Recommended cheer songs for elementary school students: popular tracks to listen to when you want a boost

Try EverythingAmi

Dream Ami / Try Everything (Dream Ami version)

It’s a popular number loved by many as the Japanese theme song for Disney’s film Zootopia.

It carries a positive, empowering message about never giving up and continuing to try, no matter how many times you fail.

Released in April 2016 as Dream Ami’s second solo single, it also drew attention at the time because she voiced the in-film diva, Gazelle.

Its bright, poppy melody and soaring vocals are uplifting just by listening.

Sing it together with friends at karaoke, and it’s sure to liven up the room.

It’s a wonderful cheer song that gently supports elementary schoolers striving toward their dreams in activities like lessons and school life.

Good Fortune to Tomorrow’s Me / Nanawo Akari

Akari Nanawo, known for her addictively funny voice, is hugely popular, especially among the social media generation.

She’s an artist whose charm lies in pop melodies and highly relatable lyrics.

This track, which was released early in January 2025, is used as the ending theme for the TV anime “I’m a Guild Receptionist, but I Don’t Like Overtime, So I’m Going to Solo the Boss.” The lyrics carry the message “Don’t overdo it—take care of yourself,” offering a gentle push when you’re worn out from your busy days.

Its bright, catchy sound is guaranteed to hype up any karaoke session with friends.

This track captivates with its up-tempo rhythm and energetic vocals.

Chosen as the opening theme for the anime “Pokémon” in May 2023, it became hugely popular among elementary school students.

The lyrics, which depict small everyday discoveries and shifts in emotion, encourage listeners to find a new version of themselves and bravely face unknown stories.

Created through a collaboration between asmi and Chinozo, the song reflects the courage and vitality that asmi says she felt while making it.

It’s a perfect fit for scenes where someone exits at a brisk pace, so it’s also recommended for school events like sports days and graduation ceremonies.

Give it a listen whenever you want to feel excited and uplifted!

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

A massive hit by SEKAI NO OWARI.

Since it became the theme song for the film “Crayon Shin-chan: Very Tasty! B-class Gourmet Survival!!,” I think it’s a number that’s especially easy for kids and elementary school students to love.

It’s a track where you can fully savor SEKAI NO OWARI’s signature pop sensibility.

With a parade-like atmosphere, it’s incredibly exciting to listen to! It works perfectly as everyday background music, and also fits well for showcases like school sports days.

I’m sure it will give lots of courage to elementary schoolers too!
