Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

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!”

Slogans are an essential part of any school festival, aren’t they?

Each year, you probably put forward a slogan to express what kind of festival you want it to be, but deciding on the right words can be quite hard.

Among all the ideas, I’m sure many members of the planning committee are thinking, “If we’re doing this, let’s make the slogan stylish and cool!”

So in this article, we’ll introduce stylish slogan ideas.

We’ve got suggestions in Japanese, English, and other languages too, so be sure to use them as a reference!

A curated list of stylish slogan ideas for your school festival (51–60)

Make you happy

These words honestly express the desire to bring smiles to everyone who takes part.

It’s not just about us having fun, but creating a place where those who come can also enjoy themselves.

It becomes an opportunity to plan concepts and performances that value the spirit of hospitality.

At food stalls, aiming for cheerful customer service, and in stage presentations, incorporating ideas that let the audience get excited together, are especially effective.

Using smiling faces and colorful designs in pamphlets and posters conveys the warm atmosphere of the entire cultural festival.

It’s a wonderful theme that brightens our own hearts by making someone else smile.

Festival over flowers

A scene of cherry-blossom viewing where people are more absorbed in dumplings than flowers.

It’s a phrase inspired by “hana yori dango” (preferring practical things over elegance), expressing a preference for the tangible right in front of you over refined taste.

By making “pay attention to the school festival rather than the flowers” the theme, it conveys confidence in the festival that has been built up to this point.

The inclusion of the word “flowers” also helps evoke the lively atmosphere of the festival, which is a nice touch.

Another point is the light, lilting sound of the phrase, suggesting a wish for visitors to casually have fun and emphasizing the enjoyment of the school festival.

Blooming〇〇 Flower

For those who prefer an English slogan over four-character idioms or proverbs, we recommend “Blooming ○○ Flower.” It’s also a great choice for schools with lots of flowers.

Fill in ○○ with your class or school name.

To match this slogan, decorate with plenty of flowers to create a truly “flourishing” atmosphere.

Use tissue-paper flowers, origami flowers, or even a giant flower object as a symbolic centerpiece.

Try incorporating floral elements into the way you present the slogan, too!

Create, Inspire, Change

The slogan “Create, Inspire, Change” conveys the nuance of “Create, lift your spirits, and bring about change!”—a powerful and reassuring message.

At many schools, cultural festivals are organized by class, with every classmate working together to create something as one.

The process of uniting your hearts and building something together will become a treasure beyond anything else.

Let this strong slogan be your foundation—join forces and make your cultural festival truly wonderful.

Don’t worry, Be happy

I think everyone feels anxious about whether their preparation and effort will pay off and whether they’ll grasp success.

It’s a slogan that gently supports those anxious feelings—ones you might even feel on the day of the school festival—while nudging you kindly toward a fun time.

With a positive message like “No worries—let’s have fun,” it seems to loosen tense hearts with a light, easygoing vibe.

By presenting words that gently stay by your side, it’s a phrase that also evokes images of your friends and the bonds you share.

Every day is a new day

This is a famous quote from The Old Man and the Sea by the American writer Ernest Hemingway.

It means “Every day is a new day,” expressing a determination not to give up and to live each day with a fresh mindset.

Even if today was a bad day, tomorrow might be better—it’s a phrase filled with a forward-looking approach that doesn’t dwell on the present day.

Along with the image of someone trying to live each day with a renewed spirit, it also conveys a positive resolve to make the most of every day.

It has a refreshing tone that seems to emphasize enjoying the limited time of an event to the fullest.

Let’s Make History Together

The slogan “Let’s Make History Together,” recommended for school festivals, conveys a sense of unity and hope for the future, meaning “let’s create history together.” Using an English slogan changes the impression and gives it a stylish feel.

It’s also appealing to add a message about cooperation and the future after the slogan.

Check your school’s theme and create a compelling slogan.

Let’s make it a fun and memorable school festival!
