![]() It's called NIPPON because it's for soccer no doubt.
That and JPN was already taken :-p

![]() I'm not sure what NIPPON has to do with soccer specifically; I'm not really a sports guy. But isn't today when the song is going to be presented officially in Japan?

![]() The song just premiered on NHK a little while ago. I was unable to find a live stream of NHK anywhere, so I can't give any firsthand impressions.
A couple of Japanese twitterers made comparisons to "FOUL" and "jiyuu e michizure". Hopefully it gets uploaded somewhere soon. Also, this picture has been floating around. Single cover? ![]() Someone took screenshots of all the lyrics when it premiered on the soccer show if anyone wants to peruse their twitter timeline: https://twitter.com/417_apfel |

![]() B-Side will probably be the instrumental. Ball should have come with the preorder.

![]() Seems the B-Side is titled "逆さに数えて".
My poor attempt at translation is "Counting Backwards", which I'm sure will turn out completely wrong. |

![]() lol, it sounds absolutely nothing like FOUL except for the horn. I can see the comparison to "jiyuu e michizure", though.
The structure of the song is really weird assuming NHK didn't chop it up. A --> B --> C --> D --> B --> A (barely recognizable as the chorus with guitar solo/orchestra noodling) --> C --> B (key change) --> A (in English this time) Strange considering A's the chant part people could actually sing together.

![]() If this song never ever appears on an album I will be happy.
