EXPO EKIDEN 2025 theme song, newly written!
Miwa Yoshida’s poetry and singing voice will help you through any difficult times or happy times.
In the hearts of not only top runners but also all people,
It should arrive at Gangan Direct.
A melody that can be hummed by many people.
The arrangement is packed with lots of excitement and will shake your body.
My dream is to get people from all over Japan and all over the world to dance together with this song!
“Osaka LOVER” Dream Comedy celebrates its 35th anniversary.
“That sash is for the next future. ” will be backed up with the strongest songs.
■Naoko Takahashi comment
“ACN EXPO EKIDEN 2025” will feature approximately 20 teams competing, including those recommended by the organizer, such as the top schools in the New Year Ekiden and the top schools in the All Japan University Ekiden. I can’t wait to see what kind of drama awaits in the final battle between business teams and university students. Let’s support the athletes as they connect with their strong feelings and challenge their limits!
■Mizuki Noguchi comment
This event, which connects the past World’s Fairs and the current World’s Fairs, is a 55km long relay race in which top university and corporate teams participate!
From the past to the present, we are connected to the future through a single sash! With less than a month until the opening of the event, we will continue to make the Osaka/Kansai Expo even more exciting, and we will thoroughly explain the appeal of the men’s strength and speed!
■Suguru Osako comment
I’m happy to be able to be involved as a commentator on the stage of the Osaka/Kansai Expo, where the best relay race in Japan will be decided, transcending the boundaries of universities and business groups!
I will do my best not to lose to the runners so that I can convey the excitement of the local area to everyone.
