[edit]"Natsu Hayate" was used for ABC High School Baseball Fight Song and is the theme for Netto Koshien. Yujin Kitagawa of Yuzu was in charge of handling the lyrics and music. As a special "Arashi x Yuzu" collaboration project, this song is expected to bring a lot of excitement to this year's momentous 100th summer Koshien tournament. "Natsu Hayate" is the first song to be released during summer after a while. With the song made for summer, the song takes the freshness and brightness of summer, places it on top of a melody that's sure to energize, and turns it into a fight song celebrating all the high school students out there who are doing their best.[3]
