Dream FighterPerfume
“Dream Fighter” is a song by Perfume, a technopop unit active worldwide, and it was their eighth single, released in 2008.
It reached No.
2 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
With lyrics that say, “No matter what happens, if you keep walking forward, you’ll someday grasp your dream,” and with the members, unusually for Perfume, really projecting their voices, it truly feels like a cheer song.
The music video also showcases their trademark dancing, so how about using it for a sports day dance?

When it comes to songs that lift your spirits, you can’t leave out rock sounds.
As you listen, those soaring choruses make your energy surge.
One rock artist popular even among elementary school kids is RADWIMPS.
“Zenzenzense” is characterized by the rising excitement before the chorus and the explosive, catchy hook.
The lyrics, which express the happiness of meeting someone special, match the scale of the song perfectly.
With its refreshing tempo, it might even be a good choice for an elementary school sports day.
PPAPPikotarō
When you’ve got something on your mind, you just want to brighten up those gloomy feelings, right? At times like that, I want to listen to a song that makes me laugh without thinking.
My recommendation is PIKOTARO’s “PPAP.” This track, which can be taken as both a song and a skit, naturally brings a smile thanks to PIKOTARO’s humor.
If you’re laughing without overthinking, your worries might just blow away before you know it.
Its silliness is addictive, so give it a listen whenever you’re feeling troubled.
It’d be great if it helps you feel like your worries are actually pretty small.
A million years of happiness!!Kuwata Keisuke
With lyrics by Momoko Sakura and music by Keisuke Kuwata of Southern All Stars, this song served as the ending theme for the anime Chibi Maruko-chan.
Its warmly hopeful sound and lyrics make its enduring popularity easy to understand—truly outstanding.
For elementary school students who are about to open up their future—wondering what to aim for, what to become—this is a song I especially want them to hear.
It tells you that a radiant future, and someone who loves you with open arms, are waiting for you.
