[Frenzy] Popular High School Baseball Cheering Songs (1–10)
Sounds goodNEW!M!LK
This is a song by M!LK chosen as the entrance march for the 98th Selected High School Baseball Tournament (Senbatsu) in spring 2026.
Released early in February 2025 and serving as the lead track of the album “M!Ⅹ,” the piece captivates with a message that wholly affirms being yourself.
The sentiment embedded in the title—“It’s okay just the way you are”—encourages those who face forward despite their anxieties.
It naturally resonates with the image of the ballplayers striving together as one team toward Koshien.
The song reached a wide audience, winning the Excellence Award at the 67th Japan Record Awards and being performed on the Red and White Song Contest (Kōhaku Uta Gassen).
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.
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!

Lionberii guddoman
Known as one of Berry Goodman’s signature songs, this track is a powerful anthem with a strong message.
Its lyrics, centered on hope, growth, and the strength to face adversity, inspire courage and optimism in listeners.
Originally released in 2016, it received a lavish new arrangement featuring orchestra and band in August 2018, and was widely tied up with media, including regional tournaments of the National High School Baseball Championship and TV commercials.
Based on the real-life experiences of member MOCA, a former high school baseball player, the song captures the spirit of youth and the pursuit of dreams.
I believe it’s a song that supports not only high school baseball fans, but also athletes and everyone persevering through challenging times!
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.
Lupin the Third Theme ’78Ōno Yūji
As the title suggests, it’s the theme song from Lupin the Third, and because it prominently features brass instruments, it’s also well known as a staple for cheering.
While the original track has a strong cool, stylish vibe, in high school baseball it’s often performed at a faster tempo with a more pronounced rhythm, expressing a bold, forward-driving spirit.
Another point to note is how the layered chorus differs by school: some versions stretch powerful vocals to match the melody, while others add dedicated cheer lyrics—each arranging the piece in its own way.
With spotlight moments for each instrument, it’s a tune that really invites an energetic performance.
summer squallarashi
This masterpiece by Arashi is a song that celebrates the passion of a hot summer and the brilliance of youth.
Written and composed by Yuzu’s Yujin Kitagawa, it was released in July 2018.
It was also chosen as the theme song for TV Asahi’s “Nettō Kōshien,” moving many listeners.
The lyrics liken people striving toward their dreams to a strong summer wind, conveying a message of courage and strength not only to high school baseball players but to everyone working hard in their daily lives.
While centered on the theme of high school baseball, the song sings of universal feelings that go beyond it.
It’s recommended not only for those who support summer high school baseball, but also for anyone who wants to pursue their dreams.
