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.

Fake food prank

This prank is seriously the most heart-stopping in all of Japan… #shorts #prank #DuelMasters

Fake food prank

Here’s a prank using food replicas that will get your friends and family excited.

It’s simple enough for elementary and middle school students to do, so feel free to give it a try.

First, prepare a food replica that looks like a spilled drink.

Then place it so it looks like the drink spilled onto the target’s PC or valuables, and call them over.

Acting skill is the key to success, so play your part well and draw out a funny reaction from the target.

Here’s a prank that’s perfect for friends or family who get scared easily: use a toy snake.

Slip the snake into the target’s bag or personal belongings, or place it on the chair they’re about to sit on.

Rather than doing it at home or in town, trying it in nature—like at a park or while camping, where snakes might actually be—will likely increase your success rate.

And after you enjoy their terrified reaction, make sure to follow up and comfort them.

Swapping delivered pizzas

[Prank] If I swap a PIZZA-LA pizza with a homemade one, will they notice?

Swapping delivered pizzas

This is a prank where you order a delivery pizza and swap out the contents with a pizza you made yourself.

As long as you can make the pizza, all you have to do is replace the inside, so it’s easy.

If you can make a homemade pizza that tastes better than the delivery one, like in the video, it’s a big success! But then… what was the point of ordering the pizza in the first place?

Drop the breaker during a horror game

Tried flipping the breaker on my friend while they were playing a horror game [Prank]

Drop the breaker during a horror game

This is a prank where you secretly trip the room’s breaker while someone is playing a super popular horror game.

Even just playing a horror game normally makes many people feel cornered, so if the room suddenly goes pitch dark, they’ll probably be shocked and panic.

A prank like this might be a fun way to change things up once in a while.

It could also be interesting to add other horror elements, like making noises before turning the lights off.

Try out different ideas and see what works!
