Recommended songs for group gymnastics: A roundup of tracks to elevate your performance [2026] (21–30)
Tufted puffinHakasé Tarō
You could say he’s someone who changed the image of the classic, staple instrument—the violin.
As many of you know, it’s the violinist Taro Hakase.
In the late 1980s, he was a member of the group KRYZLER & KOMPANY, which took the violin world by storm.
He then made his solo debut and became a huge hit—Taro Hakase’s worldwide hit number, Etupirka.
It’s well known as the ending theme of the TV program Jounetsu Tairiku.
With its expansive melody, it conjures up vast landscapes before your eyes.
It’s a wonderful number I recommend for group gymnastics.
When you’re exhausted or feel like giving up, Etupirka will encourage you.
prideGReeeeN
A huge hit with kids too, GreeeeN’s hit number “Pride.” This song was chosen as the 2012 ABC Summer High School Baseball cheering song.
As you’d expect for summer high school baseball, it carries a strong message.
The simple, easy-to-understand lyrics are great.
It’s a cheering song that everyone can enjoy, from little kids to adults.
It’s a perfect number for sports day.
The bright, rap-like groove and powerful vocals will gently give you a push.
It’s also recommended for group gymnastics performances.

SummerHisaishi Joe
It’s Joe Hisaishi’s “Summer.” It was released in 1999 as the theme music for the film Kikujiro.
Even though it isn’t an old piece, it somehow makes you feel nostalgic, as if you’ve been listening to it forever.
Many people have probably heard it in a Toyota Corolla commercial as well.
It’s a melody that really resonates with the hearts of Japanese people.
I’ve heard that Hisaishi incorporated the sound of a school chime.
Using this piece for group gymnastics would make it especially memorable, as it would engrave itself in the hearts of students going about their daily school lives.
Tumbling high in the sky!!Wada Takafumi
A piece by composer Takafumi Wada, who has worked on music across a wide range of fields including films, TV dramas, TV anime, and games.
Featured on the soundtrack of the TV drama Tumbling, the arrangement builds from a solemn opening into a grand ensemble, heightening anticipation for the performance.
Its depth and dynamic phrasing are sure to raise the performers’ energy and draw in the audience.
A recommended BGM that elevates group gymnastics into a single work of art.
dance hallMrs. GREEN APPLE
With music overflowing with smiles, the entire venue comes together in excitement.
Its positive message and heartwarming melody are sure to bring out kids’ joyful expressions.
Used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi 8” starting in May 2022 and included on the mini-album “Unity” released that July, this track by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is a pop tune brimming with dynamism.
The music video features captivating dance as well, and it has the power to lift listeners’ spirits.
It’s a perfect match for performances that require teamwork, such as group gymnastics.
In actual school sports festivals, it’s a popular choice, and its distinctive sound and bright atmosphere help draw out the fun in children’s performances.
gentianWANIMA
This is WANIMA’s “Rindō.” It’s a track on an album and wasn’t released as a single, but fans say it’s a really moving song.
The “rindō” in the title is a flower that’s the prefectural flower of Kumamoto.
Kumamoto is the hometown of all three members of WANIMA.
The song carries a passionate message: like a lone gentian blooming by the roadside, even if you’re alone and it’s tough, stay just as you are—weakness and all—and grow stronger.
It’s a song I want to send to everyone who’s intensely focused on completing their moves in group gymnastics.
Ryōma-denSatō Naoki
The overwhelming sound arrangement, like a wall of sound closing in, is incredibly cool! It’s the theme song of the historical drama “Ryomaden,” which also made waves because singer-songwriter Masaharu Fukuyama starred in it.
Just from the musical style, you can imagine a grand, large-scale story about to unfold.
It would work well as the finale of a group gymnastics routine, but it might also be a great choice for the opening number to instantly captivate the audience.
Be sure to deliver a powerful performance that won’t be outdone by the music!
