Re "will they be ready?":

OT but FWIW in downtown Tokyo there's a big building (taking most or all of a block) well under construction (with work being actively done), maybe 20-30 stories at the moment, with signs (in Japanese that I don't understand) saying Tokyo 2020 Olympics and ParaOlympics. It's located between the Imperial and the Peninsula, facing Hibya Park. To me, this looks like Japan's preparations are well under way, although I cannot guess the purpose of the building in that location. Surely the Olympics cannot require so much prime office space?
