LOVE 2000hitomi
This is the song that became famous because Naoko Takahashi, the marathon runner who won a gold medal, was said to have listened to it before her Olympic race.
It’s up-tempo and really pumps you up.
You could even call it a cheer song for all athletes.
The wind is blowing.ikimonogakari
It was released in 2012 as Ikimono-gakari’s 24th single.
Chosen as the theme song for NHK’s broadcasts of the London Olympics and Paralympics, it won the Excellence Work Award for the fourth consecutive year at the 54th Japan Record Awards.
It’s a song I’d like to dedicate not only to baseball players but to all athletes.
Space Battleship Yamatosasaki isao
Space Battleship Yamato, an iconic anisong known for its dynamic, powerful melody.
That final line of the chorus makes everyone want to shout along, doesn’t it? In high school baseball, many schools choose it as their cheer song, and it’s now a familiar staple of the games.
This year too, let’s look forward to all the different Yamato renditions and cheer on high school baseball.
Song of the Seiun Youthsatou sasara
These are songs featured in the anime series based on the classic sports-driven baseball manga “Star of the Giants” and “New Star of the Giants.” Many people were likely inspired to aim for a career in baseball by memorable scenes such as the father’s Spartan training of Hyūma and the Major League training brace.
Please enjoy these hidden gems from “Star of the Giants,” the eternal bible for baseball fans.
It’s a perfect song for high school baseball, too.
Dragon Quest Battle Themesugiyama kouichi
This song, the theme of the popular role-playing game Dragon Quest, has become indispensable to high school baseball.
When the brass band plays the Dragon Quest theme, the cheering naturally heats up as if charging into an adventure, and the venue instantly comes alive.
You absolutely have to keep going and never give up!denpagumi.inc
Dempagumi.inc is a seven-member Japanese female idol group.
Each member is a dedicated otaku well-versed in hobbies like anime, manga, and games, giving the group a distinct individuality.
They held their first solo concert at the Nippon Budokan in May 2014.
Their lyrics, which encourage pressing on through youth without giving up, serve as a cheering anthem for all young people, including high school baseball players.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
This is Yuzu’s 21st single, released in 2004.
It was selected as the official theme song for NHK’s Athens Olympics coverage and became a big hit.
Since it’s often used in sports scenes, it’s of course a perfect number for the Spring Koshien as well.
