Recommended slogans for a high school cultural festival: A roundup of school festival themes

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 as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is 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!”

The cultural festival slogan is an important element that symbolizes that year’s festival.

You probably want a slogan that reflects the image of the festival that year—something like “We want students to feel a sense of unity,” “We want it to capture the spirit of youth,” or “It should be humorous and fun,” and so on.

In this article, we’ll introduce recommended slogan ideas.

Since these suggestions are geared toward high school students, we’ve included not only trendy ideas but also four-character idioms with beautiful meanings that you don’t hear every day, as well as longer English phrases.

Use this as a reference when choosing your slogan!

Flight

The word “hishō” means to flap your wings and soar through the sky.

It’s the perfect slogan for high school students creating a school festival with a clear, straightforward goal: to achieve the top sales of any class, to put on a stage more wonderful than anyone else’s.

A school festival lasts just a day or two, but students pour their all into it.

Some may even achieve great personal growth from their efforts here.

This slogan captures the spirit of mustering your determination to say, “For a day of fun, we’re going to soar through the sky that is our school festival with everything we’ve got!”

Resonant Radiant Dance

This year’s Kagidama Festival slogan is “Resonant Radiance, Riotous Dance”! Kagidama Festival 2017 – Kogyokusha Junior & Senior High School Cultural Festival

Resonant Radiant Dance

Hibiki Ranbu, a dazzling and cool string of kanji.

This phrase is based on kyōki ranbu (狂喜乱舞).

The original term, kyōki ranbu, means being so overjoyed that you can’t help but break into a little dance.

Here, the “kyōki” (狂喜, wild joy) part has been changed to “hibiki” and “kagayaki” (響輝, resonate and shine), conveying the idea of giving your all so that sounds and voices resound, and for each person to throw themselves into the school festival and shine.

The school festival is a place where everyone can shine—those running booths, those performing on stage, those working behind the scenes on all kinds of preparations, and the student council.

Use this phrase with the hope that each and every person gets their moment in the spotlight!

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

How about choosing “Set your heart ablaze” as a theme to pour your passion into the school festival? This is the famous line of Kyojuro Rengoku, a popular character from the smash-hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba that has become a cultural phenomenon.

You could pair it with the surrounding lines, or add some new words of your own.

Arrange it so that the viewers can feel the heat.

With this theme, it should also be easier to decide on designs for flags and pamphlets.

A cultural festival of 〇〇, by 〇〇, for 〇〇

Have you ever heard the phrase “X, by X, for X”? It’s a play on the famous words left by the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln: “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” It’s a handy phrase you can adapt in many ways, and for a school festival slogan, you could go with “A school festival of X, by X, for X.” For the Xs, it’s best to use words that represent the students, the class, or the school.

Blue sky beyond the clouds

You may have heard the four-character idiom “Ungai Sōten” as a famous person’s motto.

Do you know what it means? As the characters suggest, beyond the clouds lies a blue sky—in other words, even if your destination is unclear now, a bright future awaits beyond the difficulties before you.

High school and university years are often filled with worries—friendships, romance, job hunting—when you’re pressed to act with your future in mind.

Yet these many worries are a necessary part of life, and the efforts you make through them become an encouraging message: if you persevere, a bright future awaits you.
