“The land of Yamado Island/ is a sacred place for our ancestors, old dreams, morning and evening, and a place for our bodies and virtues, a Korean academy.”
The Korean language school song of Kyoto International High School, a Korean ethnology school in Japan, was aired through NHK in Japan on Sunday. The reason is as follows.
Kyoto International High School advanced to the semifinals by beating Nara Prefecture's Chibengakuen High School 4-0 in the quarterfinals at the Japan National High School Championship (Summer Koshien) held at Koshien Stadium in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture on Wednesday. It is the first time in three years that the team has advanced to the semifinals in 2021.
On the day, Kyoto International High School had left-hander Nishimura serving as the starting pitcher to completely block the opponent team's batters. Nishimura cooked the game with a fastball in the mid-130km range. Through the ninth inning, he threw 118 pitches, allowing only six hits, and securing a shutout victory. It was his second consecutive shutout victory following the round of 16.
The batters scored two runs in the fourth inning with consecutive timely hits by Okui and Nishimura, and then Hasegawa's timely hits added to the score in the fifth inning. Chibenkakuengo deployed four pitchers, but failed to produce results.
The Japan National High School Championship (Koshien) is Japan's best high school baseball tournament hosted by the Asahi Shimbun. It was the 106th edition since 1915. Out of 3,715 high school baseball teams, only 49 schools that passed 47 regional preliminary rounds made it to the finals this year. Otani and Yu Darvish also caught the eye of professional scouts through the championship.
In Koshien, the school song of the participating school will be played and broadcast live throughout Japan through the Asahi Shimbun's ABC and Japanese public broadcaster NHK.
Meanwhile, Kyoto International High School opened in 1947 as "Kyoto Chosun Middle School," an ethnic education school established by a Korean-Japanese organization. It received approval from the Korean government as Kyoto Korean Middle School in 1961, and received approval from the Japanese government as Kyoto International Middle and High School (one teaching assistant) in 2003, and opened as Kyoto International Middle and High School as the current Kyoto International Middle School in 2004.
The class provides tri-lingual education such as Korean, English, and Japanese, and unlike the Tokyo Korean School, the proportion of expatriates in Korean companies is quite small, and most of them are Japanese and indigenous Koreans in Japan. Currently, 90% of all students are known to be Japanese.
