[Spring High School Baseball] Introducing Historic Entrance Marches, Program Theme Songs, and Popular Cheering Songs! (41–50)
Let It Go ~As I Am~Matsu Takako
The theme song from Disney’s animated film Frozen, which was a huge hit in 2013.
True to its title, the message that “it’s okay to be yourself” resonates deep within, carried by Takako Matsu’s powerful, soaring vocals.
It’s a straightforward anthem that can give you positive energy when you hit a difficult wall, feel like you might give up, or are facing a decisive moment—like right before a high school baseball game.
Everyday, KachushaAKB48
A memorable track featuring a crystal-clear melody and lyrics filled with straightforward feelings for a loved one.
Released in May 2011, it was used in a commercial for Asahi Soft Drinks’ WONDA and also gained attention as the theme song for the film “If a High School Baseball Manager Read Drucker’s ‘Management’,” starring Atsuko Maeda.
In 2012, it was selected as the entrance march for the opening ceremony of the 84th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.
The melody that echoed through the stadium became an uplifting anthem that gently supports young people striving toward their dreams, leaving a lasting impression on many hearts.
Days of Light and ShadowAKB48
Sung by the national idol group AKB48, “Hikari to Kage no Hibi” is a track that gained attention as the theme song for the 2016 program Netto Koshien.
Given AKB48’s strong popularity among high school students, it’s a perfect match with high school baseball.
All or NothingB’z
This is a song by B’z, one of Japan’s most iconic rock bands.
It’s well known as the theme song for the drama “Buzzer Beat.” Although the drama centered on a basketball player, the song has a great groove and a cool vibe, so I think it’s perfect for cheering at baseball games too.
One moreFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
The song “Ato Hitotsu” is a classic beloved by baseball fans.
With straightforward lyrics, it portrays the players who step into the batter’s box or onto the mound, each carrying their own feelings.
It’s hugely popular in pro baseball, but its themes—being just one step away from victory, from a higher standing, from the very top—fit high school baseball perfectly.
Few high schools use it as a cheer song, but it’s a piece that remains etched in the hearts of the players.
MiracleGReeeeN
In professional baseball, “Kiseki” is used as the walk-up song when players step into the batter’s box.
In high school baseball, it was also chosen as the entrance march for the 2009 Spring Koshien tournament.
Even now, it remains a popular song used for cheering.
Countless dramas have unfolded at Koshien.
This is a classic song that invites you to reflect on those many “miracles,” as well as the “miracles” that may yet occur.
Stay GoldHi-STANDARD
Hi-Standard’s songs have such a comfortable tempo.
Just letting them play in the background makes any track feel good, but this one is the most exciting of all.
It’s a song I want both supporters and participants to listen to.
