Ryota KuriyamaHello everyone.
Music has been part of my life since I was young. This culminated in
me composing "Real Victory." Everyone is looking forward to the Tokyo
Olympics and Paralympics which will be held in 2020.
Everyday athletes who will participate in the Olympic and Paralympic
Games work hard, overcoming frustration and disappointment. They give
us courage, hope and excitement.
As a person with a visual impairment, I wondered what I could do for
these para-athletes who are trying so hard. I put my feelings of
wanting to support them into this song.
What I want to convey in this song is that despite various kinds of
disabilities, everyone can make a difference in society. There are
things that only the disabled can do, and doing so we are able to move
people's hearts.
I chose "Real Victory" as the song title because regardless of
nationality, race, or disability, people who do their best go beyond
just victory or defeat and have the heart of really accepting one
another. That precious heart is the source of power that will move the
future. That is real victory.
Para athletes, please do your best and show us heroes! I want to see
with my heart.
And together, let's have the sound of Real Victory echo high up into
the Tokyo sky.
