WINNER, which was written and composed by Shugo Nakamura himself, has a chilled out, relaxed melody that stands in contrast to the passionate lyrics.
In the music video, multiple Shugo Nakamuras appear, surreally depicting the endless battles and the moments in between them.
At the same time, the song was digitally released on popular streaming and downloading platforms.

In addition, a newly-drawn illustration that will be used for the back of the regular edition has also been revealed. The illustration depicts the determination of Yoichi Isagi through his strong gaze, with a beautiful, eye-catching color gradation.
Blue Lock, which is serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine, is a soccer manga series written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yūsuke Nomura. It has already sold over 10 million copies in total.
The anime ranked No. 1 on Twitter Japan's trending list despite its late-night broadcast, and viewers, including fans of the original manga, have praised its excellent visuals, direction, drama, and music.
Shugo Nakamura not only sings the ending theme song but also plays the role of Gin Gagamaru in the anime.
