"This is a song composed for all people regardless of race, gender, generation or national borders," said the track's general producer Ryosuke Imai.

"Initially, it was created with the desire to deliver the ties of heart and soul through sports with lively music for the historic Tokyo Olympics.

"Needless to say, the values and behaviours of people around the world have changed dramatically over the past year while corona awaited the release of the song.

"It is clear that the era of competition, in which money worship and capitalism are supreme, is over, and the era of co-creation in which we give each other is approaching. 

"We are about to enter a new era of after corona.

"We hope that this song will bring the energy and courage to survive in this new era to all the players and who have been hurt by corona."
