In high school baseball, it’s famous as a cheer song for the baseball teams of Tokai University Sagami High School and Yokohama High School.

With the music playing, you can’t help wanting to shout the players’ names in time with the beat, right?

The upbeat anthem that represents flumpool, “Kimi ni Todoke,” has a memorable anecdote from the summer of 2019 high school baseball: the captain and catcher Noguchi of Osaka’s Riseisha High School chose it as their cheer song, and vocalist Yamamura—who’s from the same junior high and was in the baseball club—sent him a message of support on Twitter.

They faced Seiryo High School in the final, delivering a classic showdown that moved many people.

The fresh, heartfelt vocals and the driving sound really set your heart racing.
