You are the star.Sazan Ōrusutāzu

Southern All Stars – You Are the Star [Official Music Video]

This work is characterized by a rock sound brimming with exhilaration and a melody whose powerful message strikes straight to the heart.

Released by Southern All Stars in July 2004, the song drew attention as a cheer anthem for the Athens Olympics and as a campaign song for Toyota Motor Corporation.

Created as an encouragement song for Olympic athletes and listeners alike, it instills hope for a radiant future and the courage to take on new challenges.

In 2005, it was selected as the entrance march for the 77th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament, powerfully supporting high school ballplayers as they fought with courage and passion.

It’s a quintessential cheer song that resonates not only with baseball lovers, but with everyone striving toward their dreams.

Put it away, chance! (i.e., Please take your chance and finish it!)Chūnichi Doragonzu

[About 8 minutes] Please capitalize on the chance: Chunichi Dragons Chance Theme at Jingu Stadium

This is one of the chance themes played when it looks like the Chunichi Dragons might score during their at-bats.

Fans sing while striking their cheer bats in time with the rhythm.

The vocals are characterized by a roar-like quality, making it a powerful song that can overwhelm the opposing team.

Since there aren’t many lyrics to memorize, it’s easy for ballpark newcomers to sing along.

Also, because the lyrics are few and the rhythm is tight, it’s a song that makes it easy for the cheering section to sing in unison.

Chance Theme 3Hiroshima Toyo Carp

[With Subtitles] Hiroshima Toyo Carp — Chance to Launch (Chance Theme 3) (Scoring) [From the Three Calls]

This is one of the chance themes played when it looks like the Hiroshima Toyo Carp are about to score during their at-bats.

Throughout the song, fans keep pounding their cheering bats, and the fast tempo makes you feel the arrival of a big chance—it’s exciting.

The intricate trumpet melody in the middle and the call-and-response with the cheering bats are really fun to listen to.

There are also parts where you shout the team name or a player’s name, so you might find yourself singing with extra energy without even realizing it.

Hit hereTohoku Rakuten Golden Iigurusu

Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles Chance Theme: Hit It Here at ZOZO Marine Stadium

This is one of the chance themes played when the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles are on the attack and look likely to score.

It’s been getting attention for its distinctive, addictive melody line.

Another hallmark of this song is that fans whirl towels instead of using cheer bats.

Because of that, while this chant is sung, only the vocals and the cheer drum ring out, creating a different atmosphere from other chants.

When you join in, you can feel the drum resonating from the pit of your stomach, wrapping you in an indescribable rush of excitement.

In 2016, it was selected as the entrance march for the Opening Ceremony of the 88th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament, resonating with many listeners.

Win it!Yomiuri Jaiantsu

March 2, 2019 Tokyo Dome Giants Seize the Victory

This is one of the chance themes played when the Yomiuri Giants are on offense and look likely to score.

At the beginning there are no cheer drums, and fans sing along with the trumpet’s main melody.

As the song progresses into the latter half, the voltage rises and the pitch goes up, so keep an ear out for the trumpets hitting those high notes! Since it’s a cheer song with lyrics, you can look them up beforehand and sing along at the stadium for more fun.

If you also learn the cheer bat rhythm used during player calls, you’ll enjoy it even more.
