DoraemonHoshino Gen
I also recommend “Doraemon” by singer-songwriter Gen Hoshino.
This piece was written specifically as a theme song of the same name; its charm lies in the comical lyrics that evoke the anime’s story and the catchy phrases laced with onomatopoeia.
Since it’s an anime everyone knows, it would be perfect for a performance at a sports day where people of all ages gather.
The chorus has a more intense sound, so adding choreography would make it stand out even more.
Mela!Ryokushokushakai
Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-piece rock band known for their powerful high-tone vocals and modern pop sound.
“Mela!,” included on their second album SINGALONG, has become one of the band’s signature songs, despite not being released as a single, thanks to numerous tie-ins.
Its encouraging, positive message adds extra sparkle to flag dances.
It’s an uplifting, high-energy tune that perfectly matches the refreshing vibe of a school sports day.

Charlesbarūn
The song “Charles” was released in 2016 by Balloon, also known as Keina Suda, a Vocaloid producer.
The following year, in 2017, it ranked first in JOYSOUND’s overall karaoke rankings.
It’s well known even among elementary school students, so it’s also recommended for flag dances at sports festivals.
The song includes several sections with accents known as “kime,” and if you pause the flags in sync with those moments, it’s sure to make for a cool performance.
HabitSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI is a four-member mixed-gender band that captivates fans with a one-of-a-kind musical style that can only be described as fantastical and with lyrics rich in message.
Their 16th major single, Habit, written as the theme song for the film xxxHOLiC, also drew attention for the addictive dance in its music video.
The flag dance set to the tight beat looks cool when you pay close attention to the formations.
With rhyming, rhythmic vocals that are catchy, it’s a number that will liven up any sports day event.
Gate of GloryHirai Dai
By the day of the sports festival, there must have been all kinds of stories and hard work.
The song “Eikou no Tobira” (“Door to Glory”) gently affirms those days.
Created by singer Dai Hirai as a support anthem for the summer high school baseball tournament, it emphasizes that the days you’ve built up matter more than results or wins and losses.
Its moving lyrics and beautiful vocals are sure to elevate a flag dance.
Although it’s a ballad, it’s mid-tempo, making it easier to match with choreography.
ONEAimer
Singer-songwriter Aimer.
One song that made waves when she performed it for the first time during her Budokan live is “ONE.” Its lyrics are crafted to cheer on people striving toward their dreams.
If you listen to it during a sports day, it’s sure to get your heart pumping.
The uptempo sound is another charm of this track.
With its well-balanced rhythm, I think it pairs well with dance.
In fact, a flag dance is featured in the music video.
You could use that as a reference when creating choreography.

Sing (Cover) – Unnämed
Ado’s songs are wildly popular, especially among younger generations! Many of her tracks feature distinctive dance elements, making them perfect for flag dances at school sports days.
Ado’s passionate vocals have the power to ignite listeners’ hearts.
This track, created in collaboration with USJ’s Halloween event, is a message song we want to deliver to kids today—about believing in your own strength and living true to yourself.
Pair its driving, fast-paced sound with bold flag choreography, and it’s guaranteed to make the audience want to get up and dance!
