Boxing entrance songs and walkout songs

Can’t Stop the RomanticC-C-B

C-C-B Romantic ga Tomaranai

This is C-C-B’s signature song, “Romantic ga Tomaranai” (“Can’t Stop the Romantic”).

It was the ring entrance music of former WBC World Flyweight Champion Daisuke Naito.

You might wonder, why choose a love song for an entrance theme? In fact, when he was being bullied in junior high, he reached out to C-C-B on the radio, and they comforted him.

He’s been a fan ever since.

He would enter the ring while listening to this song—an important track that helped him overcome the pains of adolescence—to fire himself up.

Many people are surely encouraged by the true strength of Daisuke Naito’s heart.

It was used in commercials in Japan, so many of you may have heard it.

Naoya Inoue once used it as his entrance song, reportedly because it felt upbeat when he listened to it in the car.

Although Inoue boasts overwhelming strength, he might surprisingly be more of an intuitive type.
