[For Band Members] Recommended Anime Songs for School Cultural Festival and Campus Festival Live Performances [2026] (101–110)

Utauyo!!MIRACLEHōkago Tī Taimu

It’s the opening theme of the anime K-ON!!.

Ideally, the members would be girls only—but cross-dressing could be fun too.

It requires quite a bit of skill, so if you’re confident in your abilities, give it a try.

Nail it, and the crowd will go wild!

Sorry, I can’t be a good girl.Sawai Miku

Miku Sawai, “Sorry, I Can’t Be a Good Girl.”
Sorry, I can't be a good girl.Sawai Miku

The ending theme of the anime Kill la Kill.

It has a strong Showa-era idol song vibe, but it was released in 2013.

The composition hits all the key points of idol pop, giving it a nostalgic feel.

If you perform it live, pay attention to the rests.

Future Saint Seiya Ω ~Saint Evolution~Nagareda Project

Nagareda Project / Saint Seiya Omega ~Saint Evolution~
Future Saint Seiya Ω ~Saint Evolution~Nagareda Project

This is the first single by the band Nagareda Project, who rose to popularity in the “Tried Playing” category on Niconico Douga, and it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Saint Seiya Ω: New Cloth Chapter.

It’s a track that skillfully blends their hallmark simple, feel-good musical style with the characteristic sound of the previous Saint Seiya series.

High School [ANIME SIDE] -Bootleg-Mio (Takagaki Ayahi)

in NO hurry to shout; High School [ANIME SIDE] -Bootleg- Audio Preview (Includes the TV anime “Anonymous Noise” opening theme)
High School [ANIME SIDE] -Bootleg-Mio (Takagaki Ayahi)

It’s the opening theme of the anime “Anonymous Noise.” Since the story portrays bands, singing, and the human relationships surrounding them, this song is also performed as part of the in-story band, in No hurry to shout’s repertoire.

The lyrics, which pour out raw feelings, really hit home.

Vertigo SIREN – image _____ (OFFICIAL VIDEO) / TV anime “pet” ending theme

The ending theme of the anime “pet,” Mémoire SIREN’s “image _____.” The worldbuilding and song quality are crafted to the point where it feels like “this is what art is.” The band sound, which seems calculated down to the smallest detail, pulls you in even after just one listen.

It’s precisely because of the band’s technical musicianship and the overwhelming presence of the vocals that the song’s piercing message comes through.

If you plan to perform it with a band, you’ll need many different sounds, so I recommend at least a five-member lineup.

Hunting SoulHAYASii

TV anime “Dandadan” HAYASii ‘Hunting Soul’ [lyric video]
Hunting SoulHAYASii

This is a track by the in-story band HAYASii that amps up the music of the anime Dandadan.

It’s truly “exorcism metal,” embodying the band’s role in the show of warding off evil eyes.

Just like its soul-stirring title suggests, ultra-fast drums and razor-sharp guitar riffs deliver a blistering power metal sound.

Vocalist Kishō Taniyama’s high-tone shouts are seriously cool, too.

The song was used as an insert track in Season 2, Episode 18, which aired in August 2025.

The creators’ playful spirit—goofing around with total commitment—produces the ultimate catharsis.

It’s the perfect song for reliving the excitement of the series.

The world is falling in loveCHiCO with HoneyWorks

The World Is Falling in Love / CHiCO with HoneyWorks
The world is falling in loveCHiCO with HoneyWorks

It was used as the opening theme for the anime Blue Spring Ride (Ao Haru Ride).

Even aside from being an anime song, it’s listened to by many people.

Its refreshing and beautiful phrases are striking, and the keyboard and piano play major roles.

It also seems well-suited for a wind ensemble arrangement.
