MiracleGReeeeN

Kiseki, which also served as the theme song for the youth drama ROOKIES centered on baseball, is sung by the faceless vocal group GReeeeN.

That nostalgic intro gives you goosebumps right away.

With the drama’s storyline and the baseball scenes in the music video, it’s a perfect fit for the image of baseball.

I hope high school players chasing their dreams will listen, thinking about the path they’ve built up for a single game—and the miracle they can spark in that very game.

This is a song by Kanjani Eight that was chosen as the theme for Nettou Koshien in 2014.

The lyrics are packed with themes of striving toward a dream stage, facing setbacks, and gratitude toward those who support you.

Even if you practice and train hard aiming for Koshien, there will surely be times when things don’t go well.

But this is a reassuring track that gives you a push, telling you that all that effort will never go to waste.

This song, which became the theme for Nettou Koshien in 2013, grabs your heart right from the opening lyrics, doesn’t it? It’s a cheer for high school baseball players who are steadily working toward their one and only stage.

The powerful, encouraging words make you feel like you can push yourself even harder! The simplest message of support—“Do your best!!”—pierces straight into your heart.

This song has long been a staple at baseball games.

When the opposing pitcher is tough, it’s easy to lose confidence, but hearing the lyrics declare “There’s no escape!!” can surely steel the players’ resolve.

In the actual lyrics the batter is a woman, but men can’t run away either, right? It’s precisely in games against powerhouse teams that you should play boldly!

The Greatest Showman

The Greatest Showman

At the 2018 Koshien tournament, Osaka Toin Junior and Senior High School performed “The Greatest Showman” as their cheering song.

This is a song featured within the musical film The Greatest Showman.

With a sound that clearly contrasts stillness and motion, it served to heighten the circus performances in the movie.

Incidentally, since the lyrics center on the theme of passion in pursuing one’s dreams, that may be why it was chosen.

Be sure to check out the original track as well.

Theme of Lupin the ThirdŌno Yūji

It’s the theme song from the anime Lupin the Third that everyone knows.

Even though it’s a sophisticated tune, listening to it really fires you up.

The “Lupin the Third Theme” is also used as a fight song by the professional baseball team Tokyo Yakult Swallows.

For soccer fans, it might be more strongly associated with FC Tokyo’s support songs.

In that sense, it’s a staple sports cheer anthem—“Lupin the Third Theme.” It’s a must-know, highly recommended number.

Limit-Break x SurvivorHikawa Kiyoshi

This is Kiyoshi Hikawa’s exhilarating rock number.

Chosen as the theme song for the anime Dragon Ball Super, the track features lyrics that, befitting a shonen manga theme, portray a bold, straight-ahead determination to take on challenges.

It drew attention because Kiyoshi Hikawa, known for his career as an enka singer, delivered a rock-style song.

Try cheering on high school baseball players with this powerful tune that feels like it can push you past your limits.
