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.

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!

“Enkyaku sairai” is a play on the four-character idiom “senkyaku banrai,” which means prosperous business with a constant stream of customers.

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.

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?

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.
