I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

[Sports Day / Athletics Festival] Cool Class Flag Ideas (31–40)

Baton Pass

A design that depicts the moment of a baton pass against a backdrop of blue sky and a school athletic field is an impactful way to convey an iconic scene from a sports festival.

The wide-open sky evokes hope and a sense of a broad future, while the act of handing off the baton portrays teamwork and deep bonds.

Adding a catchy slogan to this composition communicates the message through both visuals and words, capturing the viewer’s attention.

Emphasizing dynamism in the composition and paying close attention to the athletes’ taut muscles and expressions will create a powerful finish.

It will also generate a sense of presence as if the supporters are participating alongside the competitors, enhancing the atmosphere of the venue.

This is a classic yet profound art poster that visually expresses the importance of effort and cooperation.

pixel art style

A pixel-art-style poster design that incorporates a game-like world view sparks a playful spirit and turns the sports festival into an adventure.

By composing the entire piece in dot art and turning the students into characters, you can create the feeling that they’re taking on roles like hero, mage, or fighter and battling it out.

If you place courses and obstacles against a stage-like background, the festival will look like a level from a game, doubling the excitement of the events.

Finishing the title in a logo style that mimics old game packaging will further enhance the overall quality.

This design not only depicts winning and losing but also challenges and growth, emphasizing that everyone who participates is a protagonist.

It will be a creative piece that even those who aren’t fans of games can enjoy.

Mario

This is an idea for incorporating the world of the globally renowned game series Super Mario Bros.

into a school sports festival.

Centered around Mario in his red cap, familiar items like coins, blocks, and Piranha Plants are scattered in the background to create a fun atmosphere.

By writing classmates’ names on the blocks, you can weave the bonds of your team into the design.

Adding a short message such as “Go! Clear our class’s stage!” will make the entire festival feel like an adventure and draw attention as a unique concept.

A bright, pop color scheme based on red not only highlights the spirit of the Red Team but also makes for a flag that lifts spirits just by looking at it—perfect for boosting everyone’s cheer.

mouth

Here’s an introduction to a powerful class flag that’s sure to draw attention at the sports day.

The theme of the flag is a facial feature—the mouth.

Try drawing a large mouth across the entire flag and placing a message inside it.

Having the message inside the mouth makes it feel like the whole class is speaking with one strong voice.

It also builds a sense of unity and serves as encouragement—“Let’s all do our best!”—helping everyone approach the sports day with a positive mindset.

If you’re having trouble visualizing it, you might get inspiration from TV programs or magazines.

When you hear the word “castle,” which one comes to mind first? If you like history, maybe Osaka Castle or Himeji Castle.

If you’re a Disney fan, perhaps Cinderella Castle or the castles connected to each princess.

In that case, a castle-themed flag that evokes the idea of “fighting as one nation” could be a great idea.

For an aggressive, attack-focused team, a Japanese-patterned castle would fit; for a softer, more easygoing class, a Western-style castle might be a good model.

And if it’s a Chinese or Indian castle, it would give a different impression again.

Nin

This idea evokes both traditional Japanese culture and modern dynamism.

By portraying your classmates as ninjas, each in a different pose, you can express both individuality and unity.

Use ninja-themed motifs like the moon, shuriken, and scrolls in the background, and enhance the impact with a red-based gradient and dramatic shadows.

Adding phrases that match the ninja world—such as “Strike in a split second” or “Erase your presence and seize victory”—will make it even more memorable.

By paralleling the swift movements and seamless coordination of the sports festival with ninjas, the flag itself becomes a symbol of the Red Team’s solidarity and agility.

It’s a design that conveys a Japanese aesthetic while showcasing individuality and creativity.

cheering squad

An anime-style poster design featuring a cheering squad is an appealing way to convey the excitement of a school sports festival.

The image of cheerleaders tightening their headbands and shouting at the top of their lungs embodies a powerful spirit of support, even for those who aren’t competing on the field.

Rendering it in an anime-like style adds approachability and draws viewers in.

Depicting the schoolyard and stands in the background creates a sense of unity across the entire poster.

Adding speech bubble-style messages or cheer phrases further enhances the immediacy.

It’s a design well-suited to an all-participation sports festival, communicating that both the competitors and the supporters shine in their respective roles.
