Last updated:

Songs and dances are popular choices for party entertainment and performances.

If you’re going to do it, why not mimic the artist in a look-alike costume and liven up the atmosphere? In this article, we introduce popular artists who are often impersonated at events like banquets.

They’re all well-known artists, but if you choose based on the audience’s age range, you can expect an even bigger reaction! Once you’ve decided whom to imitate, take your time practicing while referring to the artist’s original tracks and videos that explain key points for impersonation.

I want to do impressions! A selection of recommended artists who will kill at parties and performances (1–10)

CHANMINA

Miracle Hikaru / Shameless – Chanmina impression
CHANMINA

Chanmina’s charm lies in her unique style and strong individuality.

The key to getting everyone hyped is to incorporate her tone of voice, expressive way of speaking, and fashion vibe.

Since she showcases a bold, distinctive style, even adding small touches like a hat, sunglasses, or some street-style poses will get the message across.

If you throw in rhythm-based gestures and free, expressive facial reactions, everyone will naturally smile and feel a sense of unity.

Going a little over the top is just right! Have fun being yourself and try expressing Chanmina’s one-of-a-kind character.

Yuri

Dried Flower / Yuuri – Long Island Matsuo ver. [Impersonation Grand Prix]
Yuri

If you slightly exaggerate Yuri’s voice and speaking style, and pay attention to the unique pause and expression at the start of a song, everyone will quickly think, “Oh, that’s so Yuri!” The key to getting the crowd excited is to enjoy the vibe rather than trying to imitate perfectly.

Try raising or lowering your tone a bit, and play up the gestures Yuri often uses—exaggerating them makes it easier for the audience to get it.

Pick a song everyone knows and lift the mood with that gentle atmosphere!

HANA

[Singing Impersonations] HANA “ROSE” — I tried singing with 7 roles by one person! - 1 GIRL 7 VOICES (Japanese Singers Impressions)
HANA

HANA is a seven-member girl group born from the audition project “No No Girls,” produced by Chanmina.

Their appeal lies in performances that showcase each member’s individuality and energetic stage presence that leaves a lasting impression.

With powerful tracks and catchy sounds, they’re drawing attention at live shows and events.

The key when imitating them is to incorporate the group’s signature poses and chants, and to highlight each member’s unique traits.

Adding simple moves everyone can do together or clapping along to the rhythm will naturally bring out smiles!

LiSA

[Yoyoyo-chan Sings by Imitation] Homura / LiSA (cover) [Uchimura’s Tsuboru Video]
LiSA

The powerful, emotionally charged ballad Homura, which became a big sensation as the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.

LiSA is a popular artist known for her strong vocals and expressive delivery.

Simply imitating her tone and gestures—full of energy and passion—will spread smiles all around.

By incorporating poses like a deep breath before singing, cheerful waving, and gestures that reach out to the audience, you can more easily convey LiSA’s on-stage presence.

milet

[Vocal Imitation] milet — hanataba. Tried singing an impression of the theme song for the drama “Sunday Theater: Antihero.”
milet

Milet’s mysterious, commanding voice and distinctive singing style are truly captivating.

Just slightly exaggerating her way of speaking or singing can instantly lighten the mood.

When she sings, she skillfully balances breath and voice and delivers richly emotional performances, so if you keep that unique phrasing—and her cool, mysterious vibe—in mind as you imitate her, you’ll make a strong impression right away.

Create that familiar atmosphere everyone recognizes, and craft a warm, smiling moment!

Ken Hirai

Ken Hirai – POP STAR @ Ken’s Bar 2011
Ken Hirai

Ken Hirai is known for his distinctive singing style that uses a touch of vocal fry at the beginning of phrases, and his gentle voice is truly appealing.

Even if you can’t hit high notes, tips for singing like Ken Hirai include using vocal fry, lightly opening your hands and placing them above your head, and closing your eyes—these should be enough to capture the vibe.

Motoki Omori (Mrs. GREEN APPLE)

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Blue and Summer” impressionist/impersonator Beauty Kokubu
Motoki Omori (Mrs. GREEN APPLE)

Artists with distinctive voices are easy to imitate, right? Among male artists, I especially recommend doing impressions of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

It could be fun to gather some friends and recreate the whole band.

Start by practicing their signature songs like “Ao to Natsu.” The song has a driving feel, which makes it great for energizing the crowd!
