WOWOW will be broadcasting an incredible amount of European soccer matches during the 2022-23 season, including the Spanish LaLiga starting August 13. The UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League competitions will decide who is the best on the continent, and many are ready to tune in. The WOWOW European Soccer Theme Song for this season will be Fearless by the globally popular performer Miyavi, known to many as the samurai guitarist. Fearless was written by Miyavi himself. The artist formerly played soccer for Cerezo Osaka and channeled his memories of the competition and supporters into his music and lyrics. The song will begin airing during matches starting with the UEFA Super Cup 2022: Real Madrid vs. Frankfurt match on August 11. This season will be even more exciting than usual, with the World Cup scheduled to take place this November and December in Qatar.
Comment from Miyavi
“As a child, I wanted to become a professional soccer player and I practiced kicking a ball around every day. As a soccer fan, I imagined a song that would be played in a stadium and that everyone in the audience could sing along with. I created the music and melody to inspire listeners to feel a sense of unity and to soothe the soul. When I’m about to perform live or participate in a photo shoot, I always feel that sense of nervousness before a fight–that fear of failure before a challenge. I think that’s something everyone has felt at some point. All we need to do is put in the energy and work to overcome it. I hope you’ll sing along with the song, even at home in front of your TV.”Information

The Women's Empowerment League, or WE League, will be the first professional women's football league in Japan. Set to begin this year on September 12, BEAMS International's women's streetwear brand X-girl is designing the uniform for seven of the 11 participating clubs including Mynavi Sendai, Omiya Ardija Ventus, Chifure AS Elfen Saitama, JEF United Chiba, Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara, AC Nagano Parceiro, and Albirex Niigata. 'Wear the Hope' is the design concept behind the uniforms. Hoping to offer women courage, the uniforms embody the potential of women, with each club and its members' personalities expressed through colour and distinct design. It's a combination of soccer and street styles that screams 'this is definitely by X-girl.'
JEF United Chiba
Using a nanohana yellow as its base, the JEF United Chiba Uniform incorporates a classic camouflage design in the shape of Chiba that elicits a feeling of walking through the prefecture where the team are from.Albirex Niigata
Albirex Niigata's uniform colour is derived from Albireo, the double star in the head of the constellation of Cygnus which the team's name originates from. It's a combination of orange and blue, which makes one think of the gorgeous setting sun of Niigata above the Sea of Japan, and white, which is a reference to the swans returning home as well as the snow during winter.Nojima Stella Kanagawa Sagamihara
The corporate colours of Nojima blue and Nojima red are used for this uniform as a nod to Nojima, the electronics stores and parent body of the club located in the centre of Sagamihara. It has a futuristic design inspired by the digital world and electronics.AC Nagano Parceiro
'Parceiro' is Portuguese for 'partner' and refers to the partnership between the club and the region. The uniform uses triangles as its design base to represent three entities: the club, its sponsors, and its supporters. It also takes inspiration from Nagano's gorgeous mountains while the stripes represent oneness and speed.Mynavi Sendai Ladies
The city of Sendai where Mynavi Sendai Ladies hails from is famous for the Sendai Tanabata Festival. The club's antecedents, Vegalta Sendai, gets its name from Vega and Altair from the Tanabata story. Together with Deneb, Vega and Altair make up what's known as the Summer Triangle, an astronomical asterism. Mynavi Sendai Ladies' uniform is blue and features Deneb on the clubs' emblem for both the field players and goalkeeper.Chifure AS Elfen Saitama
Chifure AS Elfen Saitama formed in 1985 with a focus on women in soccer. Their new uniform, too, was made with women wearing it in mind in terms of both the design and colours. The blue is different from the club's iconic elfen blue colour and instead uses a special indigo dyeing technique. It pays respect to both the potential of female athletes while weaving in traditional Japanese design.Omiya Ardija Ventus
Omiya Ardija Ventus' uniform uses the same design as Omiya Ardija for their 2021 season. It incorporates bonsai motifs as a nod to the bonsai industry in Saitama. -
