[School Culture Festival] Ranking of Popular Attractions (41–50)

With local-style karaage from places like Oita and Niigata evolving from a boom into a staple, many of you probably have your own favorite flavors.

Whether it’s fail-safe tatsuta-age style, classic soy sauce, or Taiwanese-style with a spicy kick, it’s fun for the whole class to come up with seasonings together.

Try taking inspiration from famous chefs’ recipes and popular shops’ flavorings you can find on websites and video platforms.

Giant Jenga44rank/position

I tried playing giant Jenga!

When you think of Jenga, you probably picture an indoor tabletop game—fun for the strategy, but with the impression of being a small, compact toy.

How about simply scaling Jenga up so you can enjoy a sensation that’s different from the usual way of playing? Each block can be made by assembling cardboard, and you should make sure they’re all exactly the same size before stacking them.

The interesting part is how the approach changes: how you should pull pieces out, how forces are applied—it all becomes a different kind of challenge.

A story that portrays the bond between the elder sister Elsa, who can freely command ice magic, and her younger sister Anna is perfect for delivering emotion and impact at a high school cultural festival.

With creative touches in costumes and sets—such as dresses and ice effects—you can vividly express the world of the story and captivate the audience.

Incorporating dance and choral singing to the theme song will create a strong sense of unity across the stage.

Performers will find it easy to infuse emotion into songs and lines, and collaborating with peers adds the joy of raising the production’s overall quality.

Its themes of personal growth and family love are powerful and resonate across generations, making it an ideal piece for a cultural festival.

How our February photo booth came together 🃏 It’s hard to keep up with trends, isn’t it? 💦 I’d be happy if you checked out all the videos from last month on Instagram too ☺️ Please search for “sosha_okayama.kids” ♡#TissueArtOkayamaOkayama CityphotoPhoto StudioPhoto studio#HandmadePhotoBoothShichi-Go-San (Seven-Five-Three)#NewbornPhoto#MaternityPhoto#BirthdayPhoto

Three-dimensional decorations are the charm! Here are some Alice in Wonderland ideas.

Many people probably admire the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland.

This time, let’s create a photo spot inspired by Alice in Wonderland, paying close attention not only to the ceiling and walls, but also to the floor.

In the video, nylon threads with playing cards attached are hung from the ceiling, and large, three-dimensional playing cards decorate the walls.

On the floor, lay out satin or other fabrics, and scatter playing cards together with items like lamps.

Live performance by a popular artist47rank/position

Live performance by a popular artist

A live performance by a popular artist at a school festival is a perfect chance to hear the music of well-known bands and artists in person.

If you love music, of course you’ll enjoy it, and even if you don’t usually listen to much music, you might become a fan of how great it is—or even get hooked on live shows.

If the artist is extremely famous and mainstream, the budget might be an issue, but up-and-coming bands or artists with ties to the school or the local area might be happy to take part.

Chalkboard animation48rank/position

Stop motion with a chalkboard!
Chalkboard animation

It’s a clear, easy-to-understand animation where the letters and drawings on a blackboard start to move.

Incorporating the blackboard used in everyday classes into the piece adds a sense of familiarity to the video, which is a nice touch.

It’s an animation made with stop-motion techniques, requiring patience to photograph and then shift the drawings little by little.

To add dynamism to the blackboard drawings, be mindful of zooming in and out during shooting.

It’s fine to have movement only within the blackboard, but since you’re using photographs, you can also create effects where the drawings seem to leap off the blackboard.

Harry Potter49rank/position

How about a costume inspired by the popular fantasy series Harry Potter, which continues to attract attention through various developments including novels and films? When it comes to outfits from the series, the standard is the school uniform: a black robe paired with a scarf in your house colors, which is an easy-to-recognize combination.

If it’s too warm to wear a scarf, there are also ties in each house color, which are recommended as well.

Paying attention to small accessories—tucking a book under your arm, carrying a wand, and so on—will help emphasize the worldbuilding even more.
