Senbatsu's Entry Song: A Cheerful 'Why Not!'

In the tradition of exciting sports events, the entry music for the Senbatsu (Spring Invitational High School Baseball Tournament) in Japan has been announced as "Ii jan" or "Why Not!" The tournament, one of Japan's high-profile sporting events, will use this tune to lift the spirits of players and supporters alike. The choice of entry music is always a highlight and adds to the overall experience of the event.

The Senbatsu is one of the most popular and prestigious sporting events in Japan, with huge cultural importance. The choice of entry music is not just simple background noise—it sets the tone and creates a shared cultural experience that brings millions in Japan together. It also stands as a symbol of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and shared national pride.

In the same way the Super Bowl in the U.S. or FIFA events in the EU are not just about the game but the entire cultural experience—including the iconic music used—so too is the Senbatsu in Japan. The specially chosen music helps unify the audience and contribute to the atmosphere of anticipation and shared joy.
