Cheer songs that hype up school culture festivals. Tracks that color your memories (71–80)
Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE
This is a song with that distinctly Mrs.-style sweet-and-sour vibe that will get you grooving as you listen.
While working on a school culture festival, you might find yourself soaking up the fun atmosphere or recalling your childlike heart.
It’s a refreshingly perfect number for moments like those.
I think it fits not only band performances but also shows, dance routines, background music—lots of different scenes.
Since it’s also a love song, it resonates with the feeling of wanting to grow closer to someone through the festival.
Enjoy those heart-throbbing days you can only experience at that time!
dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
If you’re looking for a refreshing song, I recommend “Dancehall.” It’s a track by the rock band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE and serves as a cheering anthem for people who are earnestly giving their all.
The gentle vocals and tender, companionable lyrics are sure to warm your heart.
Another selling point is that it was used as a morning news program’s theme song and was nominated for the Japan Record Awards.
Enjoy it not only as a full band performance but also as background music!
You are the seaMy Hair is Bad
Here’s one song I really want rock fans enjoying the school festival to hear.
In the thick of youth, your feelings for this once-a-year big event must be special—but this is a track I hope you’ll gently add to those once-a-year memories.
Its lyrics read like a piece of literature; they may be a bit challenging, but if you take the time to unpack them, that day of yours might become even more dramatic—and even more precious.

Wasted NightsONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK’s moving rock ballad, “Wasted Nights.” It’s a powerful song that rallies our hearts like a fanfare.
No matter the situation, this track gives you courage—and of course, there are plenty of nerve‑wracking moments at school festivals and cultural festivals too.
Before those moments, this is a song that delivers a strong cheer to us.
It’s a number you’ll want to hear at the crucial moment—be sure to listen to it before a once‑in‑a‑lifetime challenge!

All of Official HIGE DANDism’s songs are super popular with students, aren’t they? Among them, this one tells the story of someone who’s decided to embark on a new journey, and its straightforward message is perfect for school festivals and cultural festivals! The lyrics are outstanding, so if your festival theme matches the song’s message, you should definitely choose it.
As for the sound, it has that signature HIGEDAN freshness, of course! On top of that, the song carries a grand, expansive feel, so I think it will serve perfectly as a theme song as well.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
Many people are probably looking for girls’ band songs that get the crowd going at school festivals.
For you, I recommend SHISHAMO’s “Ashita mo” (“Tomorrow, Too”).
Its bright, refreshing sound is perfect for a school festival and seems to fit any scene.
It’s great not only as background music for dance performances, but also for a band stage where the brass band and the light music club collaborate.
ImaginationSPYAIR
At a lively, high-energy school festival, the upbeat anthem that ignites the audience is “Imagination.” Its bright, powerful melody is perfect for unleashing energy across all kinds of performances, stirring passion in everyone who listens.
With catchy riffs and relatable lyrics, it has everything you need to color a day you’ll never forget.
Let this song, which lifts students’ spirits, help you enjoy the best day to the fullest.
Whether it’s a band performance that brings power to the stage or a dance routine at a culture or school festival, “Imagination” is highly recommended.
