SEE OFFBRAHMAN
It’s a signature song by the Japanese rock band BRAHMAN.
Its catchy, memorable melody fits perfectly with a brass band arrangement.
The first to use it was Ibaraki Prefectural Hitachi First High School, and it became known nationwide when Joso Gakuin used it at Koshien.
Separate WaysJourney
In Japan, Journey’s “Separate Ways,” well known as the WBC theme song, has an undeniably cool intro and chorus—but when you look at the lyrics, it turns out it’s actually a breakup song from a man’s perspective! The TV network that first adopted it as the theme reportedly chose it because it boosts motivation and hype, without thinking too much about the meaning of the words.
There are definitely points you could poke fun at, but with its powerful vocals and adrenaline-pumping rhythm, it’s a track that lets us viewers stoke our fighting spirit right alongside the players.
Miracle Revolution No. 9Fujifaburikku
Miracle Revolution No.
9 blends Fuji Fabric’s signature sound with irresistible catchiness.
It was chosen as the theme song for J SPORTS’ coverage of the 2023 WBC.
The more you listen to this track as it plays during baseball games, the more hooked you’ll become—no doubt about it.
Its retro dance beat and repeatedly delivered, addictive lyrics loop in your head.
Whether your team wins or loses, this song is sure to get you pumped up.
BATTLE WITHOUT HONOR OR HUMANITYHotei Tomoyasu
A track well known as the main theme of the films New Battles Without Honor and Humanity and Kill Bill.
It’s frequently used as background music in variety shows to create a tense atmosphere, so most people have probably heard it at least once.
From its impactful intro to the guitar solo, it gradually stokes a fighting spirit—making it a perfect number for the WBC theme as well! The bass line, which evokes the tense moments surrounding the players on the field, is another highlight.
African SymphonyVan McCoy
African Symphony, with its elephant-like horn calls and powerful percussion, is captivating.
This piece, which exudes an unmistakably African vibe, is a staple as a cheer song in high school baseball.
Like a lion catching its prey, it stirs a fierce fighting spirit and makes you feel like you can rack up lots of hits.
Sounds goodNEW!M!LK
This is a song by M!LK chosen as the entrance march for the 98th Selected High School Baseball Tournament (Senbatsu) in spring 2026.
Released early in February 2025 and serving as the lead track of the album “M!Ⅹ,” the piece captivates with a message that wholly affirms being yourself.
The sentiment embedded in the title—“It’s okay just the way you are”—encourages those who face forward despite their anxieties.
It naturally resonates with the image of the ballplayers striving together as one team toward Koshien.
The song reached a wide audience, winning the Excellence Award at the 67th Japan Record Awards and being performed on the Red and White Song Contest (Kōhaku Uta Gassen).
crimsonX JAPAN
When it comes to high school baseball fight songs, you can’t leave out X Japan’s “Kurenai,” right? You hear it played at the ballpark all the time, and it seems many schools adapt the lyrics to create their own cheer versions.
When I listen to this song, I picture the players who’ve put in blood, sweat, and tears to stand on this stage.
I want them to pour their souls into it when they step into the batter’s box! I’d love to deliver a hype anthem like “Kurenai” that fires up the players’ spirits!
