Translation of the article:
KAT-TUN × Sakurai Sho collab!
The song is called "Crystal Moment"
KAT-TUN will sing the theme song for "Nippon TV's 2022 winter season sports", whose title and rap were written by Sho. To enliven the moment when the Athletes will shine during the Beijing winter Olympics. Sakurai will be serving as a special caster of the Olympics on that same channel. This is the first time that he wrote a rap lyrics related to the winter Olympics, after about 14 years since when Arashi's song "Kaze no mukou e" was used during 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.
Sho said: "It was really refreshing to work on a production which is intended to be sung by somebody who isn't neither me nor other Arashi members."
About KAT-TUN: "If it's them, I'm sure they will be able to turn it into something ferocious and appealing."
Kamenashi Kazuya was delighted, saying: "As a team, I'm honoured to be able to connect with the sports, the Olympics and with Sakurai-kun".
Nakamaru Yuichi said: "I'm looking forward to sing the rap Sakurai-kun, who has been interviewing for the Olympics for a long time, imagined."
Comments' translation
Sakurai Sho's comment:
This is my second time, after 13 years, writing a rap lyrics related to the Olympics, the first time being in 2008 with "Kaze no mukou e" for the summer Olympics in Beijing.
The image of the title comes from the moment when the players' daily efforts crystallised and shine through the world of ice and snow.
It was refreshing to work on a production which neither me nor the other members of Arashi would have sang.
We have tried to compose it as "a rap KAT-TUN would sing", so I'm really looking forward to the kind of atmosphere it will give.
Being them, I'm completely sure they'll turn it into a ferocious and appealing work.
I hope that this song will remind the players, of course the staff, KAT-TUN and Hyphens of "2022's winter" when they listen to it.
I hope that this song will be the players' spark and will colour this winter.
Please, look forward to it.
Kamenashi Kazuya's comment:
I'm really extremely happy and grateful to be singing this theme song, furthermore it being written by Sakurai-kun, and I felt a little tense as well.
As a team, we are honoured to connect with the Olympics, the sports and with Sakurai-kun.
Honestly, it hasn't sunk into me yet that I'll be part of this kind of team, but so far, through my coverages for GOING, I was able to see the work of the various athletes and the paths they walk in.
Furthermore, starting from this, imagining this moment, we hope that this will be the first page of an amazing winter in 2022 for the players, everyone involved and all people supporting.
I will be singing putting all my feelings into this.
Ueda Tatsuya's comment:
To be engaging with sports and the Olympics, and to be singing this song is a great privilege which makes me happy.
When I heard of this, my mood had a great enhancement.
I will be singing this song with all my soul so when everyone will have heard it, they will say "It's Beijing's song".
Moreover, to have Sakurai-kun write the rap was really refreshing and it made me extremely happy.
I hope we will be able to sing such a song, properly completed after a long time of coverages for the athletes and that we will be able to convey our style in it as well.
Nakamaru Yuichi's comment:
It is a great honour to be able to give our support to the players, who give their all to fight all the games, with this song.
I'm looking forward to singing the rap lyrics that Sakurai-kun, who has been working on coverages for the Olympics for a long time, has created, and, digging in these feelings, we will create a song which will capture all of them.
We hope that the players will do well in Beijing and that this will cause a storm of emotions in Japan. I'll be cheering for them will all my body and soul.
Nippon Tv's sports department, Producer Saitō Kumiko's comment:
For this time's song, it was Sakurai-san who came up with this important title and it was KAT-TUN the ones who beautifully sang the feelings entrusted into it.
Among these, both Sakurai-san and Kamenashi-san work as casters for NipponTv channel and have made sports coverages.
I think that this is a one-of-a-kind and special song, packed with all the feelings that each of us had in the course of our interviews as well.
Sakurai-san chose the title of the song, "Crystal Moment", to express each moment which the leading parts, the athletes shine.
We hope you'll listen also to the rao very carefully so you can grasp all the hidden feelings in it.
The song is also aimed to be hummed by people>> of all ages, while still reserving KAT-TUN's coolness.
Let's all sing it together and support the players!
