I’m not telling you not to do bad things. I’m telling you not to do lame things. You get it?Ikebukuro West Gate Park
Even if you don’t know the original source, many people have probably seen on social media that image of a young Yosuke Kubozuka with his striking hairstyle and languid expression.
The character he plays—King, aka Takashi Ando—from Ikebukuro West Gate Park, a show that aired in the early 2000s to huge acclaim and has been enjoying a revival in recent years, is also widely known online as a meme.
The line in question brilliantly encapsulates his gangster aesthetic, and since even younger generations know it, it should land well when performed at an event with a wide age range.
That said, because the line is so cool, getting shy about it will halve its appeal and might just make it sound corny.
If you’re going to go all in, either fully copy the fashion as well, or lean into it and turn it into a parody for laughs!
There are as many truths as there are people, but the facts are one.Do Not Say Mystery
These are lines spoken by the protagonist, Sei Kunou, played by Masaki Suda, in the drama “Don’t Call It Mystery.” It’s striking because it directly rejects the phrase often heard in dramas and manga, “There’s only one truth.” You can sense Kunou’s way of reaching an answer through his lines: truth changes depending on how each person feels and thinks, yet there is only one thing that actually happened.
His elusive nature is part of his appeal, so it seems fitting to picture him delivering thought-provoking lines with straightforward clarity.
You’re not at an age anymore where you can let your emotions take over and make mistakes.Class 3-A
These are words spoken by the protagonist, Ichifuji Hiiragi, in the drama “Mr.
Hiiragi’s Homeroom,” starring Masaki Suda.
He addresses a student who was about to spread fake information, conveying—emotionally—just how weighty words can be.
Including the violent action of grabbing the student by the collar and pinning them against the wall, you can clearly feel the surge of emotion.
The distinctive speaking style, which hints at sorrow and a guiding tone amid intense anger, makes the line memorable—facial expressions and all.

Dummy, dummy!My favorite flower
These are lines spoken by Yaya Miyuki, played by Mio Imada, in the drama “The Most Favorite Flower.” They’re words she fires off—full of momentum—at someone who rudely insulted Kureha Sato, played by Fuju Kamio.
Despite their simplicity, you can feel how strongly she means them.
It’s an utterly straightforward barrage of insults, and the way she keeps repeating them even as she’s being led away leaves a strong impression.
Even after she’s out of sight for a moment, she comes back to hurl more insults, which adds a touch of comedy to all that intensity.
When doing an impression, it’s important to recreate her facial expressions as well.
In the name of my grandpaThe Kindaichi Case Files
Kindaichi Case Files has been hugely popular across manga, anime, and live-action drama.
In the drama adaptations, stars like Tsuyoshi Domoto, Jun Matsumoto, and Ryosuke Yamada have taken on the lead role.
The series’ signature catchphrase is, of course, the protagonist Kindaichi’s “In the name of my grandpa!” It’s the line he delivers once the mystery has been completely solved, and many people love to imitate it or use it in parodies.
You can deliver it coolly like in the story, or lean into the humor and play it up with a bit of a jokey twist—both are highly recommended!
Zen-ketsu is the world’s oldest investigative agency, dating back to the era of the Yamato court.All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office
https://www.tiktok.com/@zenketsu_fujitv/video/7423813762886552849Produced with a completely original script as Fuji TV’s Wednesday 10 PM drama, the much-anticipated series “All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Unit” began airing in October 2024.
The show has been drawing attention as a drama that depicts the exploits of the “All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Unit,” nicknamed “Zen-ketsu,” which leads the resolution of baffling anomalous cases.
In episode one, actor Tatsuya Fujiwara delivers the line, “Zen-ketsu is the world’s oldest investigative organization, dating back to the Yamato Court era.” It’s not exactly an outlandish line, but that’s precisely why it could work well for comedic riffing; it might be fun to swap out the “Zen-ketsu” part for a completely different term while keeping Fujiwara’s expressions and voice in mind.
I won’t die.101st Proposal
A classic among classic impressions, “Boku wa shini mashen” (“I won’t die!”), is also a great pick.
It’s a line by Tatsuro Hoshino, played by Tetsuya Takeda, from the iconic trendy drama ‘101st Proposal.’ He delivers it powerfully after almost getting run over by a dump truck.
It could be funny if you say it after some precarious-looking bit of staging, and it might get laughs even in a totally non-dangerous situation.
Why not pair it with a small gag and give it a try? By the way, if you watch the actual scene, it doesn’t really sound like he pronounces it as ‘shi-en.’
