed by lead singer for the OST Emi Evans, as well as Yoko Taro himself, both showing appreciation for the Olympic cameo.
The Japanese team would ultimately take home 4th place, sadly missing out on a medal by just six points. Nonetheless, it was a great show worth watching. Come for the Nier soundtrack, stay for the sports! The winners of this event were China, followed by the USA taking silver and Spain taking bronze.
