I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Games to Liven Up a Farewell Party: Ideas That Make Everyone Smile (61–70)

Clothespin tug-of-war

Clothespin Tug-of-War [A Great Game for After-Parties and Year-End Parties]

Clothespin tug-of-war

Just hearing “tug-of-war with clothespins” makes you imagine it might hurt a bit, right? (lol) This game might be more than just “a bit.” You attach a clothespin to the end of a string, clip the clothespin to your face—your lips or nose, for example—and at the starting signal you pull against each other.

It hurts to pull, and it hurts to be pulled.

And if you yank too hard, the clothespin that comes off might be yours, not your opponent’s…

The winner is the person who still has at least one clothespin left on their face at the end.

As the name suggests, it’s a speed-eating cracker game.

Without any drinks until you finish, everyone starts eating crackers at the signal.

When your mouth is empty, open your mouth to show it; whoever finishes first wins a prize.

Just be careful not to choke!

Treasure Hunt

[Who Has the Best Luck!?] Yomesakku’s Brought-In Project ‘Treasure Hunt’ Got Way Too Hype — Egg Hunt

Treasure Hunt

When it comes to games that are perfect for farewell parties, a treasure hunt is the top choice.

The rules are simple and enjoyable for everyone: scatter items that represent “treasures” around the venue beforehand, and have participants search for them.

It’s flexible enough to work for both small-scale efforts and large, high-energy events.

Instead of hiding the prizes themselves, we also recommend a format where participants find slips of paper with instructions written on them.

This allows you to hide “treasures” in places that aren’t visible and enhances the game’s appeal.

By adjusting the odds of winning, or occasionally including duds, the host’s creativity can make the event even more exciting, ensuring a memorable farewell party.

Stocking Sumo

After-Party / Year-End Party / Game Reference Video Vol. 11: “Stocking Sumo” | For After-Party and Year-End Party Prizes, visit Prize King

Stocking Sumo

It’s the stocking sumo you often see on variety shows.

Prepare two pairs of stockings and tie them together to secure them.

If you want to play with more people, you could try using three pairs.

Put the stockings over your heads and pull against each other; the person who keeps their stocking on until the end wins.

Everyone ends up making funny faces, so it’s a game that’s sure to get lots of laughs.
