Mikeru On Japanese Music Today

While L’Arc~en~Ciel provides the theme song for NHK’s coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and singer Ai Otsuka does the same for Fuji TV, this time Arashi’s been appointed to sing the theme song for NTV. The song is titled, “Yurase, Ima Wo” and so far no other details have been revealed (as to whether it’ll be released on CD etc..). The song will also be used as the winter theme for NTV’s news show, Zoom In SUPER. This is the 3rd time that Arashi gets to sing an Olympic theme, the formers being “Hero” used for 2004 Athens Summer Olympics and “Kaze no Mukou E” for 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
