sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua)SEKAI NO OWARI

Sakanaction “Sazanka”

Many of you may have heard it, since it was the theme song for NHK’s coverage of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics and Paralympics.

It’s a song I especially want people who work hard every day on club activities or studies, and who are striving toward their goals and dreams, to listen to.

Even if no one praises you or understands you, there is always someone watching, someone who will cheer you on—this warm, heartening song gives you the courage to believe that.
