SMILE ~Like a Clear, Sunny Sky~Kuwata Keisuke
This is a song by Keisuke Kuwata created for the commercial broadcasters’ joint project “Let’s Do It Together.” Although the TV networks are rivals by nature, in front of Mr.
Kuwata they… The seemingly casually written lyrics serve as a cheer song not only for Japan, with the Olympics in mind, but for the entire world.
“Let’s keep moving forward without stopping, not losing to a spiteful fate”—even in these lines, you can sense Kuwata’s distinctly urbane style.
The music video, sung with the newly renovated National Stadium as its backdrop, is also striking, so do check it out if you have the chance!
