This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.

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 reflect the company's endeavours.

Lyrics

Japanese

知的創造あふれる英知
共に築こう豊かな文化
夢と希望は宇宙(あおぞら)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
時代の先取り我らが挑戦
未来の創造生命(いのち)にかえる
セガセガセガ若い力

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

Roumanji

Chiteki souzou afureru eichi
Tomo ni kizukou yutaka na bunka
Yume to kibou wa aozora takaku
Shakai ni kouken warera ga shimei
Ashita no souzou inochi ni kaeru
SEGA! SEGA! SEGA! Wakai chikara

Senshin gijutsu tayumanu doryoku
Tomo ni mezasou arata na nagare
Yume to kibou wa umibara hiroku
Jidai no sakidori warera ga chousen
Mirai no souzou inochi ni kaeru
SEGA! SEGA! SEGA! Wakai chikara

Jinsha ittai minagiru toushi
Tomo ni susumou kizuna mo kataku
Yume to kibou wa towa ni tsukinai
Mokuhyou tsuukyuu warera ga chikai
Sekai no souzou inochi ni kaeru
SEGA! SEGA! SEGA! Wakai chikara

English (rough translation)

Intelligent creations, overflowing wisdom

Dreams and hopes are as high as space (the blue sky)
It’s our mission to contribute to society
Creating tomorrow, changing lives

Dreams and hopes are as wide as the ocean
Anticipating the times is our challenge
Creating futures, changing lives
Sega! Sega! Sega! Youthful Power

The people and the company are as one, with overflowing fighting spirit
Let’s move forward together and solidify our bonds
Hopes and dreams are never-ending
Pursuing our goals, that’s our vow
Creating worlds, changing lives
