EarthBound and Japanese Baseball

He is a hero.

Nippon Ham Fighters: Only second to the Tokyo Gas Creators. (http://www.tg-creators.com)

I know nothing of Baseball. Especially not JAPANESE baseball.
But this guy is now my all-time favorite player.

I’m a big baseball fan, so I thought this was pretty amusing. Especially since you mention the Nippon Ham Fighters, which is absolutely my favourite Japanese baseball team ever.

God, just how big is MOTHER in Japan, anyway?

I had the fortune of watching a baseball game while I was in Japan, and seeing how ridiculous the crowds are saddened me that we’ve been doing baseball all wrong. While the Ham Fighters are an excellent team, I got to shout out for the Hanshin Tigers, the rowdiest team in the leagues.

Interesting. My goal is to now get the Drugstore song to play wherever I go. And possibly drive people mad, but it comes with the territory.

Lollerskates. I am very amused.

I try to apply Mother series music to my various locations travelled to in life.

did you know robo’s theme in chrono trigger is actually “never gonna give you up” as made famous by rick astley

I think I just found myself a new ringtone <3

Thanks.

whoper, not true. That’s only the very beginning of the song that might’ve been lifted, not the entire thing – after the first few seconds they don’t sound alike anymore!

Anywho, this is really awesome. Do the players themselves choose their songs, or do fans just randomly come up with them, or…? Because -somebody- in there must’ve been a fan.

XD Hahaha, brilliant! I love these little things~!

Time to write myself a theme song…

That MIDI makes a good ringtone.

That is incredible.

In response to OTHERHAND:

Usually when they do a player’s chant, the little follow up at the end where they say “Let’s go -Insert Player’s Name Here-” is added onto whatever their song is. I know a few players on the Tiger’s, who are actually from the states, also have some of their favorite songs as chant for when they step up to the plate. If I remember correctly, one of their player’s had “We Will Rock You” as his chant.

He’s my hero!

That is AWESOME. Shigeyuki Furuki is my new hero.

WIIIIIIIN. For both Japanese baseball and the article in general.

That was awesome. Quick! Itoi should sue for copyrights! XD

Ok what kind of a baseball team name is that? See, a real name, like the Twins, would make it was more awesome. I find it kind of amusing though too. I guess I’m not to familiar with the Japanese leage.

I suddenly like sports now.

New favorite athlete ever.

Oh man, at first I didn’t recognize what song from EB it was supposed to be, but after I listened to it again it sort of clicked and this became one of the coolest things I have ever seen/heard. If stuff like that happened more often, I’d be a lot more likely to start liking sports.

That is cool

I’m doing a school project on this guy.

There is simply no amount of awesome to address this with. This is just amazingly cool.

Awesome.

sometimes, just sometimes, I’m ashamed and proud to be a Japanese.

This makes me want to play Baseball even more now

This cheer is back! It’s been given to Takahiro Imanami.
