Ten thousand feet in the Alps
It was originally the American folk song “Yankee Doodle,” and in Japan it has been translated under the title “Alps Ichiman-jaku.” The spectator seats at Hanshin Koshien Stadium came to be called the “Alps Stand” after an Asahi Shimbun political cartoon likened them to the Alps.
As a result, this song began to be played in the hope of a hit that would reach the Alps Stand—that is, a home run.
O flowers now in full bloom,Kobukuro
It’s a hit song by the male duo Kobukuro.
It was chosen as an Olympic theme song, making it perfect for battling high school ballplayers.
Both members originally worked as street musicians and formed the group after meeting on the street.
There’s a legend that their street performances drew crowds of hundreds.

Its moving, relaxed melody is perfect for honoring the athletes’ efforts.
Singer-songwriter Dai Hirai’s “Eikou no Tobira” (“Door to Glory”) was released in 2022 as his 38th single.
That same year, it was selected as the ABC Summer High School Baseball support song and the theme for “Netto Koshien.” The lyric “The days we sweated together with our teammates will shine in this very moment” captures the spirit of high school baseball.
Win or lose, with smiles and tears—listening to it brings the players’ faces vividly to mind.

We are the ChampionsQueen
When it comes to high school baseball, the ultimate goal is winning at Koshien.
And when you think of winning, you think of champions.
And when you think of champions, it’s Queen’s “We Are The Champions,” right? It’s a song that can come off a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it regained its gravitas with the 2018 film Bohemian Rhapsody.
If you listen closely to the lyrics, you can catch glimpses of Freddie Mercury’s professionalism and artistic spirit.
It’s a globally beloved song that we’d like to dedicate to the chosen champions!
Kassei Pawapuro
This piece, which fully captures the excitement of high school baseball, powerfully expresses youthful passion and the bonds between teammates.
Its bright, lively melody lifts the spirit and inspires the players’ fighting spirit.
Created as part of Konami’s baseball game series “Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū,” the song has become widely beloved not only within the game but also as a real-life cheer song for high school baseball.
It’s said that its broader popularity began when Osaka Toin High School used it as the cheer song for Akira Neo, who later joined the Chunichi Dragons.
A small-ensemble wind band arrangement is also available, making it suitable for performances at school events and community gatherings.
It’s a recommended track not only for baseball fans, but also for anyone who wants to relive the passionate memories of their youth.
