Impersonation
Impersonations are surprisingly easy—anyone can do them! Just imitate a famous person or character and you’ll bring smiles to everyone’s faces.
If you practice on YouTube, your repertoire will grow in no time.
Add a few gestures, and your performance will rival the pros! If you mimic coworkers or friends, it’ll feel familiar and definitely liven up the mood.
Don’t be shy—give it a try, and you might discover a hidden talent!
Showa-era Hit Songs Dance Medley
It seems that, thanks to the influence of social media, songs from the Showa era are being played more often.
Many people say they relate to the catchy melodies and lyrics that you don’t find in Reiwa-era songs.
So how about a Showa hit-song dance medley for your entertainment segment? At workplaces or weddings, there are often participants from a range of age groups.
With Showa hits, there’s a good chance people of various ages will know the songs.
If it’s a dance to songs they recognize, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
Be sure to practice as much as your schedule allows and put on a sharp, polished performance!
Relatable things about working adults
Once you enter the working world, it’s easy to feel bewildered by how different it is from student life.
The biggest difference may be, well, working.
Many people probably have a lot of thoughts about their company or their business partners.
So why not share the things you’ve thought and felt since becoming a working adult? If you mix in some humor and turn them into relatable “been there” moments, you might get laughs and win empathy from those around you.
If people hear your stories from the workplace and say, “I know exactly what you mean,” that’s a big win.
Everyday, trivial happenings can become fodder for classic office-life anecdotes.
Hunting for those relatable moments could be fun, too.

What’s in the box? game
Here’s an introduction to the “What’s in the box?” game, familiar from TV shows.
It’s a game where you guess what’s inside the box using only your sense of touch.
There’s also a trick: the audience can see what’s in the box.
The key is to be creative with what you put inside.
If you put something unexpected in the box, you’ll get even more laughs from the viewers.
You can also make it a game where someone’s face pokes up from under the box and you guess who it is—that would be a hit too.
Give it a try!
recorder
How about trying a party trick using the recorder that most people learned in elementary school? In school, you usually play children’s songs, which have fewer notes and seem like anyone could play them with a bit of practice.
So if you pull out a recorder at a party, many people will probably assume you’re going to play that kind of tune.
Why not turn that expectation on its head and perform a popular song that’s rarely played on the recorder? At the party, people will first be puzzled—what song is this?—and the moment they recognize it, the room will erupt with excitement.
Eyelash Toothpick Challenge
As a quirky party trick that gets everyone smiling at banquets or drinking parties, the “Eyelash Toothpick Challenge” is super fun.
Balance a toothpick directly on your own eyelashes or gently on false lashes, and compete to see who can keep it from falling the longest! It’s a light, slightly nerve‑racking game that sparks laughter.
Perfect for livening things up—cheer each other on with a friendly “You’ve got this!” and the mood will naturally warm up.
The best tip: relax and just have fun!
Magic using a smartphone
A heart-pounding magic trick that lets you know someone’s smartphone passcode.
You can use it as a magic performance, but it’s also a handy technique if you secretly want to find out a family member’s or partner’s passcode.
It uses the iPhone’s calculator: first, have the person enter their passcode so the performer can’t see it, then have them add a random four-digit number.
After that, by pressing the minus button and then the equals button, you can immediately see the originally entered number—taking advantage of how the calculator works.
