See Baseball in Japan for general information on baseball in Japan. You may find some relevant terms there.

Regions of Japan[edit]

地区選択:

  • 北海道
  • 関東
  • 北陸
  • 中部
  • 東海
  • 関西
  • 四国
  • 中国
  • 九州

Note that 中国 is also the name of China. Saying 中国地区 can clarify that you're talking about the region.

Password[edit]

Japanese
ぱすわーどが　ちがいます
English
Wrong password
Japanese
おわり
English
End

Before match[edit]

  • 大会
  • 高校
  • 一回戦
  • 決勝戦
  • 全国
  • 世界

For some reason, the game spells 高 with the older form 髙. The former is the form you should memorize; the latter is easily recognized whenever it appears.

Before each team's turn at bat[edit]

Japanese
１回オモテ　ＫＵチームのこうげきです！
English
Top of the first inning. The KU team is on offense!

The game is over[edit]

Japanese
しあい　しゅうりょうです！
English
The game is over!

Post-game report[edit]

This screen, like most of the game, sometimes uses hiragana even where katakana is more appropriate.

Japanese
すぽーつ　ですく　です
English
This is the sports desk.
Japanese
今日の　しあい　けっか　です。
English
Here are the results of today's game.

If you lost:

Japanese
[name]チーム　はいたい　です
English
The [name] team lost.

If you won:

Japanese
[name]チーム　かちぬき　です
English
The [name] team won.

If you won a championship match:

Japanese
[name]チーム　の　ゆうしょうです
English
The [name] team won the championship.

Regardless of the match outcome:

Japanese
いやあ　すごい　だせんですね
English
Wow, what a terrific lineup!

If the team won by shutout (opposing team never scored), this is said instead of the above line:

Japanese
いやーみごとに　おさえましたね。
English
Wow, they kept [their opponents] in check beautifully.

Here, に turns the adjective 見事 into an adverb.

If there was a home run:

Japanese
つぎは　今日の　ホームランです
English
And now for today's home run(s).
Japanese
３回　うら　かおり　です
English
[It was scored at] the bottom of the third inning by Kaori.
Japanese
それでは　また　あした。
English
That's all for today. See you tomorrow!
Japanese
ぱすわーど [password]
English
Your password is: [password]

Championship screen[edit]

Japanese
[name]チーム　優勝！
English
The [name] team won the championship!
