Keio University “Rekka”

Keio Gijuku, a powerhouse from Kanagawa Prefecture.

When it comes to their signature tune, it has to be Reka.

These days Reka is a familiar staple, but it actually took eight years for it to really catch on.

That’s only natural—unless Keio Gijuku appeared on the national stage, like at Koshien, there would have been no way for it to spread.

The piece was created in 2008, prompted by their selection for the Spring Koshien.

Little by little it became known, and today it’s a well-known number among high school baseball brass band fans.

Dash KEIO

Dash KEIO – Rocket Music [Brass Band Baseball Cheering] Score No. BRA1 (Brass Band! Koshien)

This is a piece composed in 1966 by the Keio University Cheerleading Squad for the Tokyo Big6 Baseball League.

Later, in 1981, they created “Totsugeki no Theme” and “Fighting March,” completed a continuous performance (chance pattern) combining them, and as the Keio University baseball team achieved strong results, the song’s popularity grew and it came to be widely recognized as a cheer song.
