In 110,000 Volunteers registered to support Tokyo Olympic, nearly 1/10 was said to have given up.
Others abandoned because nowting the movement around Tokyo is too risky by the number of Covid-19, while the country's vaccination program is still delayed.
For those who stayed, although many volunteers retreated, the work was still very gentle, even too idle.
As a result, many volunteers now feel they are just like the audience reluctant or unexpectedly to take on new roles.
Instead of led visitors to visit, Nagano is irriting a tree in Fujisawa station and caught the video of her video in the white blue uniform to encourage the online athletes.
Michels, 26, who are willing to exceed 350 km from where she worked in Yokkaichi, south of Japan, to Tokyo, gave up when she knew that she could not get on time.

It seems that the organizers expect women to find ways to solve, as they often do, she said.
Parker is not the only one who is concerned about safety.
The feeling that the safety of volunteers was not interested by the organizers to make those who were extremely enthusiastic, like Michels, felt depressed.

Obviously I will have a very different view if I haven't been fully vaccinated.
Ayako Ueda, 48, is another volunteer who is still eager and enthusiastic with his role at the Olympics.
I don't think Olympic will be held in Japan once again in your life, female media consultants, said.
But Ueda admitted that she would have a different feeling if she was not full of vaccines.
If I'm not vaccinated, I'm not sure whether I can continue to be a volunteer or not because the mission requires me to close close to athletes and I have to move by public transport to workplace
