We are pleased to announce that Takanori Nishikawa has been selected as the artist who will perform the official image song of the Tokyo Marathon 2025 [to be held on Sunday, March 2, 2025]. As the first step, the 2025 race will focus on enthusiasm and has adopted "SPARK!" as the keyword to excite everyone. This represents the way each person's motivation ignites their heart and how their emotions will explode on the stage of the Tokyo Marathon. The posters will convey the Tokyo Marathon in a variety of exciting ways, showcasing not only the runners, but also those cheering along the course and the volunteers who support the event. The Tokyo Marathon will continue to run towards the 2027 race, becoming "the most enthusiastic race in the world. The official image song for the Tokyo Marathon 2025, “ALL UNITED,” was inspired by the concept of the Tokyo Marathon, “The Day We Unite.“ and is a wonderful song that encourages all runners, supporters, and cheering supporters to listen to it. On the day of the Tokyo Marathon 2025, why don't you listen to this song and experience the “Tokyo” where everyone is “united”, the whole city is enjoying the marathon, and various feelings are sparked?

I am thrilled to announce that I will be in charge of the official image song for the Tokyo Marathon 2025, an event that has gained worldwide recognition as one of Japan's most celebrated occasions. I hope this music will bring excitement to this world-class marathon, alongside all the participants and supporters. The course, which traverses iconic landmarks in the heart of Tokyo, is truly unique. However, the greatest charm of the Tokyo Marathon lies in the opportunity to meet and connect with its participants. With this in mind, we created this song ‘ALL UNITED’ to capture and celebrate the moments when the stories of each participant come together. Let’s unite all our hearts and make this event unforgettable! I look forward to seeing your “Spark!” at the finish line!"
