It’s one of Pink Lady’s hit songs and a popular track that’s been widely used across eras.
The person mentioned in the lyrics is naturally thought to refer to Oh, the baseball legend, from that time.
The song doesn’t depict the outcome of the contest—only the decisive moment itself—but it’s interesting that if it were their first matchup, you can imagine a revenge match afterward, and if it weren’t the first, you can picture it as a revenge showdown for one side or the other.

Tiger Mask IIMizuki Ichirō
It’s the theme song from the anime Tiger Mask II.
This isn’t a sequel to the anime version of Tiger Mask, but rather a sequel to the manga version, so it’s set up so that the original Tiger Mask, Naoto Date, is dead.
Because of that, you could say the second Tiger Mask comes as a kind of revenge in place of the original.

Released on February 11, 2024, this work was chosen as the opening theme for Adult Swim’s anime series “NINJA KAMUI,” where it perfectly matches the show’s worldview.
It’s a track that will resonate when you want to unleash the anger and anguish within.

This is the ending theme of Itadakiman, the final entry that ended after its first season in the legendary gag-anime Time Bokan series.
Not only the song itself, but also the fact that composer Masayuki Yamamoto chose not to sing it himself and instead found someone with a similar voice to perform it, gives the piece a deeper meaning.
Because it’s the path you chose.sasaki isao
This is a song used as the ending theme for one of the many supercar-themed anime produced during the supercar boom, “Gekisou! Ruben Kaiser.” As the title suggests, it conveys a message of handling things yourself and clawing your way up, even if it’s tough, out of sheer determination.

Revenge isn’t just for sports matches—you want a rematch when you lose at mahjong too, right? This is the ending theme from the mahjong anime Super Zugan, sung by Haruo Minami.
It captures the feelings of a player during a game very well, and it’s also surprising that Haruo Minami was the one who sang it.
