10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
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!”

Thunderous applause and cheers

This phrase expresses the wish for everyone to celebrate the effort and emotion of the school festival together.

It evokes the image of thunderous applause filling the venue when presentations and performances end, making it perfect for creating a sense of achievement and unity.

It can also inspire students to give their all in each performance—be it a play, music, or dance.

Adding silhouettes of clapping hands or a shining stage to leaflets and posters will further strengthen the theme.

It’s a slogan that makes everyone who worked hard the star, creating a moment where anyone can bask in the spotlight.

The Promised ◯◯ Land

This one is a play on the title of the manga The Promised Neverland, which was adapted into both an anime and a live-action film.

Put your festival’s name in the ◯◯ part.

If the rhythm doesn’t feel quite right, you can drop the “-land” part! Since the original was “Neverland,” just seeing this slogan conjures up images of a fun, dreamlike school festival.

It’s perfect when you want to express the hope that visitors will enjoy a magical, unforgettable time.

Set your heart ablaze — I’ll give it my all.

It’s a slogan that directly expresses a strong resolve and high enthusiasm for the school festival.

The contrast between forceful, assertive sentence endings and polite ones conveys a quiet fighting spirit.

The formal phrasing of “We’ll get serious” also suggests a bit of bravado, as if implying they simply hadn’t been giving it their all until now.

It’s a slogan that, while brimming with determination to make the festival an absolute success, also carries a faintly glib or flippant vibe.

There are nutrients that can only be obtained from the XX Festival.

Whether it’s a famous line from a drama, a panel from a manga, a commercial, or a gag, buzzwords always have an “origin,” right? But apparently the phrase “There are nutrients you can only get from XX” is considered to have arisen spontaneously, with no true original source.

That’s the social media era for you! It might not be a bad idea to riff on that trendy phrase and turn it into a slogan! Put your class or school name in the XX part.

It’s also GOOD to swap out the word “nutrients” to make something funny! Kind of like an improv joke contest, isn’t it?

What did YOU come to ___ for?

It has the approachable feel of a TV show and grabs the attention of culture festival visitors by posing a question.

Its flexibility is also appealing, as themes can be adapted by class or grade.

For example, using the slogan “What did YOU come to the festival for?” encourages participants to think about their own goals while enjoying each exhibit and performance.

Posters and pamphlets designed in an interview style can further unify the overall concept.

It creates a setting where students take center stage, shine, and each of their stories comes to life.

Recommended for those seeking a slogan that combines friendliness with humor.

Welcome to the whirlwind of laughter and emotion at the XX Festival!

Slogans for school festivals can really attract visitors, don’t you think? I believe a slogan can also change the vibe of the festival.

For the slogan “Welcome to the whirlpool of laughter and emotion at XX Festival!”, please insert the name of your festival in place of XX.

Short, rhythmic slogans are easy to remember and might boost excitement for the event.

Also, using different phrases helps differentiate your festival from others—that’s a key point too.

Wishing you a fun and successful festival!
