FUNKY MONKEY BABYS “One More”

It’s quintessentially coming-of-age—the kind of uplifting anthem that really suits them.

Since it was used as the theme song for Koshien, I think many people remember it as an encouragement song for high school baseball players, but of course it’s also perfect for sports festivals.

When you’re giving it your all, there are often moments when you’re “just one more step away” from reaching your goal, right? This song is popular as an anthem that makes you want to push through that “one more step” and keep trying.
