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. 😉
