The players of the Japanese national team appear as characters in anime visuals and move against strong opponents from various countries.

In the official explanation, the title \u201cKira\u201d carries the idea of \u201cstar-woven silk\u201d, which symbolizes the jersey and the hope of players, fans, and supporters moving together to transcend boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKira\u201d scheduled for release on services <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/oOeZdjimYn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">stream<\/a> on April 22, 2026.

In this 2026 Japan national team uniform campaign, Ado was placed as a creative partner and became the singer for \u201cKira\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tatsuya Kitani is a singer and songwriter who has been actively uploading works since around 2014. His name is also known through \u201cAo no Sumika\u201d, the song used as the opening theme of the anime Jujutsu Kaisen. For \u201cKira\u201d, Tatsuya Kitani handles Words &amp; Music as well as Arrangement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Tatsuya-Kitani-ADO.webp\" alt=\"Tatsuya Kitani - Ado\" class=\"wp-image-17888\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tatsuya Kitani - Ado<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The music credits for this song have also been revealed. The drums were played by Sho Sato. Other instruments were handled by Tatsuya Kitani. The mix was done by Norikatsu Teruuchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his comments, Ado said that when he first heard the song, there were many parts of the lyrics that felt close to him. He also highlighted the use of the pronoun \u201core\u201d, which he said was a new challenge in the recording process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ado also explained that during the recording he tried to deliver strong and bold vocals. He mentions the shout in the chorus and the low notes in some parts of the song as points that bring passion, energy, struggle, and emotions close to the player and athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Tatsuya Kitani said that from the beginning he wanted \u201cKira\u201d to move with a rock sound that had strong guitars. He also arranged the chorus so that Ado's vocal explosion could appear at its most pronounced point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After hearing the final result, Tatsuya Kitani said that Ado's vocal dynamics were in line with the image he had built up while writing the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tentang_Jersey_Jepang_2026\"><\/span>About the Japan 2026 Jersey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the song and CM, Adidas Japan also revealed concepts for the two main uniforms of the 2026 Japan national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the home uniform, the concept was Horizon. This concept is geared towards the journey to victory and to the image of the horizon that one wants to stay in the memory.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/playeatsleep.fun\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/home-uniform.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17889\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 2025 adidas Japan K.K.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>For the away uniform, the concept is Colors.
