Oguri Cap, Deep Impact—it feels as if these famous horses were racing across the turf just yesterday.
The background music that heightens the emotion, Gen Hoshino’s ‘Isshun’ (A Moment), is such a wonderful song.
I’ve heard that Hoshino wrote this piece specifically for the JRA 70th Anniversary brand commercial, which shows just how deep the sentiment for JRA’s history runs.
This is a moving song you’ll want to keep listening to—whether it brings to mind the great racehorses or the person you love.

Because it airs as the Arima Kinen approaches, their bright expressions not only highlight the fun but also evoke the excitement that something new is about to begin.
The song that further elevates the sense of joy depicted in the footage is JO1’s “JOin us!!.” Released on December 9, 2024, its poppy, energetic sound really stands out.
It’s a song with a positive vibe that gives a boost of energy to people working hard every day.
