The baseball match between two Japanese high school teams was accompanied by a musical spectacle that is being celebrated on social networks. We summarize.
Brass band goes viral
On August 7, 2024, the 106th edition of the “Koshien” began – a prestigious baseball tournament in which high school teams from across the country compete for the coveted title over a total period of 17 days. The tournament is also broadcast on national television. The focus is not only on the teams, but also on their supporters, with the Osaka Toin High School brass band currently going viral on social media after sang the iconic opening song “Shikairo Days” from the comedy anime “My Deer Friend Nokotan” during the match between their team and Konan High School.
But even before that, the Osaka Toin brass band attracted attention and played well-known anime songs such as “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” from “Mashle” or “Idol” from “Oshi no Ko” – so they seem to have experience. As usual, you can find the corresponding videos below these lines. “My Deer Friend Nokotan” is directed by Masahiko Oota (“Gabriel DropOut”) at Studio WIT and has been broadcast on Japanese television since July 7, 2024. The streaming services AKIBA PASS TV, ADN, Crunchyroll and Prime Video show the series every Wednesday in simulcast.
