Wakai Chikara (若い力) which roughly translates as "youthful power" is the official corporate anthem of Sega. Since 1991, new employees of Sega of Japan have been given a CD-ROM containing the theme.

While virtually unknown to the outside world, the theme has made it into the public consciousness in Segagaga and as the outro music to the anime Hi-sCoool! SeHa Girls.

The theme was not invented by Sega, but the lyrics were adapted to better suit the company.

Lyrics

Japanese

知的創造 あふれる 英知
共に築こう 豊かな文化
夢と希望は 大空高く
社会に貢献 我らが使命
明日の創造 生命(いのち)にかえる
セガ セガ セガ 若い力

先進技術 絶ゆまぬ 努力
共に目指そう 新たな流れ
夢と希望は 海原広く

人社一体 みなぎる闘志
共に進もう 絆も固く
夢と希望は 永遠(とわ)に尽きない
目標追求 我らが誓い
世界の創造 生命(いのち)にかえる
セガ セガ セガ 若い力
