Monkey Turn (Chiba Lotte Marines Chance Theme)
This is a staple song for high school baseball cheering, also known for being used as a chance theme by the Chiba Lotte Marines, a professional baseball team.
The original tune is the jackpot BGM from the pachislot game “Monkey Turn,” and while both share the idea of seizing a chance, using it as a cheering song is a unique twist.
Some argued it wasn’t suitable for high school baseball, but its light tempo and driving momentum toward the chance helped it take firm root as a cheer song.
Its structure repeats phrases, making section transitions easy to follow and creating clear spots for group chants—another key point.

The words, which convey the strength to persevere in the face of hardship and the importance of believing in oneself, truly resonate.
It was performed on TV Asahi’s MUSIC STATION, where it drew a huge response.

Kassei Pawapuro
It’s a track that makes your heart leap when you hear it from the stands at Koshien—full of excitement and anticipation! It’s also well-known from the PowerPro app’s Stadium mode, so I think it’s very familiar to game fans.
Osaka Toin High School used it as Akira Neo’s cheering song starting in the spring of 2017, so among PowerPro tracks it’s also a popular one loved as “Neo’s song.” Widely embraced as a high school baseball cheer song, it gets even more electrifying with a brass band performance.
The melody is truly beautiful, and listening to it feels uplifting and inspiring.
It fires you up with that “The game’s about to start!” energy—an absolute must-listen for high school baseball fans.
Jock RockRob Rowberry
It became known nationwide after Chiben Wakayama High School performed it as a “chance theme” with a wind band arrangement.
The original piece is a curious one: it was included as a sample sound in YAMAHA software and keyboards, and aside from the composer, no other information is available.
Among high school baseball cheer songs, it’s played at particularly crucial moments, and due to the way it heightens tension, it’s also known by the nickname “the demonic song.” Its up-tempo rhythm and bright, driving melody emphasize a headlong, battle-ready image.
crimsonX JAPAN
This is one of the signature songs by X JAPAN, a rock band Japan is proud to share with the world.
Its blistering speed and heavy feel really fire you up.
It’s also become a staple as a cheer song for high school baseball, and its driving, forward-leaning rhythm boosts the will to win.
It’s striking how each school brings its own personality—some emphasize an overall sense of speed, while others add a quiet atmosphere at the beginning.
It’s standard to insert the cheering call right after the chorus ends.
You could say it’s a song that expresses head-on power and momentum in a very direct way.
rainbowTakahashi Yuu
Rainbow is a song written by Yu Takahashi as a cheer anthem for summer high school baseball.
The lyrics carry two major messages: one is a push for those who are hesitating—“Go on, give it a try.” The other is a call to live for tomorrow without being bound by past glory.
Takahashi wrote these messages based on what he felt when he actually visited the ballpark.
Try listening to it not only with baseball in mind, but by applying it to whatever you’re working hard at in your own life!
bullseyeYamamoto Rinda
The title Neraiauche (Taking Aim) also carries the nuance of “hitting the ball,” so the piece is often performed as a chance theme.
In the original sung by Linda Yamamoto, it has a lively, festive feel, but when played by a wind ensemble it tends to repeat the same phrase in a lower register, stirring the spirit and gradually building excitement.
The repeated phrases make the rhythm easy to grasp, which helps even first-time supporters join in and get in sync with the mood.
The sections switch clearly, so it’s a piece that readily accommodates inserting crowd call-and-response parts during the cheers.
