Okay, so today I wanna talk about Shohei Ohtani’s walk-up song. You know, that superstar baseball player? He’s amazing!
First, I started by reading some articles online. I found out that Ohtani is a really big deal, not just in baseball but like, in general. He’s got a net worth of like $50 million in 2024! I mean, that’s crazy. He must be doin’ something right, right? And then, I dove into this whole walk-up song thing.
Apparently, he’s got a few that he uses. I stumbled upon this article that he had “The Show Goes On” by Lupe Fiasco as a walk-up song. That’s a cool song, really gets you pumped up. I can see why he’d choose that.
- I played that song a couple of times while imagining him walking up to bat. It kinda fits, you know? It’s got that strong, determined vibe.
But then, get this, I read somewhere that for Women’s Night at Dodger Stadium, he used a song from an anime! It’s called “Il Vento D’oro” from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I’m not a huge anime person, but I checked it out, and it’s pretty epic. It’s got this dramatic, almost operatic feel to it. Kind of a curveball, don’t you think? It’s a bit different, which I guess makes sense for a Women’s Night thing.
- I listened to that song too and tried to picture him walking up to the plate with that playing. It’s definitely… different. But hey, it’s Ohtani, he can pull it off.
My Thoughts
Honestly, I think it’s cool that he switches it up. It shows he’s got different sides to him. He is not just about baseball. Plus, it keeps things interesting, right? He is a man with lots of interests. I spent the whole afternoon just listening to these songs and thinking about Ohtani. It was a good day.
Oh, and I also saw something about Michael Bubl being shocked that Ohtani used one of his songs once. That’s kinda funny. Imagine being Michael Bubl and finding out a baseball superstar is walking out to your music. He probably loves it. I know I would. The whole walk-up song thing is pretty fascinating when you really think about it, right?
