summer festivalWhiteberry
This is a signature song by the all-girl rock band Whiteberry.
Although it’s a cover of a JITTERIN’JINN track, its driving energy evokes a different kind of youthful atmosphere from the original.
As it looks back on summer memories while dashing full-speed through what remains of the season, it feels like a perfect match for the image of high school baseball.
It’s also a staple cheer song in the stands, often performed with the brass band playing the chorus, followed by a group chant offering encouragement to the team or players.
The song strongly conveys both a nostalgic sense that recalls the effort built up over time and a forward-driving momentum toward one’s dreams.
The crown of glory shines upon you.Koseki Yūji
A marching song that symbolizes high school baseball, it has been performed and sung at opening and closing ceremonies since its release in 1948.
It also drew attention in 2020 when NHK’s morning drama series “Yell,” inspired by its composer Yuji Koseki, aired.
The piece strongly conveys a sense of valiant striving to seize one’s dreams and the bright, youthful atmosphere of adolescence.
Because it essentially represents high school baseball itself, it may not be ideal for cheering from the stands, but it seems perfect for moments of encouragement when sending the players onto the field.
