[For Band Members] Recommended Anime Songs for School Culture Festivals and Campus Live Shows [2026]

STAR BEAT! ~Heartbeat of the Stars~Poppin’party

Poppin’Party 2nd Single CD “STAR BEAT! ~Hoshi no Kodou~” Anime MV (Full-Size Ver.)

Poppin’Party’s “STAR BEAT! ~Hoshi no Kodou~” was released as their second single.

It’s an energetic uptempo song that nonetheless draws you into a fresh and fleeting world.

Since the catchphrase of “BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!” is “Let’s start our band activities,” I think it will especially resonate with those who want to spend their school days playing in a band.

Be sure to share the sound you’ve deepened with your friends at your school’s culture festival or school festival!

Yes! Bang_Dream!Poppin’party

Poppin’Party 1st Single CD “Yes! BanG_Dream!” Anime MV (Short Ver.)

This is the first single from the unit of the project “BanG Dream!”, which runs animations and real live performances in parallel.

Since the concept is a band, the songs are cute yet crafted with a solid band sound.

A major feature of the live shows is that the voice actors actually perform their respective instruments on stage.

SUPER BEAVER “Hitamuki” Music Video (TV Anime “My Hero Academia” Season 6 Opening Theme)

The opening theme for season 6 of the anime My Hero Academia was chosen to be a song by the rock band SUPER BEAVER.

HeroAca’s theme songs are packed with masterpieces, and this track is no exception—it’s an exhilarating, fast-paced anthem that really gets you hyped.

The first thing that hits your ears is a guitar riff that blends sharp, choppy brushing with single-note picking despite its simplicity.

Following that, the bass line stands out with its distinctive high-fret fingering, paired with tight, driving drums.

It’s by no means an easy piece to perform, but if you can pull it off, your stage is guaranteed to look awesome! I highly recommend intermediate and advanced players give it a shot.

Teenage Dreammiwa

miwa “Teenage Dream” Music Video

A youthful, energetic number that charges straight toward its dreams.

It was written as the opening theme for the anime BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS.

Miwa opened up a new frontier with Hikari e, but Teenage Dream might be the most band-driven sound in her career.

Those times when you can lose yourself completely are so much fun—they make you feel alive, don’t they? Playing in a band with your friends can give you those beautiful moments that capture a page of youth.

It’s catchy, so I think a wide range of people can enjoy it at school and cultural festivals.

Blue HabitatKitanitatsuya

Where Our Blue Is / Tatsuya Kitani

This song captures a fleeting moment of youth.

Released in July 2023 as the opening theme for Season 2 of the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, it resonated with many listeners through Tatsuya Kitani’s delicate lyrics and dynamic sound.

It portrays, with emotional poignancy, the beautiful memories of adolescence, the pure feelings of that time, and the bittersweet changes in relationships as time passes.

Performed on a school festival stage, it would surely captivate the audience.

scrambleHorie Yui/UNSCANDAL

[“BEST ALBUM” out September 20!] “Scramble” by Yui Horie – CM spot

It’s the opening theme of the anime School Rumble.

I think the upbeat sound packed with ska elements is a lot of fun.

Having a horn section really amps things up, so try inviting members of the brass band and forming a band together.

I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki

Only Looking at You (2019 Remastered)

It’s the first ending theme of the anime SLAM DUNK.

Since it was released in 1994, the situations described in the lyrics feel nostalgic, but the rhythm is pleasant and it’s a song that even first-time listeners can groove to, so it really gets the crowd going at school festivals.
