The fourth single by Finger Five, a mixed-gender pop idol group formed by five siblings from Okinawa whose powerful vocals and looks earned them a fervent following.
The song is also widely known through covers by many artists, including Kyoko Koizumi, and is a staple cheer song for high school baseball.
Its call-and-response arrangement is designed to fire up players heading into a game and foster unity with the cheering section.
It’s an upbeat tune that heats up the summer battles, inviting everyone to raise their voices together.
Amachan Opening ThemeŌtomo Yoshihide
Amachan, the NHK morning drama series that aired in 2013.
Non starred in it, and it was a morning drama that people of all ages—from children and young folks to seniors—looked forward to every day.
Its theme song was composed by guitarist and composer Yoshihide Otomo and performed by the Amachan Special Big Band.
The moment you hear the intro you think, “It’s the Amachan song!”—it’s an exciting track with fantastic tempo and groove.
It’s also become a staple cheer song at Koshien.
Astro BoyTakasai Tatsuo
One of Osamu Tezuka’s signature works is Astro Boy.
The first TV anime began airing in 1963, and apparently there was even a live-action broadcast before that.
And when you think of Astro Boy, everyone knows this song—it’s the theme song.
The lyrics were written by the poet Shuntaro Tanikawa.
It’s a tune that many people can’t help but hum along to, even when it’s performed by a brass band, and it’s also perfect as a cheer song.
The music conjures up images of Atom himself and his fighting spirit, giving you courage.
Don’t give upZARD
A beloved ZARD classic that endures as an eternal anthem of encouragement and hope.
It’s truly a perfect fit as a cheer song for high school baseball, too.
The grand, glittering sound and Sakai’s crystal-clear vocals are sure to set everyone’s hearts ablaze! Released in January 1993, this smash hit became ZARD’s first million seller.
Set to a driving tempo, it carries a powerful message of facing forward and pressing on without giving up, even in the face of hardship.
It also has a refreshing quality that seems to double the sense of accomplishment after you’ve given it your all.
A moving track that beautifully colors the high school baseball scene!
Boom!Magokoro Burazāzu
The musical duo Magokoro Brothers was formed in the late ’80s.
They were originally students at Waseda University, but they formed the group to appear on a TV show project, kept winning, and ended up making their debut.
“Dokan” probably refers to a big hit or a home run.
NonfictionsDa-iCE
As a new cheer song to color the summer Koshien, the track created by Da-iCE just might have the power to set listeners’ hearts ablaze.
This work doesn’t merely depict the struggles of the ballplayers; it also shines a light on the stories of everyone who supports them.
It has been selected as the 2025 summer high school baseball cheer song and the theme for “Netto Koshien,” and will be used starting in August 2025—making it exciting to imagine this melody echoing across stadiums nationwide.
It’s also great that a brass band arrangement is available.
It feels like a cheer song crafted for everyone chasing their dreams, and for anyone who wants to share a passionate summer.
The End of SummerMoriyama Naotaro
This song by Naotaro Moriyama delivers that distinctive late-summer melancholy and a faint sense of hope through beautiful acoustic sounds.
The lyrics—filled with feelings for someone far away and a wish for peace—overlap with each listener’s inner landscape, stirring deep emotion.
Released as a single in August 2003, it moved many viewers as the ending theme for that year’s “Netto Koshien.” It’s also included on the acclaimed album “Ikutsumo no Kawa o Koete Umareta Kotobatachi.” It’s a track you’ll want to listen to quietly at summer’s end, or whenever you feel like reflecting on the drama of Koshien.
