nori-chan 0 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 In Japanese chart now is song called "Jupiter". It is same song as Rugby World Cup theme, but in Japanese. Is it famous song? I heard something related to England or something? Can somebody tell me more about it? I really like it. Link to post Share on other sites
linalmeemow 0 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 It was originally called "World in Union" and was sung by Kiri te Kanawa for the RWC in 1991 or 95. It's just as ****ing rubbish now as it was then, and Gala is obsessed with playing it every half hour... Link to post Share on other sites
