sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua)SEKAI NO OWARI
The theme song for NHK’s 2018 PyeongChang Olympics and Paralympics.
The camellia (sazanka) is a flower whose meanings include “overcoming hardship” and “single-minded devotion.” Wherever there is someone chasing a dream, there is always someone watching over them.
Around a single moment of glory, there are countless smiles and tears, and feelings that can’t be put into words.
If you shift your perspective, you realize that everyone is both a protagonist and, at the same time, a supporting character.
“Sazanka” is a cheer for all people who walk their own paths.
