Beginning on August 8, the summer national high school baseball championships will be held at the Hanshin Koshien Baseball Stadium, a huge event for Japan. It has just been confirmed that GReeeeN will be providing the official "2012 ABC Summer High School Baseball Cheer Song" for high school baseball related programs on ABC!

The song is titled "pride" and was written specially for the program. Shiohama Akio, who sent the "love call" to GReeeeN for the song, had nothing but praise for the group. "They were able to include the passionate feelings of baseball players standing on the stage of their dreams," he said of their upcoming song. "The moment I heard it for the first time, Koshien appeared right before my eyes."

The song will be used in various shows on ABC, operating as the opening theme song for the "Sokuhou! Koshien e no Michi" (July 24-29) and "Koukou Yakyu Chukei" (August 8-22),�the theme song for "Nettou Koshien" (August 8-22), as well as the CM songs for baseball related programs broadcast on ABC.

When asked about "pride", the members of GReeeeN responded, "It's a song that was written describing the moment you're looking out on your match, with a lot of things on your shoulders that you've been carrying with you. We wrote it very seriously, the same as those baseball players, without compromising even for a second . We're running with everything we've got so that there's nothing we regret. Please play with everything you've got, and the self-confidence and pride in yourself for having run all the way up to today! OK? GO!!!"

The song will be included on their upcoming fourth original album "Utautai ga Utautai ni Kite Utautae to Iu ga Utautai ga Utautau Dake Utaikireba Utautau Keredomo Utautai Dake Utautaikirenai Kara Utautawanu!?" - "Uta" for short - which will be released on June 27.
