[Fight songs and marches included] Moving songs you want to hear at the Spring High School Baseball Tournament

MiracleGReeeeN

GReeeeN – Kiseki

GReeeeN’s massive hit that sings about various kinds of “Kiseki.” It was chosen as the theme song for ROOKIES, a high school baseball drama starring Ryuta Sato.

It was also selected as the entrance march for the opening ceremony of the 81st Spring Senbatsu (National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament).

“Kiseki” carries a dual meaning: kiseki as “miracle” (奇跡) and kiseki as “trajectory/footsteps” (軌跡), the path one has walked so far.

For the ballplayers competing at Spring Senbatsu, they trust in the “trajectory” they’ve built and reach for a championship—the crystallization of effort—like a “miracle.” It’s a song that gently embraces the players as they keep running forward, believing in many forms of “Kiseki.”
