[Dancing Tamaire] Fun Songs for Tamaire Recommended for Sports Day (51–60)
Telephoto MarchBUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Bouen no March” has been used in a video game commercial, so I think many people have heard it.
Its sense of speed and lyrics that express a bit of dissatisfaction with the present will likely resonate with younger listeners.
Of course it fits a sports festival, and since it’s a game commercial song, it would suit a school field day too.
I think it would really sharpen up the beanbag toss event.
Crimson Skylecca
This is the song Akasora by reggae singer Rekka.
From the music video, I think it’s set around late summer to early autumn.
It’s an upbeat track about making friends and creating fun memories, so I think it’s a great fit for getting pumped up with teammates at school sports festivals or field days.
It would go especially well with the tama-ire (ball-toss) event.
Miracle ~To the Future~whiteeeen
A song covered by whiteeeen from GReeeeN’s massive hit “Kiseki.” It also became well-known as the theme song for the film “Aozora Yell.” It lifts the spirits of everyone who’s worked hard to hype up the sports day.
How about this passionate anthem of youth for the ball-toss game?
Dancing HeroOginome Yōko
This is one of Yoko Oginome’s own hit songs that has repeatedly dominated the charts—as the hype song for Tunnels’ comedy skits and as the anthem for the “bubble dance.” Since Oginome released it in 1985, it truly is a timeless hit that keeps on resonating.
Whether you go with Oginome’s cool original choreography or the slightly comical bubble dance, you’re guaranteed to have fun.
The climax of the song really builds, so be ready with a pose that lands perfectly.
If you’re unsure what to choose, you can’t go wrong with this track!
Dancing Tamaire: Fun Songs for Beanbag Toss at Sports Day (61–70)
ThrillBAND-MAID
This is a song by BAND-MAID, a band that wears maid outfits and plays rock.
Contrary to their appearance, it’s a very rock-driven track that really pumps you up, so I think it would heat up the beanbag toss event at a school sports day.
dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
Featured as the theme song for Fuji TV’s morning information program “Mezamashi 8,” this work—symbolizing a new step for Mrs.
GREEN APPLE—surpassed 100 million streams in just three months.
It also won the Excellent Work Award at the 2022 Japan Record Awards.
With its lively sound and powerful vocals, this pop track delivers an exhilarating performance that boosts your spirits.
The lyrics, which emphasize the importance of enjoying life, are perfect for children fully embracing the fun of a sports day.
It seems well-suited not only for the ball-toss game but for various scenes throughout the event.
Sword DanceAramu Hachaturiannu
This piece is the music used in the final act of Aram Khachaturian’s 1942 ballet Gayane, and it’s probably recognized by people of all ages as a school sports day tune.
Depicting a battle dance in which Kurds perform with swords, this piece was reportedly composed overnight when Khachaturian had to add the scene on short notice.
