Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.
POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

The PowerPro series has long been loved as a landmark in baseball games.

The BGM and cheering songs that excite players’ hearts are cherished as key elements that further enhance the game’s appeal.

In this article, we’ll introduce recommended tracks—focusing on cheering songs that are popular at high school baseball games, professional baseball, and even Samurai Japan matches.

Feel free to use them as references when creating your own cheering songs.

PowerPro Cheer Songs and Popular BGM: Ultimate Tracks Compilation (41–50)

A Little Love SongMONGOL800

I tried turning the 2018 Karaoke Top 20 into Power Pros cheering songs

A Little Love SongMONGOL800

This is a cheer-song arrangement of “Chiisana Koi no Uta,” a signature track by MONGOL800, a three-piece rock band representing Okinawa.

It’s such a well-known song that it ranked second in the karaoke rankings of the Heisei era and is popular across a wide range of age groups.

Tokyo Ondo

[Pawapuro Cheering Song] Tokyo Yakult Swallows – Tokyo Ondo (When Scoring/After a Win)

Tokyo Ondo

A classic song with a cheerful melody that makes you want to clap along, loved across generations.

It’s well known from the Tokyo Yakult Swallows’ cheering, and many people can probably picture the scene at Jingu Stadium in the bottom of the seventh inning, umbrellas open as everyone sings in unison.

Released in July 1933, sung by Kouta Katsutaro and Kazue Mishima, it was a massive hit at the time, selling 1.2 million copies.

It brings listeners’ hearts together and gives you energy for tomorrow! It’s a reliable track that gives you a push in moments when you want to bring unity and momentum to a team.

SharpshootingYamamoto Rinda

Linda Yamamoto – Shot at the Target (Official Audio)

SharpshootingYamamoto Rinda

It’s a song that became a classic after the phrase “Nerai-uchi” matched so well as a batter’s cheering chant in baseball! Brass bands from various schools perform it with all kinds of arrangements.

By the way, in the original lyrics, what Linda Yamamoto is “aiming at” is a different kind of ‘tama’—not the baseball, but ‘tama no koshi’ (marrying into wealth).

It’s even been officially adopted in Power Pros, of course!

Sunrise

SunriseSPECTRUM

It used to be a Koshien staple, but it’s a hidden gem that not many people know the original of.

Of course, the original is way cooler! If you didn’t know it, give it a listen.

Surprisingly, the original is ska-punk, and it caught on after Tsuyoshi Nishioka used it during his time with the Chiba Lotte Marines, which helped it spread to Koshien.

As the title suggests, it’s often used as a cheer song for fast runners.

Flying High

Let’s cheer on high school baseball with a Power Pros track! “Flying High”

Flying High

“Flying High,” which was used as the theme song for the PowerPro Championships 2017.

Although it’s a PowerPro track, Osaka Toin High School actually performed it as a cheering song for high school baseball.

The melody has a swaying feel, like it’s riding the wind, and it seems perfect for fueling a comeback.

It makes you feel like the impossible might just become possible.

With its sense of climax, it would really amp up the late-game atmosphere! There are also lyrics written by Yui Mugino, so be sure to check those out as well.
