Saitama Seibu Lions
My first game of the season was a good one. My Lions beat the visiting Nippon-Ham Fighters from Hokkaido.
Half the fun at Japanese baseball games is the cheering. Above is a video I took of one of the many cheers. Get your cheers down before the game for maximum enjoyment. 
Here you can practice them with music, but you need to be able to read Japanese.
The words to the cheer (for a player named 久) in the video are:
光り輝く
日はまた昇る
燃える男だ
チャンスに久
かとばせ久
Go Go Let’s Go 久

So great! Have you visited the John Lennon Museum in Saitama right at the World Cup Stadium? I highly recommend it!

Wow, it’s crowded. John Lennon Museum will be …

Excellent…
Makes me want to attend a base-ball game for the first time in my life.

Do you have any idea what song they play when Hiroyuki Nakajima goes up to bat?

中島 研ぎ澄まされた そのセンスで決めろ グランドスラム
A loose translation would be:
Nakajima, sharpen it up, fix on that sense, hit a grand slam.

Actually, I was wondering about the J-pop song they play. Like when #42 goes up, they play Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys. When Nakajima goes up they play a Japanese song and I was wondering if you knew what that was.

Sorry, SM. I can’t help you there. Although several J-pop songs now sound familiar to me, I couldn’t tell you the name of a single one.
