Koshien Summer High School Baseball Japan. It's big!

- Hi guys, I've been living in Japan for over 4 years now and I'm not a big fan of baseball. I don't even know the rules! Hahaha!
So, many of the people I know were talking about it and it first stroke me when I found out that the high school tournament kicks out a professional team from the home stadium. Viewership is crazy and everybody is passionate about their hometown's school. I've never experienced such passion for a non-professional sport before. Let alone high school level.
I thought, this is more than just a sport. This is a unique cultural part of Japan and more people should know. Anyway, there are many more videos, so if you want to check out more about the Koshien, just surf around.
Cheers!

We Japanese love these high school baseball game. I think it is because we feel something very pure about these games. All for one and one for all. They dedicate so much of their high school life to baseball. Friendship, Discipline, Teamwork, Respect, Self-sacrifice. We can feel so many things about these games which we tend to lose or forget as we grow up. It is good for me to watch these games and remember when I was dedicating myself to something so precious for me and try not to forget or lose it. Sry for my English.
Thank you. That's what I love Japan and Japanese.
Some great amount of dedication u guys have hats off..would love to see in live

Cries you heart out on the field is insane, I play HS baseball but I’m from the Us, and you don’t have to play in high school or college get it minor league, but you have to love baseball with all your heart, mind, and body
i can only imagine the emotion. for the 3rd years this IS the last time they will ever play unless they get an offer from a professional team. they really play with everything they have. wow.
Now I feel like sports plays a big role in the growth of youth, it makes me realize just how better of a person I would be if I joined and have that passion to win a certain game of sport
Damn!!
DNA really got the details right
I've always wanted to see this tournament in person. Maybe some day.
Please come to Japan. Koshien stadium is near from Osaka. The 2018:tournament will bold soon.
@@r.nakagawa7931 Do you know when the tournament takes place?
@@ihl5716 usually summer, 7-11 august or like last year 31 july- 7 august.. the date is not far from each other but mostly they played in august..i'm planning to have vacation in osaka including watching for koshien.
This tournament has been held for more than 100 years since 1915.
Diamond No Ace
init sickest baseball anime ever
Major is really good too
That’s what brought me to this
Yeah i was curious after watching that anime bro...
Hahah
Wow I have read a lot of manga talking about Koshien championship and never really understand the importance but seeing this video OMG THE SCALE IS CRAZYYYY
Yea, it felt even more grand.
甲子園と箱根駅伝は日本が誇るアマチュアスポーツのビッグイベントです。
どちらも100年以上の歴史があります。
Diamond no Ace brought me here 😁
me too! I was just curious with how DnA portrayed the games, the players, the passion of individually, like is that really true? and then I watched the vid above and yes, DnA really portrayed those things and it's all the same! I really love it 😭♥️
sameeee
Major brought me here
Same here
Same
Their uniforms are like from the team Yakushi and Seido from Diamond No Ace
John Daryl Cacho omg that’s true! I didn’t notice until u said it
Teito!!
They fight for their own pride and honor of representative their hometown, Todofuken.
the players collecting the dirt for their last game is awesome, never heard of that before
This looks like a pure baseball experience, would love to see this one day!
Thank you for sharing.
Tatsuya Shimizu, who appears at 3:05, is currently a pitcher for Chunichi Dragons of NPB.
His name "Tatsuya" was named after the main character "Tatsuya" in Mitsuru Adachi's manga "Touch".
What the two Tatsuya's have in common
1. his name is Tatsuya.
2. he was a pitcher and was given the uniform number 1.
3. he won the summer Koshien Championship in his third year of high school.
Tacchan!!!!!
I enjoyed your movie. Thank you!
As your references, in this summer, the number of high-school that participated the tournament to play at Koshien were 3,781. Teams in your movie also won several games in their local and advanced to the final tournament at Koshien. There will be lots human dramas, I think.
Thank you for your comment and the info!
4:16 the moment sawamura did in diamond no ace 😭
😭
I got a teary eye. Amazing
i see why it was bringing to manga/anime..legendary Koshien
夏にこの熱い試合を見ながらそうめんを食べるのが日本の夏です。
More people show up to these high school games than most regular season MLB games
It is 100th anniversary in 2018.
actually the 100 anniversary was in 2015, 2018 was the 100 edition due the pause for WW2
Came here after watching Kano 2014. It was a fantastic movie. Highly recommend everyone to go watch it!
Thanks for the recommendation, jst checked out the trailer , definately gona watch it .
Win or lose, they all just super happy to have made it there. Comes down to: to be or not to be. And they became "to be" due to their hard work and dedication. That's the inspiring story of making it to participate at Koshien. Remember we are talking about young children of high school age, not about professionals with experience.
oh look at their uniforms, did the DnA mangaka base Seido and Yakushi from these teams? that's so cute ❤❤❤ and I can't believe that scenes where they cry on their knees actually do happen, even the bench warmers do... aren't they so full of passion, just wow
go and play at koshien stadium is the dream for high school baseball player...
Japanese “YAKYU-baseball” has a unique spirit that took root and developed over more than 100 years after it was imported to Japan from the American style of baseball.
In fact, there is another type of baseball on the earth today that exists in a different spirit from the American style.
Of course, the roots of baseball are in the U.S. (or the U.K.), but baseball was exported from the U.S. to other countries, and the baseball that took root there developed in a different way. This would be a fact that has happened on the planet.
The 2023 WBC was the day that “Japanese-style baseball (YAKYU)” defeated the home of “American-style baseball.”
To put it another way, it was a battle between Japanese-style baseball “ZEN-IN-baseball (all members),” which emphasizes “teamwork of all players,” and American-style baseball, which emphasizes “individual power.”
The result was the day that Japanese-style “ZEN-IN-baseball (YAKYU) (organized baseball emphasizing teamwork)” won over American-style baseball.
This difference is due to the difference in background culture, history, and environment.
However, the real and obvious cause of the difference is largely due to the difference in the two countries' educational methods in “high school baseball education.”
Japan's professional baseball system consists of 12 teams in two leagues, and almost all of the players who join these teams as professional players come from Japanese high school baseball clubs, and have played in the “Koshien Tournament,” a national high school baseball tournament that has been held annually since 1915 (more than 100 years).
Japan is divided into 47 prefectures, each of which has one (or more than one in large autonomous regions) winning team from each regional tournament.
56 teams (2018) will gather at the Koshien Tournament to compete for the championship of the best high school in Japan in a sudden-death tournament format over a two-week period.
Almost all Japanese high school baseball players spend three years practicing baseball in order to participate in and win this annual Koshien Tournament.
Although the Koshien Tournament is a tournament for high school students, it has a history of more than 100 years, and because it is participated by the regional representatives of the 47 local autonomous regions of Japan, the level of interest and enthusiasm is unusually high throughout Japan.
The interest in the Koshien Tournament is much higher than that of professional baseball.
Of course, every Japanese player who has made it to the major leagues, without exception, has either participated or aspired to participate in the Koshien Tournament when they were in high school.
That is how influential the Koshien Tournament is in Japanese high school baseball.
During the three years of high school baseball education, they are taught the basics of baseball skills, physical fitness, winning strategies, teamwork, manners, and character development.
The stoicism toward the improvement of baseball skills, the obsession with winning, and the behavior seen in Japanese players such as Shohei Ohtani and Ichiro were also greatly influenced by their three years of high school club activities during which they competed hard to win the Koshien Tournament.
The secret of why Ohtani often says that he prioritizes his team's winning and World Series championships over his own individual results, and why he is still committed to self-discipline and technical improvement, is largely due to the baseball education they received during their high school years, when they were aiming to win the Koshien Tournament.
The Koshien Tournament has a large number of participating teams and is a sudden death tournament.
Therefore, no matter how well-rounded and strong the team is, if they fail to score a single run in a single game, they are eliminated from the tournament and their three years of hard work comes to naught.
Do you have any idea how difficult and frightening this is for these players who have worked so hard every day to play baseball?
So they are willing to sacrifice themselves and cooperate with their team members in order to score one point more than the other team.
They naturally learn to put the team first and act in a cooperative manner, where everyone tries to score one more point in order to win the game.
The uniqueness of Japanese-style organized baseball ”YAKYU” is partly due to the uniqueness of Japanese culture, but it is more influenced by the experience of going through the Koshien tournament, which almost all high school baseball players go through.
What many do not realize is the Japanese have been playing base ball since 1874.
So, they have had about 150 years to make base ball a bit more suited to them.
If I were born in japan back in 2001 I think I’d have more fun playing baseball there than here in America they care way more about baseball there that they leave homes to other schools just to focus on baseball I find that courageous
Is really hard at first for most players but through out the course of highschools is become a norm, one of my best friends who is currently a main pitchers on our teams, start throwing 84, 86 when he was a sophomores and now he throw 92-96 as a seniors and commit to UK when he was a freshman, welllllll, he never at schools, like never, he spend most of his school time flying to Florida, LA, NY to practice with major league players and that just what he like, he wanna go big so have to invest big.
hung wang damn that’s very nice of him to practice with major leaguers to get better and that’s a ton of dedication I respect that,as much as I would love to play baseball still I’m going to give up on being a pro and try to get accepted to a popular music college in japan for guitar
Lord Doggo yeah MLB is definitely a big dreams but hey i throw 88 and i go to schools for film and directors, not UK committed haha............ sadly
hung wang damn 88 mph and school for film and directing that’s a big achievement I would never reach in life I used to be a power hitter though but I quit baseball and decided to take a career in music hence why I’m learning Japanese and trying to attend a music college in japan
Ace of diamond brought me here ❤❤
In early years of Koshien history, teams from Taiwan and Korea which were both colonized by Japan at the time competed in the tournament and did well. The Taiwanese movie called "Kano" is worth watching.
OMG thank you. I missed it in theaters and couldn't remember the name
They were not colonized, but became Japan. That's why competed in the national tournament.
@@sakura-eg7qo as if that was a great thing...
@@deadby15 Colonization and annexation are totally different things.
併合ですよ
日本を悪く言うのは構いません、だけど真実は知って欲しいです。
Those uniforms remind me of yakushi vs seido 😂😂😂
They do 😌
actually there are 49 teams, 1 for each prefecture except Tokyo and Hokkaido which have 2 teams. Osaka prefecture only has one team in Koshien.
Thank you for your comment.
"Spring Koshien" is called senbatsu and is an invite only tournament.
Because I play softball I don’t have much to relate with baseball but it’s the closest thing I can get to. Seeing how big this is excites me and makes me want to play so bad, to bad my season is on hold
I hope I can watch this competition in the stadium. I'm really really going to watch it someday!
Might be the only one, but Hinata's story from Angel Beats brought me here, I can understand why he would be so depressed, the audience was so big, important games, the one he played was the regional final, I feel empty now.......
I'm high school student Japan and belonging baseball club.
There are many students in every team and only twenty members can play as players.
There are also severe competition among members.
I'm always frustrated by this system
But losers will be more resilient than players
My Japanese friends, including women fans, also often add the word "purity" to the qualities they love in Koshien.
すばらしい動画をありがとうございます。
高校野球は、プロスポーツにはない魅力があり、日本の夏の風物詩の１つとも言えますね。
DIAMOND NO ACE
ONE OUT, TOUCH, H2, CROSSGAME, MIX, MAJOR!
add dia no ace to that list as well.
Did shohei Ohtani perform in Koshien? I'm a fan of Diamond no Ace and now I'm a fan of Ohtani.

Its batting at Koshien of Otani.
Played in summer 2011 and spring 2012 #cmiiw
There is no Koshien in Osaka. Located in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture. It takes 12 minutes from Umeda station(Osaka station).
4:16 ... tbh my eyes tearing as well .. i know its not the same as their do ... but i know abit how hard it is ... dammm ace no diamond manga reminds me of it T.T
今年も熱い夏がやってくる‼️
頑張れ❗高校球児‼️
後悔しないプレイをしたら
それだけで「栄冠は君に輝く」
でも朝日新聞が主催というのが…
Train, train, hashitte ike... train, train, dokomademooo
You should do this for the Minnesota state high school tournament!
I am sorry that the spring Koshien tournament was canceled this year.
someday, I'll watch this tournament
The winning High school is one of 4,000 high school in Japan.
I feel like i was born in the wrong country
You and me both. I'm Danish, and Denmark doesn't have baseball.
@K John I think it's mostly the heart that the people put in it that makes it a wonderful experience. I mean, even the spectators are putting in some effort to watch it like the parents etc
High school baseball players play baseball as hard as they can to win the championship.
The students who cheer for them also cheer hard, hoping for the victory.
The tears that the players shed when they lose a close game are very moving.
PS: More interesting than Japanese professional baseball.
The reason is that high school ball players play very hard.
（I use the Google Translate function.）
Power of friendship
BROOO IT LOOKS LIKE SEIDO VS YAKUSHI FROM ACE OF DIAMOND SHEESH
Defeated team members dig the ground on which they just have had a hot match and gather the soil to bring it home as a memory.
今年でちょうど100回目になりましたよ。!!
Major brought me here 😆❤️
If the language of Japan were English, I think people from all over the world would love this tournament. And Even CBS will report the games on the news
OMG.. wtf .. Diamond no Ace is real ???
This is awesome
It's kind of a shame how little overlap there is between Japanese and American baseball. Like the WBC is the only competition of note and it's not that prestigious given how many MLB players sit out. Like having the NPB and MLB champions play a 7 game series or having an international high school tournament would be awesome. There's certainly an appetite for that.
Every baseball manga of Adachi Mitsuru brought me here :3
Seido vs Yakushi
2:28 49 teams from 47 prefectures 2 from Tokyo and Hokkaido (not Osaka)
Except on a certain time, the competing team can increased up to 56 teams (eg: osaka and kanagawa have extra 1 berth as well as some prefecture, not sure which prefecture is)
2:28
Correction
2 from Tokyo and Hokkaido
Ookuki brought me here
:)
May narumiya and Sawamura ejun final summer
What type of Diomond no Ace is this?
2 from Tokyo and Osaka ❌
2 from Tokyo and Hokkaido⭕️
❌”2from Tokyo and Osaka”
⭕️”2 from Tokyo and Hokkaido”
I am always wondering about Koshien since I found out about it from an anime called Daiya No A. Now, I am studying in Japan and I would like to watch this. Is it difficult to get the tickets for those Spring or Summer Koshien's matches? Since you said that the stadium is always full.
+Jim Kalther thank you for your question. To be honest I’m not sure about the ticket availability. You must be able to get tickets at convenience stores though, so you can ask there as well!
Same its just like its anime
I am from Mexico, and actually did only learn of this because of the anime ace of diamond. I didn't believe it was real. It just makes me want to visit Japan more.
Most popular ticket will be quarter semifinals or semifinals or final.
Other than that, it wouldn't be so difficult to get ticket.
But seats in the shade will be tougher to get.
In some case, if there is the very much talented player, the ticket for the game he play would be tougher to get either.
If you go there, you will find that those school bands and cheers are also remarkable.
Hoping you would be there someday.
All outfield seats are still free in Spring 2019.
It is the Japanese version of 'Friday Night Light'.
Where's the back story behind every pitch? The pitcher threw a ball, something must be wrong!
The back story is pain, suffering, training, and skill.
FURUYAA, EIJUN SAWAMURA, NARUMIYA, HONGO MASAMUNE...
Diaya no Ace & Major brought me here
Also can I just say that I thought the retiring of 3rd year students, crying & taking soil from the field of the stadium was exaggerated in animes but this just seems *so real* like *WOW* 🤯
Adachi Mitsuru!
WOW! this is like NCAA of japan or something!
I got interest with baseball just watching anime lol but anime looks more hype and enjoyable XD
a lot tears and feels
Dang i really didnt know average throwing speed was around 80 in japan, i wish i was going to schools in japan because in america, even the slowest seniors pitcher we have at our schools is 85-88 mph and the fastest we have is 94-96 mph, seniors as well.
Ohtani was already throwing 99mph in high school but he didn't make it to this summer tournament in his senior year. Pitchers aren't all about throwing fast balls. And they do have pitchers that throw 94-96 mph. There is a kid that throws 101 mph now.

@@pepsicokee yeah it seems like japanese players are crazy good at batting
Wkwk kesini gegara Anime Diamond no Ace
Respect honor discipline three things missing in youth sports America
0:06 Hanshin Tigers is in Hyogo
Can foreigners go to this tournament and how would I setup my trip? Do I need to purchase tickets or how would that work? I’m about to book everything and the trip is centered around this so I’m doing research
The comment may have been late.
Foreign boys studying in Japanese high school can participate in tournaments.
Previously, you could buy tickets on the web or at the counter on the day.
But with covid-19 it is now only available on the web.
Please come to Japan when covid-19 converges!
You can watch on tv, it is broadcast throughout the day. If tickets don’t work out

If you look closer to catcher he wears traditional catcher's mask.
By the rule, no brand mark allowed in helmet, jersey, catcher's mask, etc. So American high school baseball mask is not eligible in there due to none of masks meets regulations.
Of course, Koshien catcher's masks are banned in America.
韓国も中国もまねしたんだけど、３年も続かなかったらしいね！普通に学校対抗はあるけど、今は父兄友達だけが応援ですと！これは、やはり日本独特 日本じゃないと続かないと思います！
Thank you for your comment!!!
まず韓国の場合は高校野球はエリートしかできないのではなかったけ？
日本の高校野球の場合は地域性が強いですよね
他のスポーツに比べて爺ちゃん婆ちゃんまで夢中になって独特のですよね
That's a siren ?? I thought that's a female announcer screaming on the PA system Michael Buffer style
Hanshin Tigers is not team of OSAKA but team of HYOGO
Thank you for your comment. Good point!
@T F 阪神タイガースの「阪神」はオーナー会社の「阪神電気鉄道」から来てて「大阪と神戸のチームである」という意味じゃない。そりゃ勿論阪神電気鉄道自体は大阪と神戸を結ぶ鉄道会社なんだからそれぞれの地名から名前を取ってる訳だけど野球チームとしての阪神タイガースの本拠地とは何も関係がない。
というかそもそも野球の本拠地はホーム球場の場所で決まる訳で甲子園球場が西宮にあるんだから大阪のチームにはなり得ない。公式のウェブサイトでもでも本拠地は「兵庫県西宮市」としか書いてないよ(m.hanshintigers.jp/corporate.html)。
君の理屈で言うと「埼玉西武ライオンズ」の「西武」は「武蔵国の西側」という意味(オーナー会社の西武鉄道はその辺りに路線を展開しているから「西武鉄道」という社名)だから「埼玉のチームであるとともに東京のチームでもある」という結論になるけどそんな馬鹿なこと言う人いないでしょ？
That's the location of the stadium but everyone in Osaka considers it to be their team, and baseball fans all over Japan associate the Tigers with Osaka, or the Osaka region known as Kansai.
Nijisanji Koshien bring me here
Adachi Mitsuru brought me here
Korea and Taiwan joined the tournament before WWII
I want them to join again
NO
We want to refuse Korean high schools forever because they will probably bribe the referees or bump them on purpose. Perhaps they could sit on the ground and cry all night, disrupting the competition.
japanese march madness.
the baseball anime Major brought me here
Japanese baseball is not so called baseball. This is Bushido. Not a sport.
What's the bigger one, Summer or Spring Koshien?
Summer.
Summer, the spring technically was an invitational tournament
GORO IS DAT U?
