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
This is a song included as the second track on the album “A Song Made for You,” released on June 25, 1977.
Its lyrics and musical tone evoke the grandeur of Hokkaido, and it is often used as a cheering song when teams from Hokkaido appear at the National High School Baseball Championship (Koshien).
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!
Theme of the Unruly ShogunKikuchi Shunsuke
This is the opening theme of the classic TV period drama “Abarenbo Shogun,” which aired continuously for 24 years.
The parts where he cuts down his opponents without question, along with the heroic tone of the music, make it well-suited as a fight song, I suppose.
The composer is Shunsuke Kikuchi, who also worked on the music for Kamen Rider.
When the wind blows, loveChatto Monchī
Chatmonchy is a rock band whose irresistibly cute vocals and overwhelmingly powerful band sound are addictive.
Though they sadly disbanded in 2018, the masterpieces they left behind will continue to inspire many people.
This is the song “Kaze Fuke ba Koi,” well known from the Sea Breeze commercial.
It’s a track with an unforgettable impact after just one listen.
I bet many of you sang it at your school sports day, right? It’s a song that captures the full-on sweet-and-sour feel of youth—a perfect anthem for cheering people on!
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
A song overflowing with passion and energy! Released by Sukima Switch in April 2005, this track became a massive hit and was featured in TV dramas and commercials.
Its lyrics, portraying young people overcoming setbacks and inner conflicts to sprint toward their dreams with everything they’ve got, really strike a chord.
It’s guaranteed to fire up a brass band arrangement as well! It’s also popular as a walk-up/introduction song, having been used by players like Michihiro Ogasawara and Takahiro Arai.
It’s the perfect track when you want to cheer on someone giving their all or rally yourself.
Give it a listen—you’re sure to come away feeling braver and more energized!
