I was looking at the [heisei wiki
page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisei_period) and I wondered how you would
refer to future dates in the japanese calendar?

For example would 'The 2020 olympics' be '[平成]{へいせい}３２[年]{ねん}のオリンピック'? Is
there some standard?

If this was on a web page and an era change occurred would you need to update
it?

Future dates in the Japanese calendar
平成 will last until the Emperor's death. So, until that happens, every future
year is stated as 平成. If he were to pass away, then there would be a new name
decided upon, and that year would be the final year of 平成 (up to day of his
death) and the [元年]{がんねん} of the next era (starting from the day after his
death). Once the change happens, obviously any dates that go past the end of
平成 would have to be updated.

For international events, though, there is a tendency to use [西暦]{せいれき}...
