Recommended Slogans for Junior High School Cultural Festivals | Carefully Selected Four-Character Idioms and Famous Quotes! (31–40)
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.
If you give up, it’ll be too late to do anything about it.
I’d like to introduce a slogan that makes you chuckle yet somehow warms your heart: “If you give up, the rest is just a missed party.” It’s a playful twist on the famous line from the basketball manga SLAM DUNK: “If you give up, the game is over.” It conveys the nuance of sticking with something to the end—or enjoying it to the very end.
The phrase “ato no matsuri” (literally “a festival after it’s over,” meaning “too little, too late”) is being used differently here, which adds to the fun.
Everyone is living their best life
How about the slogan “Everyone’s Living Their Best Life,” capturing the idea of a culture festival that everyone can enjoy? “Riajuu” is a relatively new term that’s short for “people whose real lives are fulfilling.” It refers to having a rich personal life—hanging out with friends, diving into hobbies, and so on.
The word has various nuances, but here we’re using it in the sense of people who are having a great time.
With this slogan in mind, please make it a culture festival where everyone can have an absolute blast.
NO FESTIVAL, NO LIFE
Music lovers, and even those who aren’t, have probably seen the famous catchphrase “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE.” The phrase means “I can’t live without music.” It’s stylish to take that well-known catchphrase and arrange it into a “NO ~, NO ~” slogan for your school festival! A school festival strengthens your bond with classmates and becomes a lifelong memory.
To color that youthful chapter, “NO FESTIVAL, NO LIFE” is highly recommended!
The distant guest returns.
“Enkyaku sairai” is a play on the four-character idiom “senkyaku banrai,” which means prosperous business with a constant stream of customers.
Coined with the hope that overseas visitors will return as the global COVID-19 pandemic, which stirred the world from 2020, settles down, it was selected as the grand prize winner in Sumitomo Life’s “Creative Four-Character Idioms” contest.
It conveys a desire to revitalize school cultural festivals—many of which had been scaled down—and to bring back their excitement.
It’s a slogan that reflects our times, carrying the wish to hold events in their original form once again.

You mean the culture festival at XX Middle School is the most exciting… is that it?!
It’s the phrase “XX…tte koto!?” which won the 2022 Social Media Buzzword of the Year.
This line is frequently used in the popular manga Chiikawa and is sometimes called the “Chiikawa construction.” How about making a slogan based on it? For example: “The cultural festival at XX Junior High is the most exciting…tte koto!?” The charm is that you can customize it endlessly by changing the first part.

Youth is so dense and intense.
A well-loved quote that represents youth is “Youth is incredibly dense.” This was a line spoken by Coach Wataru Sue of Sendai Ikuei Gakuen High School during an interview after they won the Koshien in 2022.
Although the phrase was said in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it can be interpreted as a message that “youth is about coming together as one” and “youth is something to be shared with others.” It can also be taken as an encouragement to create a school or culture festival packed with rich, unforgettable memories.
