In the original version it’s performed by American actress and singer Idina Menzel, while in the Japanese version it’s sung by Takako Matsu.
Its irresistible hook makes everyone—from kids to adults—want to sing along! As a result, it has even become a staple pep band tune for Japanese high school baseball.
If you hear it from the stands, you might find yourself humming along.
It’s a rousing classic that lifts your spirits.
Wind of AugustGanaha Mina
Featuring an acoustic sound that vividly evokes refreshing summer scenes, this work is a heartwarming song woven in the artist’s own words by Mina Ganaha, a singer-songwriter from Amami Ōshima.
It gently sings of the loneliness that accompanies passing seasons and the positive strength to step into the future, warmly embracing the listener’s heart.
Released in July 2002 as one half of the double A-side single “Owaranai Natsu / Hachigatsu no Kaze,” it served as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Nettō Kōshien,” and likely remains in many people’s memories.
When you hear it at summer’s end, it stirs both nostalgic memories and the drive to take on new challenges—a perfect classic for the soundtrack of youth.
On Your SideSuperfly
This is the 19th single by Superfly, the musical unit that operates as the solo project of singer Shiho Ochi, known for her overwhelming vocal power and expressive artistry.
Written specifically as the theme song for the 2015 “Nettou Koshien,” the track features a lyrical piano and a heartrending melody that really resonates.
The lyrics seem to give voice to the feeling that everyone involved in high school baseball holds dearly—“I wish this would never end”—evoking an image of a fleeting yet powerful page of youth.
It’s a number that colors a summer destined to end, win or lose, gently enveloping the hearts of the players.
Peace and highlightSazan Ōrusutāzu
The song that announced Southern All Stars’ return to activity after five years is a masterpiece that conveys a wish for peace and the importance of human bonds.
Released in August 2013, this track is a meaningful work commemorating the 35th anniversary of their debut.
With highly message-driven lyrics that confront social issues against the backdrop of tensions in East Asia, it voices hope for a world without war.
It also drew attention as Keisuke Kuwata’s comeback work after overcoming esophageal cancer.
Even among Southern’s songs that are popular as high school baseball cheer anthems, this track stands out with a special presence.
Beyond baseball, it’s a song that resonates with everyone who longs for peace—why not give it a listen?
In the Great Sky and on the Vast EarthMatsuyama Chiharu

Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48
Doesn’t it make you want to dance when you listen to it? This is the smash hit “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie” by the popular idol group AKB48, released in 2013.
It became such a sensation that ordinary people imitated the dance, filmed themselves, and posted the videos on YouTube and elsewhere, turning it into a social phenomenon.
Chosen as the march for the 86th National High School Baseball Tournament held in 2014, it also became established as a cheer song for high school baseball.
It’s a wonderful track that I can recommend to anyone, regardless of age or gender.
SunrisesupeKUTORAMU
Spectrum was a rock band that energized the music scene from the 1970s through the 1980s.
This is their song “Sunrise.” It’s so fiery and funky you might even wonder, “Are they really Japanese?” There was a time when funk and disco were popular in Japan, but there weren’t many bands that could deliver funk this authentically.
The track evokes the blazing midsummer sunshine pouring down on Koshien Stadium.
It would sound undeniably cool performed by a brass band, and a collaboration with the light music club could be great too!
