The song for “NHK Sports Theme 2024” by YOASOBI has been completed, and the title has been decided as “Stage Standing”. And the song will be aired for the first time on the “Japan Athletics Championships” broadcast tomorrow, June 28th (Friday) at 7:30 pm. To create the song, they asked three manga artists active in Shueisha’s “Shonen Jump +”, Taizan 5, Yuki Kirishima, and Haruno Hiuka, to create a work on the theme of sports. Then, based on the manga that was written, Jun Esaka wrote a novel, and created the song as the original novel. For “NHK Sports Theme 2024”, it is a heart-pumping guitar rock tune that was written with the image of the conflicts and excitement that athletes face. It is a song that will push you forward in situations where you need to take a courageous step forward, not just for athletes.
The camera will be used on NHK’s broadcasts of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games starting in July, as well as various other sports this year, so please look forward to it.

NHK Sports Theme 2024
▼YOASOBI comment
I have written a new song called “Stage Standing” for the “NHK Sports Theme 2024.”
We too have been deeply influenced by the athletes we see performing in various situations, and have been deeply touched and moved by them.
I am very honored to have this opportunity.
This song is not only for cheering on the athletes who will actually be competing,
We created this song with feelings that are common to us as artists, such as the conflict we feel before standing on the big stage and the excitement we feel at that moment.
I hope that I can be a support for the athletes, and I would be happy if the song can resonate with everyone who is cheering them on.
