All of the YouthFujifaburikku64rank/position
A coming-of-age song by Fuji Fabric that beautifully captures the wistfulness and beauty felt at summer’s end.
Released as a single in November 2007, it featured numerous tie-ins, including serving as the opening theme for the music program “Oto Moe!”.
The lyrics, which depict the regret and lingering attachment to passing time, along with the anxiety and hope that accompany change, strike a powerful chord with listeners.
Its lyrical melody and resonant words are sure to make a moving opener for school and cultural festivals.
An imperishable masterpiece that students who cherish their passing days should definitely hear.
VSBLUE ENCOUNT65rank/position
A powerful track created by the Japanese rock band BLUE ENCOUNT.
With their signature emotional rock approach, it conveys a strong determination to face one’s inner battles.
Released in November 2017, this song was tied in as the opening theme for the anime Gintama.: Porori Arc.
The lyrics, themed around inner transformation and growth, leave a strong impression.
With word choice and a rhythmic feel influenced by hip-hop—done in BLUE ENCOUNT’s own style—it strikes something fiery in the listener’s heart.
For students trying to break out of their shells and move forward, this might be a song that truly resonates.
Be sure to play it with your friends and shout it out loud at your school festival!
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE66rank/position
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s latest work, which depicts a belief in a bright future, is a perfect song for a fun dance time, isn’t it? The choreography—featuring big, open arm movements and light steps that express joy—helps emphasize the song’s vibe.
If syncing precisely to the rhythm makes the moves too intricate, you can make each move span two beats to keep things more relaxed, allowing more people to enjoy the dance.
It’s also important to be mindful of your facial expressions and convey the cheerful mood with your whole body.
rainbowAqua Timez67rank/position
A refreshing Aqua Timez number that supports those striving toward the school sports festival.
It was chosen as the theme song for the smash-hit drama Gokusen Season 3, starring Yukie Nakama.
For those giving their all at the sports festival, the “rainbow” here symbolizes a moving, unforgettable memory.
Grueling practices, training that just doesn’t go well—many tough days unfold on the way to the big event.
But you have many teammates running alongside you toward the same goal.
With that in mind, even the hard days can turn into “It’ll be okay” on the day itself.
This is a song that makes you feel that, after pushing through, those efforts will become a beautiful, rainbow-like memory.
asking for the moonKANA-BOON68rank/position
A rock song by KANA-BOON, a band formed in Osaka Prefecture mainly by high school classmates.
It’s characterized by guitar phrases that use delay and lyrics in which male and female perspectives alternate.
While the guitar features many single-note lines, the parts are largely simple riffs, making it relatively easy for beginner guitarists to learn.
The bass often plays in unison with the guitar or sticks to root notes, but it also has standout moments, such as passages that double the vocal melody, keeping it simple yet effective.
The drums rely heavily on rhythm patterns with offbeat hi-hat accents that shape the song’s overall feel, so drummers unfamiliar with this pattern should start practicing slowly and build up speed.
About meMrs. GREEN APPLE69rank/position
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s hugely popular song “Boku no Koto,” which captures everyday scenes and feelings, is a wonderful choice for a closing ceremony.
Listening to the lyrics and melody that begin gently and quietly may bring back memories of the emotions and experiences you had throughout the sports day.
Playing it during the awards presentation could make the moment even more exciting.
Rather than focusing on winning or losing, it’s a song that conveys a sense of accomplishment for everyone’s hard work and hope for the future.
Please give it a listen.
mixed nutsOfisharu Higedan Dism70rank/position
A song I recommend both when competing for victory and when you want to hype things up with a festival-like vibe is “Mixed Nuts.” The band Official HIGE DANDism, known for their one-of-a-kind musicality, released it in 2022, and it was used as the opening theme for the anime SPY×FAMILY.
It features a high-energy band sound intertwined with bright brass tones.
The song carries a message that embraces the bittersweet feelings and honest emotions everyone holds, giving you the courage to move forward.
Try incorporating this popular anime track, beloved by students, into your sports day playlist.
