Can’t Be Touched (feat. Mr. Magic & Trouble)Roy Jones Jr
YA-MAN is a kickboxer with a background in street fighting.

TwinbowSlushii x Marshmello
Shohei Ohtani, the MLB star capturing Japan’s attention and raising expectations nationwide.
In Japanese baseball, walk-up songs rarely change during the season.
In the majors, though, it seems fairly common.
The track Twinbow by Slushii and Marshmello, a well-known hit, was adopted by Shohei Ohtani as his new walk-up song in July 2022.
It’s a song with a charming, cute sound that’s unusual for a sports entrance theme.
It’s got a great groove too, so why not add it to your party tunes repertoire?
Blank SpaceTaylor Swift
The entrance song for MLB’s Josh Collmenter in the United States.
It’s a song sung from the perspective of a heartbreaker about her ex-boyfriend.
The music video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who also worked on Eminem’s “Without Me,” and was filmed in 2014 at Oheka Castle in Huntington, New York.
Batter UpNelly, St. Lunatics
There are many songs that use baseball as a theme, but when it comes to tracks that depict the batter, “Batter Up” stands out.
This piece was created by the hip-hop group St.
Lunatics in collaboration with Nelly.
It portrays a batter waiting for their turn in the lineup and then facing the pitcher.
The batter’s feelings are described in detail, so even those who’ve never stepped into the batter’s box can relate.
When you listen for the first time, pay attention to how the depicted game unfolds.
ThunderstruckAC/DC
This is “Thunderstruck,” a signature song by the legendary Australian rock band AC/DC.
In the track, the guitarist showcases an iconic, virtuosic technique by continuously playing the riff without picking.
Whether in music or sports, daily practice is indispensable—this song really drives that home.
Do or Die (Remix)Afrojack vs. Thirty Seconds To Mars
This is a remixed version of a popular Thirty Seconds To Mars song by Afrojack.
This track plays when Shohei Ohtani takes the field not as a batter, but as a pitcher.
Perhaps he’s calming his mind to focus on throwing strikes.
It seems well-suited not only for sports but also for studying.
