Popular cheering songs for summer high school baseball and classic brass band tunes that hype up the crowd

SEE OFFBRAHMAN

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.

SING ALONE GOODammo

This song by ammo, a three-piece rock band from Osaka, stands out with its emotional guitar rock, as if capturing a scene from the passionate drama of high school ballplayers.

Written and composed by Yusei Okamoto, it carries a message of turning moments of getting lost in the dark and shedding tears into a driving force, and living powerfully through today.

The track is included on their major-label first full-length album, “SONG LIE,” released in July 2024, and was selected as the theme song for the 107th National High School Baseball Championship East/West Tokyo Tournaments.

It’s a perfect, hope-filled anthem that stirs the hearts not only of the players taking on the summer tournament, but of anyone striving earnestly toward something.

The Greatest Showman

Osaka Toin “The Greatest Showman” 180806

In 2018, songs from the explosively popular film The Greatest Showman were used for cheering at high school baseball games.

During Osaka Toin’s renowned cheering, the atmosphere built gradually from an initial quiet, creating a unique mood.

High school baseball chants often use only excerpts of songs, and among them, this particular piece focuses on the opening, giving a sense of calm before the storm.

Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE

A refreshing rock number by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE that straightforwardly portrays the budding feelings of love and the sparkle of youth that arrive with summer.

Its forward-looking stance—determined to make themselves the protagonists of their own story—and the faith in human connection, even while swayed by the complexities of relationships, strike a chord with listeners.

Released in August 2018 as the theme song for the film “Blue Summer: 30 Days of Love,” the track is also included on the album “Attitude.” It’s a song brimming with hope—one that, when played at the summer Koshien tournament, feels as though it powerfully supports the youths on the field in their moment of glory.

El CumbancheroRafael Hernandez

El Cumbanchero – Rocket Music [Brass Band Baseball Cheering] Score Number BRA6 (Brass Band! Koshien)

El Cumbanchero is a classic cheer song that energizes the high school baseball players sprinting around Koshien.

Composed by Puerto Rican songwriter Rafael Hernández, the piece is perfect for cheering, since you can even add call-and-response shouts in the middle.

The title “El Cumbanchero” refers to people who beat drums and revel in a festive uproar.

True to its name, not only the horns but also the percussion instruments ring out vigorously, giving the music tremendous drive.

Hearing the melody with every instrument resounding at full power is sure to fire up the players’ fighting spirit even more!

You are a sluggerSugimoto Kōichi

Osaka Toin You Are Slugger Cheering Song Summer 2018 100th High School Baseball Tournament

Many people have probably heard this song at high school baseball games, but in fact it’s an original song from Osaka Toin.

“You are Slugger” was composed by Koichi Sugimoto in 2012, and having it played for you is proof that you’re a power hitter.

Perhaps due to admiration for powerhouse Osaka Toin, other schools now sometimes adopt it as their cheer song as well, making it a true staple of the cheering repertoire.
