Recommended Songs for Group Gymnastics: A Collection of Tracks to Elevate Your Routine [2026]

Everyone is a heroAI

“Everyone Is a Hero” Full ver. AI [Official]

Here’s the song by AI that was released in 2016.

It immediately gained popularity upon its digital release, and a full version was quickly produced.

The luxurious arrangement featuring gospel-style chorus is really cool, isn’t it? It became widely known after being featured in au’s “Santaro Series” commercials.

Since it’s an arrangement of the classic Japanese folk dance tune “Oklahoma Mixer,” it’s perfect for events like school sports festivals.

It’s a high-energy track, so if you can choreograph in a way that makes the most of that momentum, it will really highlight the song’s strengths.

Kaiju no Hana Uta by Vaundy: 'Flag & Easy Dance'—A simple arranged dance you can perform at presentations or kids’ recitals!

This work is characterized by an up-tempo, rock-based sound and a fun call-and-response structure.

Released in May 2020, it was also used as the CM song for Maruha Nichiro’s WILDish series “For Us.” It’s included on Vaundy’s second full-length album, “replica,” and encapsulates the experiences of the past three and a half years as a narrative.

Crafted with live performances in mind, the song has become a symbolic anthem of the live scene that overcame the COVID era.

It’s also a perfect BGM choice for a flag dance performance during a school sports day’s group gymnastics.

Dokimeki Diary – asmi feat. Chinozo (Official Music Video)

A song filled with hope for the future and a spirit of adventure.

Released in May 2023 as the opening theme for the anime Pokémon, this track beautifully blends asmi’s clear, transparent vocals with Chinozo’s sophisticated sound.

The lyrics, which depict small everyday discoveries and shifting emotions, are brimming with warmth that gently resonates with listeners.

The phrase “riding the heart-pounding, sparkling air current” leaves a strong impression and is sure to give you the courage to ride the waves of life and move forward.

If used for the exit scene of a group gymnastics performance, it would likely wrap things up on a bright and positive note.

The Legend of AshitakaHisaishi Joe

The Legend of Ashitaka (Symphonic Suite “Princess Mononoke” / Live)

Especially for performances with a large group, grand pieces are recommended.

In that vein, how about “The Legend of Ashitaka” from Studio Ghibli’s masterpiece film Princess Mononoke? Its tone alone evokes a sweeping sense of story—you can feel the thrill.

It makes you think, “I want to watch it again.” It would work well to use this piece for the climax of a group gymnastics routine, matching it with big, powerful moves.

Not only will the audience be moved, but the students might also feel their spirits ignite.

Is there still anything that love can do?RADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do? [Official Music Video]

This is a song featured in the animated film Weathering with You, which aired in 2019.

Its popularity is so great that it hardly needs mentioning; alongside Weathering with You, it enjoys widespread acclaim.

In a very RADWIMPS-like way, it portrays the rougher sides of the world while expressing feelings for someone important, and it’s lovely that it doesn’t just communicate those feelings in a straightforward manner.

I feel the final line points to a great sense of hope.

Using a buzzworthy song like this is a solid choice for a moving group gymnastics performance.
