Baseball is one of the most popular sports in Japan. Both children and adults enjoy watching and playing baseball. Every spring and summer, there are big national high school baseball tournaments. Students in baseball clubs practice for three years for these games and hope to win as many as possible.

The sound of this baseball game was recorded at Saikyo Stadium in Yamaguchi city, Japan. The music is performed by the brass band of that school. Students from the school also come to the stadium to cheer. For high school students, this experience is unforgettable and precious.
