The Time Has ComeTANAKA feat. AYAKO-with MALAWI
Did you know that “The Time Has Come,” a support song for athletes competing in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, wasn’t created by famous singers or artists, but features the participation of Mr.
Nagakazu Tanaka, a former member of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV), as a co-producer? Mr.
Tanaka, who served as a JOCV volunteer in Malawi—known as one of the world’s poorest countries—came up with the idea of collaborating with Malawians to create an athlete support song as a way to give back.
Although the production took place entirely remotely due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Malawian music producer DJ Sley handled the music production, and after many twists and turns, “The Time Has Come” was successfully completed.
For behind-the-scenes stories about the production, Mr.
Tanaka has written in detail on his Note blog, so if you’re interested, please check it out!
