Tokyo wasn’t announced to be the host city for 2020 until September 2013, and Free! started airing earlier that summer (and the novel had been around before that), but IIRC the candidate cities had already been announced before that, so perhaps they were banking on it? And even if it fell through they could pretend it was an arbitrary choice for date??
Reminder that I have free PDF summaries of HS1 and HS2 (the latter of which introduces Ikuya and was the basis for the very very loose adaptation that is Starting Days), so if you’ve never read the books and wanted a quick run-down, have at!
