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.
