What is Yusei Kikuchi's walk-up song?

Yusei Kikuchi's walk-up song is "The Nights" by Avicii, last confirmed in 2026 with the Los Angeles Angels. Hear the 30-second preview below before picking it for your own team. Kikuchi plays pitcher and wears #16. As a pitcher, Kikuchi's song plays as he takes the mound — his entrance music and walk-up song are one and the same. Confirmed on the official MLB walk-up music page (2026-10-15).

Mike Trout has been the Angels' walkup centerpiece for over a decade — and his picks have been famously low-profile compared to flashier MLB stars. For more on the Angels' walkup tradition and other current roster picks, see the Los Angeles Angels walkup page.

"The Nights" is a 2014 Dance track running 2:57, from The Days / Nights - EP. One other big leaguer uses it too. Avicii is the walk-up pick of 3 players across 3 clubs.

Use Yusei Kikuchi's walkup style for your team

Whether you coach Little League, travel ball, high school, or college baseball, picking a walkup song from a star like Kikuchi is one of the cleanest ways to give a kid confidence at the plate. The trick: most MLB walkups need a careful trim point — the 15-second window is rarely the song's first 15 seconds.

1. Build your roster in Walkup Pro
2. Search "The Nights" by Avicii and assign it to the player who picked it
3. Set a custom trim point so only the best 15-20 seconds plays — most often the chorus or the drop, not the intro
4. Connect a Bluetooth speaker at the field and tap to play on game day
