The dance and vocal group Sandaime J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE captivates fans with their translucent singing voices and breathtaking dance performances.

Their 13th single, “R.Y.U.S.E.I.,” which was chosen as TCK’s 2014 campaign song, features an immersive sound that evokes the image suggested by its title.

The running man in the song’s interlude—now synonymous with the group—would be a spectacular sight when everyone dances it together at school sports days and athletic festivals.

It’s an upbeat dance tune that elevates the energy, even as background music during competitions.

Dai Hirai / The Door of Glory (Music Video)

The song that will liven up the sports day, where students showcase the results of all their hard practice, is “Eiko no Tobira” (“Door to Glory”).

It was released in 2022 by singer-songwriter Dai Hirai and was also chosen as a cheer song for the summer high school baseball tournament.

His warm vocals, which gently accompany feelings of doubt and anxiety, resonate deeply.

The words that cheer on the days devoted to preparing for competitions and matches will surely encourage the athletes.

It’s a piece that portrays not only wins and losses, but the beauty of striving itself.

Alongside its grand, unfolding sound, lend an ear to the message that supports students on their big day.
