Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Nice to meet you. I’m Yuko S. I teach yoga, meditation, and Laughter Yoga Music. I offer Laughter Yoga Music because ensuring children’s psychological safety fosters the development of their brains and minds and helps them cultivate their talents. I have produced many Laughter Yoga Music recreation sessions that simply let people enjoy laughter, music, and dance—connecting India and Japan via Zoom for both children and adults. My track record includes regularly held Nerima Laughter Yoga classes, regularly held Kichijoji Laughter Yoga Music classes, and occasional Laughter Yoga Music events. I’m currently involved in various kinds of work, and as I began facing myself more deeply, I continued studying NLP—sometimes called an instruction manual for the brain and mind—as well as the deeper unconscious realms of the psyche; I now also work as a psychological therapist. I love music, too. Back in my student days, I was such a big fan of the band LÄ-PPISCH that I even joined their fan club. I was a total live-music girl, spending most of my part-time earnings on indie concert tickets, lol. I listen to music across genres, and since I’ve lived in India, I especially listen to a lot of Indian music.

The Olympics, the world’s largest sporting event, has the power to move people’s hearts in any era.

We’re deeply stirred by the sight of athletes who have trained their minds and bodies with incredible discipline for this very day, giving their all on the stage of the present—and their efforts give courage even to those of us who are only watching.

What elevates those emotions even further is the presence of a great theme song.

In this article, we’ve selected renowned international tracks, focusing on official Olympic theme songs while also including commercial tunes from Olympic sponsors and other related songs.

Regardless of genre, we’ll bring you a variety of classics and fan favorites—enjoy!

The Champion ft. LudacrisCarrie Underwood

This is the theme song for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics by the American network NBC.

It’s a stunning collaboration between country singer Carrie Underwood and Ludacris, the rapper and actor popular from the Fast & Furious film series.

Carrie Underwood is known as a late-blooming star who broke through after turning 30, and she could well be considered a leading figure of the “strong woman who never gives up.” The lyrics are brimming with power and delivered with real punch.

In the end, you’re left thinking, “She’s the one who remains,” making it a convincingly cool and inspiring anthem.

The title “Hero” perfectly fits the Olympic spirit.

Athletes giving their all at the Olympics are truly heroes! But the song also says that the hero is within you.

It conveys the dream that everyone has potential.

One DreamSarah McLachlan

This Sarah McLachlan song was used by an American TV network as a support theme during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

The Olympics are where athletes keep pushing their limits—it’s a tough battle with oneself.

But it’s not only the athletes who take on such challenges; don’t we all face them in our daily lives? This song tells everyone who’s striving, “You’re not alone.”
