While L'Arc~en~Ciel provides the theme song for NHK's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and singer Ai Otsuka does the same for Fuji TV, this time Arashi's been appointed to sing the theme song for NTV. The song is titled, "Yurase, Ima Wo" and so far no other details have been revealed (as to whether it'll be released on CD etc..). The song will also be used as the winter theme for NTV's news show, Zoom In SUPER. This is the 3rd time that Arashi gets to sing an Olympic theme, the formers being "Hero" used for 2004 Athens Summer Olympics and "Kaze no Mukou E" for 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.

quote from Yuminami's translation of the song

I move against the headwinds
And it’s okay if I’m battered by the rain
Tomorrow the rain will subside
And I can wait for sun


Even that day that I was run ragged
The dream that always sparkled
So powerfully, so powerfully
Was always there


The times change before you know it
So it doesn’t matter anymore what others tell me
The ‘me’ that has become stronger since those times
Is surely waiting for me up ahead
The once monochromatic scenery
Has now beautifully taken on color
In front of me now
