Mark your calendars for February 7-8, 2026, as the Okinawa Beach Sports Festival will take place at the beautiful Toyosaki Seaside Park. This vibrant event promises not only thrilling sports but also a fantastic entertainment experience featuring the popular J-Pop group, ‘Chakarand’. Known for their catchy Reiwa-era melodies, Chakarand is set to elevate the festival atmosphere with their official theme song, ‘Aisuru Watashi e’ (To My Beloved Self).

The Collaboration with Chakarand

This official partnership with Chakarand, who are gaining popularity for their modern twists on traditional J-Pop and Showa-era songs, will add an exciting flair to the beach sports festival. With their catchy hooks and engaging stage presence, Chakarand aims to spread happiness across the globe, and they’re taking their performance to the next level at this event. Notably, their hit song ‘Mongol tsuwn her we?’ has garnered over 12 million views on social media, reflecting their growing influence internationally.

A Unique Beach Sports Experience

The festival isn’t just about music; it also features a variety of beach sports, including the unique frescoball, beach tennis, and Mölkky, bringing diverse activities to participants and spectators. Attendees can enjoy a lively atmosphere filled with competition, camaraderie, and entertainment. Festival organizers, including the Japan Frescoball Association, the Japan Beach Tennis Federation, and the Japan Mölkky Association, have worked tirelessly to promote these fantastic sports.

During the event, participants will not only have the opportunity to spectate but also to engage in various sports at no cost! Families can take part in the ‘Chibi-kko Barefoot Sports Day,’ designed for children and parents, making it a fun outing for everyone.

A Special Dance Collaboration
