Namie Amuro will be providing the theme music for NHK's coverage of the 2016 Olympics and Paralympics.
Amuro's new song for the Olympics is titled "Hero". The track is described as a powerful song that will resonate within the hearts of viewers.
"Athletes face this grand stage once every 4 years. Together with this dynamic music, we expect to boost people's expressions, and raise everyone's excitement," NHK said when explaining its choice.
Amuro stated that she is very honored to be singing the Olympics' theme song. She also called for the athletes competing in the games to do their best, and hopes her song encourages them.
"Hero" will also be used as the theme song for other sporting events leading up to the Olympics, including championships in gymnastics and swimming.
