NPB 2008 Team Slogans
These haven't really changed much from last year, with a few notable exceptions, but I noticed they were printed in the pocket meikan I bought today, so here you go:

Yokohama's "Move on" cracks me up. Every time I pass it (and there is a huge sign at Kamiooka Station) it just tickles me.

I don't know about the Japanese meaning in Kanji so probably it isn't as funny, but to me "move on" means like a police officer escorting by-standers away from a accident or a fire. Move on folks, nothing to see here. Just keep moving.

Which unfortunately is fitting for BayStars baseball in recent years.

It was even more funny last year when they were in last place. And whenever the public address video for it shouted "MOVE ON!" I was tempted to shout "DOT ORG!" (My friends got a kick out of it, because many of them are big believers in that site; although I'm not, it's still amusing.)

There aren't as many unintentionally funny ones like last year. "Think Hard, Win More" (Rakuten) really cracked me up.

Nothing will ever beat "HIT! FOOT! GET!"

I just spit pop out my nose from laughing, thank you.

Classic.

Which team marketing chump, I mean executive, came up with that one and when?

Thanks for posting these, I try to catch the sports page when the team slogans are published. It is amusing in a burning to the summit kinda way.

Seibu used it for consecutive years under Higashio in the late '90s.

Orix: "One Heart Beat" ~鼓動をひとつに~

("Kodou wo hitotsu ni")

I guess Orix are going to have to have their defibrillator ready again in the dugout, if they are only allowed to have "One Heart Beat." Doesn't sound too motivational.
About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
