This is a signature song by THE ALFEE, released in 1894.

It drew major attention when Narashino High School performed it at the 101st National High School Baseball Championship in 2019.

The song is notable for its dynamic shifts in tempo, conveying a majestic atmosphere and a powerful sense of forward momentum.

These tempo contrasts are also striking in wind ensemble performances, evoking an image of determination and bravery in the pursuit of victory.

Because the overall tempo has a strong sense of drive, coordinating cheers may be challenging, but when everything clicks perfectly, the feeling of exhilaration is likely to be even more pronounced.

Some of you watching high school baseball might have been intrigued by that Latin-style song.

Its name is “Copacabana.” It’s a song by American singer-songwriter Barry Manilow.

The title “Copacabana” refers to a resort, and the lyrics tell a story of a passionate romance and breakup that happens there.

Perhaps the reason it’s used as a cheer song is that it contains phrases that, in a way, resonate with baseball.

Centered on lower registers and played with power, it’s a piece that stirs the courage to face the challenges before you.
