Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

3 o’clock heroine

I gathered common tropes from foreign TV dramas and tried recreating them!

3 o'clock heroine

It can be a bit challenging for women to imitate comedians, right? There are far fewer female comedians than male ones, and many perform in duos.

If you have a group of three women, how about trying a routine by 3ji no Heroine (The 3 O’Clock Heroines)? They won THE W, the 2019 No.1 female comedian contest, and even recently they’ve been in high demand on TV—you often see them on comedy and variety shows.

Their signature is “relatable situations unique to women,” and their material makes people of any gender go, “Exactly!” It’s sure to get laughs with familiar, down-to-earth scenarios!

Yasue of the Unknown Unknown

“Wakamatsu-ttsun’s Dressing Room Visit Notes 2015” – Yoshimoto Shinkigeki: Yasué Michi Edition

Yasue of the Unknown Unknown

We highly recommend Miki Yasue’s signature rapid-fire, sharp-tongued act from Yoshimoto Shinkigeki! One thing to keep in mind: for people who don’t know Yoshimoto Shinkigeki, it might just come off as scary, like you’re yelling.

So we suggest first setting the vibe of Yoshimoto Shinkigeki before doing the impression.

It might also work better if you create a bigger contrast with the final punchline to enhance the comedic effect.

Nankai Candies

Nankai Candies also made waves when Mr.

Yamasato’s marriage and life story were dramatized.

Because they’re such a distinctive duo, they might be well-suited for impersonations.

How about trying it with two people whose builds are similar to theirs? You can’t skip the entrance where Shizuchan aims a finger-gun at the audience, says “Bang,” and then Mr.

Yamasato follows with, “Wow, sorry for being too sexy.”

Lani Nose

[Joke/Bit] Lani Nose “ABC Song”

Lani Nose

Lani Nose, who won the 2019 “Uta Neta King Championship,” saw their popularity skyrocket.

Even before forming their comedy duo—and still today—they’ve been active as a band, and both members have proven musical talent.

Their skits are funny, of course, but their singing and guitar skills make them a duo with plenty to watch.

How about perfectly copying one of their musical comedy bits? Especially at celebratory events, a musical routine played on the guitar can really liven things up.

They’re a highly recommended duo that offers both laughs and musicality.
