[Cheer Song] Hang in there! Songs with fiery messages (41–50)
KoshienFukuyama Masaharu
A song by Masaharu Fukuyama that became the theme for the 100th National High School Baseball Championship in 2018.
The music video starts with behind-the-scenes footage, and I think it helps convey the message embedded in the song, so I highly recommend watching from the making-of segment.
Fukuyama’s vocals, sung to the accompaniment of instruments used by high school brass bands and the like, serve as a cheer for those who keep running toward their dreams.
sasanqua (Camellia sasanqua)SEKAI NO OWARI
When it comes to cheer songs, many are punchy and get you hyped up, but “Sazanka” is a gentle, soothing song that feels like someone is quietly cheering you on by your side.
It was also the NHK theme song for the PyeongChang Olympics and Paralympics.
I highly recommend it for anyone striving toward a dream or feeling on the verge of giving up.
Golden SoulShonan no Kaze
Their seventh single, released in 2008, served as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “The Negotiator.” It was their first tie-in with a TV drama and was used across various media.
It’s also a song that really fires up the crowd at live shows.
Song cheeryuzu
Set to a fanfare, Yuzu’s cheer song features that unmistakable voice everyone’s heard at least once—a voice that instantly lifts your spirits.
Since it was used in a commercial, I think many people will recognize the chorus.
With its clapping sections and big sing-along chorus, it’s a song you’ll definitely want to belt out at a live show.
And as expected, Yuzu’s encouragement hits especially hard when you’re struggling or feeling troubled.
Our TomorrowElefanto Kashimashi
This song gives you a full-throttle pep talk from the very first line.
Even on days when you stumble a bit, listening to it makes you think, “Maybe I’ll try again tomorrow.” Its blunt, rugged, and passionate message really sinks in.
The lyrics, which bring to mind friends and companions who are walking the same path toward their dreams, are impossible not to be moved by.
Love will winKAN
KAN’s million-selling single “Ai wa Kats” starts with an impressive piano intro.
Many people have surely been encouraged and saved by its lyrics, which say there’s no need to worry because wishes will come true.
It’s often thought of as a love song, but in a broader sense it’s a cheer song about “winning in the end.” It reminds us that what matters is to keep going and believe in yourself.
GUTS！arashi
Arashi’s “GUTS!” is packed with a melody that captures the sparkle of youth and a message that gives you a powerful push forward.
Its upbeat lyrics encourage everyone to seize their dreams in their own way—even if it’s a little clumsy—and inspire courage in all who listen.
Released in April 2014, the song was used as the theme for the drama “Even If You’re Weak, You Can Win: Aoishi-sensei and the Clumsy High School Baseball Team’s Ambition,” starring group member Kazunari Ninomiya.
Loved as a positive track that blows away doubt and anxiety and teaches the importance of facing obstacles head-on, it turns any karaoke room into a stadium-like experience when everyone sings and dances together.
