Amachan ‘Opening Theme’
This is the opening theme of NHK’s serialized TV drama Amachan, whose lively music lifts your spirits.
While many fight songs are powerful anthems packed with messages like “Hang in there!” and “Stand your ground!”, doesn’t this tune, when it starts playing, make the excess tension melt away just enough? For high school ballplayers, Koshien is both a battleground and a precious page of their youth.
A fresh, light cheer song like this is a perfect fit for hopeful, vibrant high school students.
The Greatest Showman
At the 2018 Koshien tournament, Osaka Toin Junior and Senior High School performed “The Greatest Showman” as their cheering song.
This is a song featured within the musical film The Greatest Showman.
With a sound that clearly contrasts stillness and motion, it served to heighten the circus performances in the movie.
Incidentally, since the lyrics center on the theme of passion in pursuing one’s dreams, that may be why it was chosen.
Be sure to check out the original track as well.
You are a slugger
This is an original cheer song by Osaka Toin High School, a powerhouse that has produced many professional baseball players.
After other schools heard the performance and took notice—some simply liking the tune, others aspiring to become as strong as Osaka Toin—it spread nationwide as a cheer song.
The relentlessly driving rhythm and the low, resonant brass overlapping it give the impression of quietly stoking one’s fighting spirit.
It’s a compelling piece that conveys the tense urgency of seizing an opportunity and the strength that evokes taking a step forward.
MiracleGReeeeN
Released in May 2008, this song drew attention as the theme for the TV drama “ROOKIES.” Centered on the themes of the “miracle” of meeting a loved one and the “path” they have walked together, it conveys hope for the future and gratitude in straightforward words.
It was also chosen as the entrance march for the 81st National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in 2009, gaining popularity as a cheer song that colors passionate moments of youth.
Its warm yet powerful melody will gently give you a push as you strive toward your goals.
Summer Memoriesberii guddoman
This is a refreshing cheer song by Ballistik Boyz that sets your heart ablaze with a trembling-voiced pledge among teammates: a resolve to never lose.
The track was chosen as the theme song for the East-West Tokyo High School Baseball Tournament in the summer of 2021.
The lyrics, which feel infused with MOCA’s real-life experiences as a former high school baseball player, do more than simply say “do your best”—they teach the importance of moving forward together, supporting one another through anxiety and inner conflict.
Whether you’re facing hurdles in sports or studies, this song will gently yet powerfully nudge you forward.
Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
A refreshing rock number by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE that straightforwardly portrays the budding feelings of love and the sparkle of youth that arrive with summer.
Its forward-looking stance—determined to make themselves the protagonists of their own story—and the faith in human connection, even while swayed by the complexities of relationships, strike a chord with listeners.
Released in August 2018 as the theme song for the film “Blue Summer: 30 Days of Love,” the track is also included on the album “Attitude.” It’s a song brimming with hope—one that, when played at the summer Koshien tournament, feels as though it powerfully supports the youths on the field in their moment of glory.
Wind of AugustGanaha Mina
Featuring an acoustic sound that vividly evokes refreshing summer scenes, this work is a heartwarming song woven in the artist’s own words by Mina Ganaha, a singer-songwriter from Amami Ōshima.
It gently sings of the loneliness that accompanies passing seasons and the positive strength to step into the future, warmly embracing the listener’s heart.
Released in July 2002 as one half of the double A-side single “Owaranai Natsu / Hachigatsu no Kaze,” it served as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Nettō Kōshien,” and likely remains in many people’s memories.
When you hear it at summer’s end, it stirs both nostalgic memories and the drive to take on new challenges—a perfect classic for the soundtrack of youth.
