Hero

Heroes performing "Hero"

"**Hero**" is a song released by Amuro Namie as a stand-alone single. It was released on July 27, 2016.

The song is covered by **Heroes** during the position battle evaluation for the vocal position in PRODUCE 101 JAPAN THE GIRLS.

## Heroes

Heroes (ヒーローズ) is a team composed of Ando Yui, Iida Shizuku, Ebihara Tsuzumi, and Takagi Mayu.

Only four spots were open for the song, and each trainee was able to choose which song they wanted to perform, starting with the highest ranked trainee to the lowest ranked trainee. In rank order, Ebihara Tsuzumi (6th), Ando Yui (21st), Takagi Mayu (30th), and Iida Shizuku (37th) picked "Hero". When choosing positions, Ando Yui was chosen as both the leader and center.

During the Produce camp, Ebihara Tsuzumi was disappointed with not getting the center position. When the team decided the arrangement with the duo LAS, LAS decided to give her ad-lib training and added ad-libs throughout the song. Ebihara was worried about standing out too much because Ando Yui was supposed to be focused on most due to her center position, which Ando also worried about. Meanwhile, Iida Shizuku worked on changing her voice style, due to some criticisms about her "Body & Soul" performance,

Heroes was the second team and first vocal team to perform in front of the audience that night. Ando Yui received the most votes, so she also received the winning benefit of 10,000 bonus votes.

**Japanese Lyrics**
I'll be your hero

I'll be your hero

いろんな色で染まる

世界で一人で

振り向かなくてもいい

今までの君のまま進めばいいから

あきらめないで everyday

君だけのための hero

どんな日もそばにいるよ

Oh Oh...

I'll be your hero

Oh Oh...

And you are my Hero

響く声に

そっと耳傾ければ

離れていても　みんなの想いが

今まで私の背中を押してくれたよね

君だけのための hero

いつまでもそばにいるよ

Oh Oh...

I'll be your hero

Oh Oh...

And you are my Hero
