Overcoming a series of member departures, the three-member idol group NEWS continues to thrive, with each member active across a wide range of fields.

Their 23rd major single, “BLUE,” chosen as the theme song for Nippon TV’s FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 coverage, lifts your spirits right from the opening chant.

The contrast between its driving, fast-paced arrangement and its grand choral work conjures up the speed and passion of soccer itself.

It’s a powerful anthem that makes you want to pump your fist as you listen.
