[Entertainment/Performances] Women-Recommended Crowd-Pleasing Impressions (21–30)
Winnie the Pooh
How about Winnie the Pooh, the Disney character everyone knows? Since it’s a voice imitation, it’s recommended even for people who’ve never done impressions before.
It can also be fun to do a Pooh impression and have him say things he normally wouldn’t, since he’s such a soothing character.
HANA
HANA is a seven-member girl group born from the audition project “No No Girls,” produced by Chanmina.
Their appeal lies in performances that showcase each member’s individuality and energetic stage presence that leaves a lasting impression.
With powerful tracks and catchy sounds, they’re drawing attention at live shows and events.
The key when imitating them is to incorporate the group’s signature poses and chants, and to highlight each member’s unique traits.
Adding simple moves everyone can do together or clapping along to the rhythm will naturally bring out smiles!
CHANMINA
Chanmina’s charm lies in her unique style and strong individuality.
The key to getting everyone hyped is to incorporate her tone of voice, expressive way of speaking, and fashion vibe.
Since she showcases a bold, distinctive style, even adding small touches like a hat, sunglasses, or some street-style poses will get the message across.
If you throw in rhythm-based gestures and free, expressive facial reactions, everyone will naturally smile and feel a sense of unity.
Going a little over the top is just right! Have fun being yourself and try expressing Chanmina’s one-of-a-kind character.
a dog that barks a little
Nakagawake is a comedy duo that’s popular not only in the Kansai region but nationwide.
They’re brothers—an older and a younger—and each of them delivers spot-on, nerdy impressions and everyday-life bits that make you laugh while thinking, “That’s so detailed! They really pay attention,” and even move you a little.
One of the older brother’s routines is “The dog that barks just a little.” It’s about a dog that was barking energetically, gets scolded, and then its bark gets muffled in its mouth—it starts barking more timidly.
If you live with a dog, you know exactly what that’s like!
Impressions/impersonations medley of national/popular anime characters
Doing impressions can feel intimidating…
but if it’s just casually showing off an impression of a famous anime character, doesn’t that seem doable? You often see celebrities on TV mimicking the voices from Crayon Shin-chan or Doraemon, right? It’s also nice that when the character’s name is part of the impression, you don’t need much explanation.
Try performing a few impressions of characters from beloved, nationally famous anime—like a medley!
Tetsuya Takeda
This is an impression of Takeshi Tetsuya, Ringo Sheena, and Yoshikazu Mera by the chubby impressionist talent Ringo-chan.
I hear she’s active as a dancer in Ginza.
She’s a newhalf with a cute look—that’s already a curveball—and her repertoire of impressions is an even bigger curveball.
What we can learn from Ringo-chan is how to add a twist through contrast.
That seems like a great hint for creating the best entertainment act!
plover
The comedy duo Chidori is especially popular among the younger generation.
This video looks like Chidori too, but… it actually isn’t (lol).
It’s Mekaru and Tamukai from the manzai trio Senshi, who perform at the Yoshimoto Manzai Theater in Osaka.
These two have been talked about for resembling Chidori, but they’re actually doing impressions of Chidori! Chidori’s routines might seem difficult, but as you can see, if you focus on key points like accenting certain pronunciations and the way they laugh, you might be able to pull it off.
LiSA
The powerful, emotionally charged ballad Homura, which became a big sensation as the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.
LiSA is a popular artist known for her strong vocals and expressive delivery.
Simply imitating her tone and gestures—full of energy and passion—will spread smiles all around.
By incorporating poses like a deep breath before singing, cheerful waving, and gestures that reach out to the audience, you can more easily convey LiSA’s on-stage presence.
milet
Milet’s mysterious, commanding voice and distinctive singing style are truly captivating.
Just slightly exaggerating her way of speaking or singing can instantly lighten the mood.
When she sings, she skillfully balances breath and voice and delivers richly emotional performances, so if you keep that unique phrasing—and her cool, mysterious vibe—in mind as you imitate her, you’ll make a strong impression right away.
Create that familiar atmosphere everyone recognizes, and craft a warm, smiling moment!
tuki.
Tuki., who also performed at the 2024 year-end Kouhaku Uta Gassen, is also famous for being a singer who doesn’t show her face.
In places where many people know she doesn’t show her face, it might go over even better.
Face away from the audience and sing like she does; it’s a complete bit until someone jokes, “Show us your face!” Of course, it’s also fun to skip the comedy and just sing well.
Her vocal tone has a slightly chesty, enclosed quality, so keep watching her performances and practice to match her style.
