For those working hard on their high school baseball team, I recommend listening to “Kiseki” by GReeeeN.

It also has strong ties to high school baseball in other ways—for example, it was selected as the entrance march for the opening ceremony of the 81st Senbatsu High School Baseball Tournament in 2009.

Many people will recognize its memorable piano intro.

With lyrics that sing of the “miracle of meeting you,” it’s a heartwarming youth anthem—definitely give it a listen!
