Our Song2
Since 2016, Pocari Sweat has collaborated with students through the Pocari Dance.
However, in 2020 students couldn’t gather in person, so they created a choral performance using selfie videos submitted by students on TikTok! The original song is by a band called “2,” known for its striking phrase, “Now!!” Centered around Yuki Shiotani, each participant sings from their own location and showcases their own dances and movements.
In 2020, a year when many things were given up or put on hold, the powerful voices of students living in the “now” are truly breathtaking.
