A surprise for the entrance ceremony. Heartwarming surprise ideas.

Visit of the School Song’s Creators

Entrance ceremony held at Odaka Institute of Technology: first high school in a former evacuation zone; Akutagawa Prize–winning author Miri Yu and singer Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi also offered their congratulations.

This describes the visit by lyricist Miri Yu and composer Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi to celebrate the opening of a new high school in an area that had been under an evacuation order due to the nuclear accident after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.

The call-and-response of “Yeah!” between Nagabuchi and the students looks truly fun.

Enka and Japanese traditional dance

One teacher is singing enka, and another teacher is performing Japanese traditional dance.

As entertainment for a young students’ entrance ceremony, enka and Japanese dance are a surprising act compared to performances of trendy songs.

You might not get many chances to see a live enka performance and Japanese dance at an entrance ceremony.

A breathtaking entrance ceremony unique to an art university!

2017 Musashino Art University Entrance Ceremony Performance 7

This is a scene from an art performance held at the 2017 entrance ceremony of Musashino Art University in Tokyo.

The way the students take the lead in livening up the ceremony is something you don’t often see elsewhere.

It seems there are many students with rich imaginations, and I’m excited about what the future holds.

Chalkboard Art

[I’ve gathered some amazing chalkboard art] Chalkboard art that’s drawn as a surprise at graduation and entrance ceremonies

When it comes to classic school surprises, “chalkboard art” has to be at the top of the list.

Since it’s a surprise that involves creating elaborate drawings using only chalk, art club members and the like might be perfect for it.

For new students, it will be their first experience at the school, so it will likely become an unforgettable memory.

Moved by the chalkboard art

Thank you for the memories — moving chalkboard art — entrance ceremony — graduation ceremony

Chalkboard art is the practice of drawing intricate pictures on a blackboard with chalk.

How would you feel if you walked into your new classroom after enrolling and found a drawing like this? It would surely turn your nervousness into excitement.

It also seems easier to do for entrance ceremonies than for graduation, since there’s less risk of spoilers beforehand.

It’s often undertaken mainly by the art club and similar groups.

A comedy heavyweight crashes the entrance ceremony

[Viking] The moment the news came in that Hideki Saijo had passed away

This one is a bit like a prank, but it’s a surprise where major comedy stars infiltrate a school entrance ceremony to see when people will notice them.

As the tension and boredom of the long ceremony set in, the moment people spot them, laughter and curiosity ripple through the audience, making you feel the power that these comedy heavyweights command.

At the entrance ceremony of Otani Elementary School, Montedio Yamagata’s mascot character “Dio” appeared as a special guest.

Dio sat in the teachers’ section and exited together with the new students, reportedly drawing laughs.

Having a yuru-chara attend an entrance ceremony seems like a fun idea that would help ease the nerves of the new students! It’s said that everyone took a commemorative photo together afterward as well.
