Endless SummerGanaha Mina
A true youth anthem that moved so many as the opening theme of TV Asahi’s “Netto Koshien” in the summer of 2002.
Mina Ganaha’s clear yet powerful vocals mirror the single-minded dedication of the ballplayers chasing the white ball, stirring the hearts of listeners.
Behind this song lies a dramatic real-life moment: Ganaha’s own younger brother hit a pinch-hit home run at the Spring Koshien in 2001, and that inspiration became a major driving force in creating the track.
Released in July 2002, it was later included on the album “momentum” and the best-of collection “Shoshin Wasurubekarazu.” It’s a cheer song for everyone chasing their dreams—and for you who want to feel the brilliance of that summer once again.
