It hurts.
This is “Itai-ssu,” a twist on the classic musical chairs game.
Just like regular musical chairs, you set out fewer chairs than the number of participants, and everyone circles around them to music.
The difference is that the floor leading to the chairs is covered with mats studded with acupressure bumps! Can you endure the pain and make it to a chair?
hand soap ball
Hand soap + handball = hand soap ball.
It’s quite simple: every participant plays handball with hand soap on their hands.
The rules are the same as regular handball, but because their hands are slippery with soap, the ball slips, making it hard to throw properly or catch cleanly.
If you drop the ball, you get more hand soap added.
Tonton Voice Sumo
Paper sumo, a game we played as kids.
This is that paper sumo turned high-tech: “Ton-Ton Voice Sumo.” Put on a head mic and go “ton-ton” with your voice—your volume makes the ring shake and light up.
As we get older, our throats grow weaker, but the best training is to use your voice.
With a laid-back sport like this, you can have fun and train at the same time—two birds with one stone.

Ultimate Frisbee
Many of you probably own dogs or simply love them.
That’s why I’d like to recommend a sport you can enjoy with your dog: Inutimate Frisbee.
In this game, a team is made up of three people and two dogs.
Players advance by passing the Frisbee, and you score when a dog catches the Frisbee within the opponent’s territory or enters it while holding the Frisbee.
It’s interesting that only the dogs can score.
This seems like a great way to deepen your bond with your dog.
Plus, their adorable antics are sure to be soothing.
Baby basketball
This is “Baby Basketball,” where the basketball is treated as a baby and the goal you score into is a cradle.
Basically, like regular basketball, teams compete by shooting the ball into the goal, but the ball used is a “baby ball,” which will start crying if handled roughly.
If you make the ball cry, possession goes to the other team.
You aim for the goal by handling the ball gently so it doesn’t cry.
fartlek running
This is a competition called “Variable Pace Run,” performed while sitting on a seat that detects human movement.
In the “Calm Course,” the character on the screen runs faster when you remain still and quietly regulate your breathing with deep breaths.
Conversely, in the “Rapid Course,” the character moves by swinging your arms and legs.
Rather than flailing around, the key to running faster is balanced movement from left to right.
PlanetaLiuming
A planetarium projected across the entire wall, climbing up a starry sky—Planetariuming.
It’s a sport that combines a planetarium with bouldering.
The holds are arranged to form constellations, and the next hand or foothold lights up to guide you.
If you slip and fall, you become a shooting star.
It’s a beautiful, slightly romantic, laid-back sport that really lifts your spirits.
