[Entertainment/Performance] Funny impressions recommended for women (31–40)
“Let’s Go! Phantom Thief Girls” danceMomoiro Clover Z
The hit all-female group Momoiro Clover Z’s “Ikuze! Kaitō Shōjo” is a great song to mimic for a singing impression.
Since you can do it with multiple people, it cuts down on the embarrassment, and just wearing different colors makes it look the part.
Another plus is that the dance isn’t too complicated.
It’s even better if you assign roles to match the members’ personalities.
Sometimes deliberately mismatching can actually get laughs and make it more fun.
Definitely give it a try at least once!
Kumi Koda
Kumi Koda took the world by storm with the curious phrase “ero-kakkoii” (sexy-cool).
Even after becoming a mom, her energetic activities keep us excited.
If it’s a party mainly attended by people right in that generation—the majority being 50 and over—it’s sure to be a hit.
First of all, go all-in on classic Kansai dialect; if you can just master that, you’re already halfway there.
One of Koda’s charms is the gap between how she talks and how she sings, so keep that in mind.
Exaggerating a small glottal stop—like adding a little ‘ts’ at the end of words—will make it sound more like a singing impression.
Namie Amuro
Namie Amuro, who decisively left the stage, is now truly a legendary diva.
If you do an impression of her—belt out those so-called Komuro Sound tracks with energy—the audience will take it from there and get fired up.
Amuro was also renowned for her razor-sharp dancing, so this is a great pick for people with dance experience.
It’s even better if you have someone to back you up as dancers like Super Monkey’s! Her slightly nasal vocal tone is another hallmark, so be mindful of adding that nasal quality.
You might also find it helpful to study impressionists like the tribute act “Akinai Nakamori” for reference!
Kohmi Hirose
An impersonation of Kohmi Hirose, who’s known for her winter songs, is perfect for year-end parties.
The key is keeping the energy sky-high and using more vibrato than necessary.
It’s also a signature routine of the impressionist Miracle Hikaru, so you might want to study her singing! I’d love to see confident singers give it a try.
The highlight is basically the high notes, but if you can’t hit them, you can go for laughs from the start with a bit like “Kohmi Hirose who can’t hit high notes.”
Yumi Matsutoya
Yumi Matsutoya’s songs are full of hits everyone knows, making them perfect for livening up parties and gatherings.
There’s even a makeup style—a sort of “template for doing a Matsutoya impression”—that uses bold blush to sharpen the face, so beginners can get into character just by nailing the look.
It’s also an impression that Michiko Shimizu and Ryuji Aoki are known for, so be sure to check out their videos for reference.
Her distinctive high-pitched yet slightly nasal voice is surprisingly easy to imitate, so give it a try!
gorilla
Animal impressions are a classic, and they’re easy for girls to understand and a relatively simple way to get laughs.
Imitating a gorilla is common, but it’s also a sure bet.
The video shows a real gorilla, and it’s footage from Higashiyama Zoo, famous for its handsome gorilla.
So go ahead and steal the secrets of being a ‘good-looking gorilla’ from him.
Characters from Sazae-san
When it comes to Sunday evenings, how about doing impressions of characters from the beloved national anime Sazae-san? There are plenty of characters just within the Sazae family, and many of them are distinctive and well-known.
Popular choices for impressions include Masuo, Anago, and Tara-chan.
If it’s Ikura-chan, just “Babuu!” will do! I think anime character impressions are easier to perform casually and tend to get a better reaction than impressions of real people.
Doraemon
Doraemon is the one who helps Nobita whenever he’s in trouble.
His voice—both in the old and new versions—is distinctive, making it easy to imitate and instantly recognizable.
So let’s get help from that cat-shaped robot from the future when you’re stuck for an act in your impersonation performance, too.
Yuriyan Retriever
Many people struggle when choosing material for a party performance.
Instead of forcing yourself to tackle something difficult, why not try a popular, easy bit? One recommendation is comedian Yuriyan Retriever’s routine, “Choshi notchatté!” (roughly, “I got carried away!”).
It’s a handy line that fits most setups—try using “Choshi notchatté!” to create a short sketch.
Akihiro Miwa
If there are many older people, Akihiro Miwa will go over well.
He’s distinctive and easy to recognize, and even if your impression isn’t spot-on, he has signature lines that make him easy to imitate.
For people in their 30s and up, they’re likely to know Akihiro Miwa from something—singing, musicals, TV shows, or anime voice acting—so why not start with Moro from Princess Mononoke and say, “Silence, boy!”?
