Pink Lady was a duo that sparked an explosive boom in the late 1970s, and even people who didn’t live through that era probably know many of their songs.

How about performing a dance to one of their signature tracks, “UFO”? Both the song and the choreography are comical, so simply dancing it earnestly will create a fun atmosphere.

If there are people who know the song or the moves, having them join in with just the hand motions can get everyone involved and make the space even more enjoyable—highly recommended.

costume Bon Odori

Summer festival staff costume Bon Odori

Let me introduce an idea that will make your usual Bon Odori many times more fun: the “Costume Bon Odori.” Of course, happi coats and yukatas are great, but if you join the circle in a quirky costume, the onlookers won’t be able to help smiling.

Even just adding headgear or small props instantly elevates the vibe and makes the whole venue lively.

Even if you’re not great at dancing, the beauty of this attraction is that simply dressing up naturally brings a smile to your face.

As you move your body to the rhythm, you may even feel your spirits lift.

It’s a participatory attraction that brightens and energizes summer festivals and is sure to be a hit.

Before anything else, from atop the road

Isseifubi Sepia AOBADAI 2

Starting with the single shout of “Soiya!”, ‘Zenryaku, Michi no Ue yori’ captivates you from the outset.

When the staff, dressed in colorful attire, make their entrance with sharp, synchronized movements, their intensity draws your eyes in.

Their finishing poses land perfectly, and the music’s power combined with a sense of surprise spreads a pleasant tension and exhilaration throughout the venue.

Rather than aiming for laughs, their cool, compelling style even elicits astonished reactions from older audience members.

Though simple in structure, this piece showcases itself through movement and posture, leaving a lasting impression of momentum and chic flair.

Japanese taiko drum

We held a summer festival. #nursingCare #nursingHome #careFacility #recreation #rec #elderly #summerFestival #coolingFestival

If you want to liven up a Respect-for-the-Aged gathering, a Japanese taiko drum performance is highly recommended! The powerful drumbeats fill the venue with lively energy and bring smiles to everyone watching.

One of the charms is that you can also enjoy Bon Odori dancing to the rhythm of the drums; even those who aren’t keen on moving will likely find themselves naturally swaying when they hear the familiar tunes.

Drumming together, dancing together, and getting excited together will make for unforgettable memories.

Give this idea a try and create a vibrant, energetic time for everyone!

kayo show (Japanese pop music show)

When it comes to classics that enliven celebratory occasions, nothing beats a “kayō show.” Staff members don kimonos or dresses and perform nostalgic pop songs, prompting handclaps and humming to spread through the room.

Some people’s eyes light up the moment a beloved Showa-era tune starts playing.

There’s room for laughs with small bits of choreography, staging, and props, and it works equally well as a soulful performance or a lively crowd-pleaser.

Even if singing isn’t their forte, the wholehearted commitment wins applause.

It’s an act that creates a warm time where nostalgia and smiles overflow at once.

Rock-paper-scissors tournament

Facility Program Christmas Party Long Version

One event that really captivates people is a rock-paper-scissors tournament.

It wraps up in a relatively short time, and the chance to win prizes is part of the appeal.

Since it’s a game everyone knows, everyone can enjoy it together.

The smoothest and most recommended format is having a representative on stage play rock-paper-scissors against the participants.
