[For Band Members] Recommended Anime Songs for School Culture Festival Live Performances [2026] (81–90)
Funny Bunnythe pillows
There are quite a lot of people who like slightly older Japanese rock.
For those people, I recommend the song “Funny Bunny” by the pillows.
It gained popularity among anime fans because an in-story band performed it in the TV anime SKET DANCE.
It’s simply a cool track, and it goes over well not just with anime fans but with general audiences too.
That’s why I think it’s easy to perform at school cultural festivals.
Climber’s High!Numakura Manami
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Fuuka, which aired in 2017.
In the story, it’s presented as being performed by the band HEDGEHOGS.
It’s an up-tempo track full of drive that lifts your spirits.
I think it’s great to listen to when you’re feeling tired.
trajectoryrakkuraifu
The ending theme song for Season 5 of the anime Bungo Stray Dogs.
It’s a full-throttle uptempo track from the band that has continuously handled the ending themes since Season 1’s “Namae o Yobuyo.” Packed with elements from past installments, it’s a song that deepens the love for both Luck Life fans and anime fans alike.
From the intro onward, the beautiful tones of the electric guitar are striking.
Alongside Luck Life’s signature band ensemble, this emotional number lets you feel the journey you’ve walked and the undeniable proof you’ve gained.
KICK BACKYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who is taking the J-POP scene by storm with music that is innovative yet never loses its originality.
His 13th single, “KICK BACK,” written as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man, also drew attention for featuring Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu on arrangement and performance.
With not only intricate arrangements but also frequent key changes, it’s a song that requires tight ensemble work whether you’re playing solo or as a band.
Its powerful, fast-paced energy makes it a modern rock tune that’s guaranteed to fire up a school culture festival for his generation.
far awayASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
It’s a song familiar from the anime NARUTO.
The difficulty isn’t high, so it’s recommended for beginners.
However, if you don’t nail the key moments, it will immediately feel loose.
Keep practicing to increase the level of polish.
How passionately you can sing it is also an important point.
Zankyo SankaAimer
A high-impact, fast-paced track released in December 2021 as Aimer’s 20th single.
Written specifically as the opening theme for the anime Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc, it features a dynamic sound that makes effective use of brass and piano.
Aimer’s signature husky voice brilliantly conveys the love and hate lurking beneath a dazzling world.
The lyrics carry a powerful message about overcoming painful pasts and inner conflict while holding on to hope, resonating deeply with listeners.
It’s a surefire crowd-pleaser for school festivals or cultural festival live performances, guaranteed to bring the audience together.

DifferentBAND-MAID
If you’re looking to unleash some hard-hitting hard rock at a live show, how about this song? It’s a track by the all-female band BAND-MAID, released in 2020 as their seventh single.
It was written specifically as the opening theme for the isekai reincarnation anime “Log Horizon: Destruction of the Round Table.” The aggressive band sound really gets your adrenaline pumping! It demands a high level of musicianship, but that’s exactly what makes it so rewarding to play!
