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’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

After a couple enjoys a game, the loser faces an embarrassing penalty, right? In this article, we introduce a range of blush-inducing penalty games—from love confessions you don’t normally dare to say, to gestures you’d hesitate to do unless you’re a total heartthrob or beauty.

No one wants to do a penalty game, but depending on the content, it can turn into a fun experience that brings the two of you much closer.

We’ve gathered plenty of penalty games that couples can get excited about, so be sure to make the most of them!

Exposure scoops (11–20)

Expose the lowest score on the test

Do you remember the lowest score you ever got on a test? For those who find this question like a punishment, you probably had an answer sheet you’d rather forget flash through your mind.

I think the conversation gets livelier if you include which subject it was and why you ended up with that score.

It might be a bit embarrassing to reveal your lowest score, but sharing an awkward story can spark lots of questions from everyone and might even bring you and your partner much closer!

Actually, I’m a ◯◯ fetishist.

There are all kinds of fetishes, like scent fetishes, hand fetishes, and leg fetishes.

In everyday conversation, you might even say something like, “I’m really into ___.” By the way, a fetish refers to liking a specific body part or certain behavior of the opposite sex.

Let’s try talking about our own fetishes with each other.

You might be surprised by an unexpected fetish the other person has.

Also, doing a “hidden fetish” quiz together to discover ones you haven’t noticed in yourself could be a lot of fun.

How does your family address you? What do they call you?

For some people, this question basically turns into a punishment game! If you’re usually called by your name without any honorifics, it’s no big deal.

But if you’ve always been addressed with “-chan” or “-kun” since you were little, or you go by a quirky nickname, it might be a pretty embarrassing dare.

It’s probably especially unpleasant for men, maybe? Depending on the person, this dare can get everyone really hyped, but keep the fun and any talk about names limited to that moment.

Imitating or teasing someone about it after the game is over is a no-go.

How do you call your partner? And how do they call you?

Let’s have them reveal the special names they only use for each other as a forfeit! The classic is dropping honorifics and calling each other by first name, but sometimes they actually use “-chan” or “-kun,” or even nicknames no one else knows.

For many people, that’s something they’d never want others to find out, which makes it perfect for a penalty game! If there’s a couple there, you could have them call each other by those names, too.

It might be embarrassing for them, but for everyone else it’s a forfeit that shares a bit of their happiness!

Non-negotiables even after getting married

Too peaceful of an answer lol#NoriPon #Noripon Channel #NoriponCouple Defense Rabbit #DefenseRabbit #CoupleVideo Prank@Noripon Channel [Official]

When you’re dating, imagining the future you’ll share can be such a fun time, right? Why not also try talking about married life? Marriage often means you’ll be spending even more time together than when you were dating.

Still, everyone has their own non-negotiables.

So, try telling each other what you won’t compromise on even after getting married.

It can be a chance to discover unexpected preferences or new sides of your partner.

And before you tie the knot, you’ll also get to understand what they really value.

Call your parents and tell them thank you.

There probably aren’t many people who regularly tell their parents how grateful they are.

You might say words like “thank you,” but how about really expressing your appreciation to the parents who are always doing their best and looking out for you… as a penalty game! Seriously conveying your gratitude—having others watch that—can be pretty embarrassing, right? But instead of making light of those feelings or words, seeing your boyfriend or girlfriend sincerely and straightforwardly express their gratitude to their parents might make you fall for them all over again! It’s an embarrassing but wonderful penalty game.

A single remark that shocked me

@street_memory
[Everyone’s true feelings] When we asked about the one comment from a guy that hurt them...Street interview #Love #UnattractiveMan #UnpopularGuys Love life clichés #LoveAdvice Asked around at Miyashita Park
♪ Original Song – Kobayashi. [Asked at Miyashita Park!] – Kobayashi. [Asked at Miyashita Park!]

Have you ever been shocked by an offhand remark in everyday conversations with friends or family? Try turning that surprising moment into a topic for a couple’s conversation.

For example, if you’re a woman, share something a man once said to you, or vice versa if you’re a man—something a woman said.

Words that were shocking to you might be amusing from your partner’s perspective and spark laughter.

That could lead to a lively discussion between the two of you.

Also, by telling someone about the comment that shocked you, you might find your feelings become a little lighter.
