It’s fine.Urufuruzu

Ulfuls’ “Eenenn” is a cheer song well known as a theme for Nettou Koshien.

Listening to this straightforward and passionate track—so characteristic of Ulfuls—makes you realize that while baseball is a world of competition, there are things that matter even more.

“Diamond,” sung by the popular male duo Kobukuro.

This song was created exactly for high school baseball.

It evokes the passionate image of high school players chasing the white ball through sweat and tears—a track that lets you feel those intense days of youth.

It’s a real tearjerker.

O flowers now in full bloom,Kobukuro

This is a song by the popular music duo Kobukuro.

It was chosen as a theme song for the Sochi Olympics.

This song, “Natsukage” (Summer Shade), is a track by Suga Shikao, one of Japan’s leading singer-songwriters.

Suga Shikao’s mature worldview blends seamlessly with the fleeting world of high school baseball, resulting in a song that is both heartrending and filled with hope.

As a baseball song, many people would probably name Pink Lady’s “Southpaw.” It’s a classic that was once hugely popular as a Chunichi Dragons cheer song.

Due to various issues, it’s no longer used in professional baseball, but it’s still active in high school baseball.

I feel like it often plays especially when a left-handed batter steps up to the plate.

“Highlight” became a hot topic after a promotional video was produced in collaboration with Osaka Toin High School, a powerhouse in high school baseball.

When it comes to baseball songs by Verry Good Man, many people might mention “Lion,” but this track cheers on students who keep moving toward their dreams, making it a fitting anthem for high school baseball.

FightNakajima Miyuki

Miyuki Nakajima is one of Japan’s most iconic singer-songwriters.

“Fight,” the anthem she sings for everyone across the nation, embodies her unique presence.

There’s no doubt its passionate message will resonate with young high school baseball players as well.

It’s truly a perfect song for high school baseball.
