Very surprised if they have.
The guy who produced Nakamura's theme works for NJPW.

Yeah. It'd be too friendly and a bit weird on NJPW's part, considering the fact WWE just took one of their top guys.

Depends on who owns the rights to the song. There's an even chance that the writer owns the rights and has just licensed them to NJPW. If that's the case, the writer is within their rights (unless otherwise stated in the licensing contract) to license them to WWE. This particularly holds if the rights licensed to NJPW were for Japan only and those licensed to WWE were US-only or some-such deal.

Wouldn't hurt if a Tonga got in, too.

New Japan owns the rights.

Nakamura reports to the Performance Center in a couple of weeks. It's only to take medical exams and be evaluated, so it's not exactly concrete yet.

This is were it gets interesting. Nak has some arm issues (nerves and the like) that could throw a pretty big wrench in all this.
