From podium-topping victories to a cross-border regional anthem, Toyota Motor Asia celebrates the many ways movement connects Asia.
With the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games and Asian Para Games officially wrapped up, Toyota Motor Asia—in a release out of Singapore on November 9, 2026—is celebrating the record-breaking runs and proud milestones achieved by its seven Global Team Toyota Athletes (GTTA) hailing from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
To mark the occasion, Toyota Motor Asia hosted its One Team Asia showcase in Nagoya, gathering athletes and creatives under one roof to honor regional talent and spotlight Toyota’s deep-rooted support for sport. For Toyota, athletics isn’t just about the scoreboard—it’s about breaking barriers, championing the freedom to move, and opening doors for people of every ability and background.
A major highlight of the night was the premiere of “New Day Rising,” the collaborative regional anthem from Toyota’s Move Your World Beat initiative. Built from original tracks crafted using audio sampled from Toyota vehicles, the single fuses the distinct musical flavors of seven Asian artists into one uplifting anthem that celebrates both individual artistry and Asia’s collective energy. Alongside the single, Toyota dropped Move Your World Beat: Volume 1, featuring all seven artists’ solo releases.
By uniting athletes and musicians at One Team Asia, Toyota showed how sport and sound share the same power to move people and bring communities closer together—embodying one unifying spirit: Move Your World.

Reflecting on Toyota’s long-standing commitment to sport and helping communities move forward together, Preston Tan, Vice President of Toyota Motor Asia, shared:
“At Aichi-Nagoya 2026, we witnessed remarkable achievements from our athletes, each driven by their own ambitions and determination to push beyond their limits. Their journeys remind us that progress is personal, and every achievement has the power to inspire others.
Move Your World Beat carries this same belief into music, bringing together artists from across Asia to create something that reflects both their individual identities and a shared regional spirit. For Toyota, these experiences reinforce why we continue to invest in people and their potential — not only to recognize what they can achieve, but to create opportunities for them to inspire others and make a difference beyond the Games.”
