It takes the minds of two siblings to come up with a song that unites a university in the sky. Mako and Matarou Mankanshoku, second-year master's students from Tokyo, Japan, came up with a fight song for the Rainbows that is sure to get fans amped up for the season. The song is simply named "Rainbow Dash."

"So now," said Matarou, "You have Rainbow Dash the pony, Rainbow Dash the university, and Rainbow Dash the fight song. It's a song that we penned over a week, inspired by this old tune called 'Row, Row, Row.' Mako told me to add a little chanting to it to get the crowd really into the spirit of the game.

"We've never written fight music before; in fact, we never had a song, period," said Mako. "Originally, we were going to call it 'Nobody Beats the Dash' but that was wildly inaccurate. We needed to be a bit realistic when writing this piece. It was fun putting it together and then winning the support of the students. Really good fun."

A blaze of fury,

We're from Rainbow Dash.

In any battle you will see us with a grin,

And we'll go all in,

If we're behind, well, don't you mind,

We're gonna get the win

Because we're Rainbow Dash.

We'll never weaken till the game we play is won.

To the young and the old,

The brave and the bold,

We are from Rainbow (20 PERCENT!)

We are from Rainbow Dash!
