"Butai ni Tatte" (舞台に立って, lit. 'Standing on the stage') is an upcoming song by Japanese duo Yoasobi, set to be released by Sony Music Entertainment Japan on July 26, 2024. The "NHK Sports Theme 2024", the song serves as a theme for NHK's coverage of sports event broadcastings in 2024, as well as the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. It was written by Ayase and based on three short stories by Jun Esaka from three one-shot mangas: Taizan 5's Hanareta Futari, Yūki Kirishima's Parallel Lane, and Hirusagari Haruno's Owaranai Deuce.

Background and release

On May 22, 2024, NHK announced that Yoasobi would be in charge of "NHK Sports Theme 2024", a song using for the broadcaster's coverage of sports event broadcastings in 2024, including the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, taking place in Paris, France.[1] The song's title "Butai ni Tatte" was revealed on June 27 and it debuted on the 108th Japan Championships in Athletics broadcasting the next day, which featured the montage of Japanese athletes in various sports.[2] The song is scheduled for release on July 26, 2024, the same day as the Summer Olympics opening ceremony.[3]
