Even in difficult situations, its powerful determination to keep moving forward, together with the orchestral arrangement, gives courage to listeners.
Released in July 2012 as Ikimono-gakari’s 24th single, it was selected as NHK’s theme song for the London Olympic and Paralympic broadcasts.
The track is also included on the album “I,” captivating audiences with its majestic scale and rich, resonant sound.
It’s a perfect match for parachute-ball (paraballoon) performances as well—its dynamic melody and strong message will highlight children’s energetic movements.

This is a signature song by the folk duo Yuzu, known for its moving melodies that linger in the heart and lyrics that paint the radiant moments of life.
It’s a warm piece that gently embraces everyone’s dreams and the joy and hardship felt along the journey.
