For high school baseball players challenging Koshien, teammates aiming for the championship together and players from rival schools they compete against are invaluable.

Shonan no Kaze’s song “Rival” celebrates these comrades-in-arms.

It was chosen as the theme song by broadcasters for the 98th National High School Baseball Championship regional tournaments held in 2016.

The players from opposing schools are rivals, of course, but so are the teammates who train side by side while competing for starting positions.

This song is filled with feelings for those important rivals.

SEE OFF (Brahman) – Rocket Music [Brass Band Baseball Cheering] Score Number BRA5 (Brass Band! Koshien)

“SEE OFF” is a signature song by BRAHMAN, a band that represents Japan’s hardcore punk scene.

They have many tracks that blend folk music with rock in a kind of mixture rock style.

However, “SEE OFF” leans more toward straightforward rock and punk.

While the overall lyrics don’t sing about baseball, the words “I” and “you” that appear in the song carry a certain youthful nuance, and combined with its powerful sound, I think it’s a perfect fit for midsummer sports.
