“すべての人に、スポーツの力を”

“スポーツの力”とはー
する、観る、支える、すべての人の生活を、明るく豊かにする“光”
そんなスポーツの放つ“光”を、一人でも多くの人に届けるべく、
前代未聞の挑戦に情熱を燃やす故郷・佐賀県の姿に、誇りを感じ、
ワクワクし、勇気が湧きました。

そして、想像しました。

スポーツの”光”に満ちた、人々の姿。
喜び、悔しさ、興奮、笑顔、涙。
それぞれの“光”が感動を生み、命を輝かせる大舞台。
『Wow!!』は、その時に聴こえてきた“歌声”です。

あなたにも、一緒に歌ってほしい。
挑戦する、自分のために。
応援したい、あの人のために。
その瞬間、きっとあなたの命も、光輝くはず。

Artist Profile

  • Kazuya Sato

    Born on Japan's southern island of Kyushu, Karatsu, Saga Prefecture. His first encounter with the Japanese flute was as a junior high-school student, when he learned to play a traditional song for the local Karatsu Kunchi Festival. He then spent his teenage years immersed in music, as he learned to play the piano, the drums and the guitar. After graduating from university, he discovered the shinobue bamboo flute and felt mesmerized by its sound. He soon realized that this was the instrument which could best help him express himself, and thus chose the path of a shinobue bamboo flute player. In June 2012, he had the honor of performing during a special Buddhist ceremony at the Yakushi-ji Temple, Nara Prefecture, which is one of Japan's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Over the years, he has also been active as a songwriter. In 2013, he took part in the composition of NHK TV drama "Gochisosan"'s theme song, "Ame nochi Hareruya", which was performed by popular Japanese music duo Yuzu, and for which his original song Sakura-iro no Waltz was selected as motif. The next year, "Ame nochi Hareruya" was granted the Song of the Year Award at the 2014 Japan Record Awards. Kazuya Sato's music, while often associated with a feeling of nostalgia, is the product of his sincere experience living in the here and now. His subtle melodies, simple, yet marked by the distinctive sound of the Japanese shinobue, come together to form a gentle sound - somehow warm, somehow familiar, a wordless song that transcends all borders.
