[Entertainment/Performance] Women’s Recommended Crowd-Pleasing Impressions (61–70)
Akina Nakamori
Akina Nakamori is an artist who enjoyed immense popularity in the 1980s and is well known for being frequently impersonated by comedians.
“Desire” is still a karaoke staple.
Her sensual singing style and sidelong glances are signature traits, so it seems fun to really get into character and sing it at karaoke.
Satomi Ishihara
Many of you have probably seen the techniques of impression-makeup talent Zawachin, and impression makeup has now firmly taken root.
How about using makeup to resemble a famous celebrity? Satomi Ishihara’s eyebrow and lip makeup have distinctive methods, so it’s easy to grasp the key points!
Buruzon Chiemi
A classic party act by now? The flashy outfit and makeup of comedian Chiemi Blouson, who was wildly popular in 2017, are truly striking.
She’s well-liked by women too, making her a strong candidate for a look that people will instantly recognize if you do an impression.
You can easily pull it off with just a bright red lip and a blunt bob wig!
Tao Tsuchiya
Tao Tsuchiya, who is active in dramas and variety shows, is also a skilled dancer and has showcased her talents in films and music videos.
How about trying an impression of Tao Tsuchiya, who has such a wide range of activities? Recently, Rei Maruyama’s portrayal of Tao Tsuchiya has been very popular.
She captures the voice and speaking style so well that if you only listen, you might think it’s the real person.
If you’re good at dancing, doing the impression while dancing could be a huge hit too!
Eiko Kano
Within the members of “Tohoku-damashii TV,” there’s a group called the “Kano B-ko Corps” who do impressions of Eiko Kano.
People like Sandwichman’s Date imitate Eiko Kano, and while it’s not exactly spot-on, it’s still unmistakably Eiko Kano (lol).
With his signature white suit and flashy playboy persona, plus the easy-to-grasp, catchy traits of a self-proclaimed handsome narcissist, it feels like anyone could give it a try.
rabbit
The rabbit from Chiikawa doesn’t have any difficult lines, so it’s an easy character to try for both kids and adults.
Instead of proper words, it mostly uses sound effects like “Yaha,” “Haa,” and “Puruya,” so you can give it a go without trying too hard.
Basically, the energy level is high, so the key is to go all-out without feeling shy! You can even do it quickly during work breaks or school recess, so definitely give it a try.
Anpanman
Anpanman is so well-known that you could say he’s the most famous hero in Japan.
He started in picture books, and the anime is hugely popular with kids—Anpanman is something every mom and dad went through in their own childhood too.
So how about doing an Anpanman impression, given how popular he is? Try doing his signature moves like the An-Punch and An-Kick with a bit of exaggerated action.
Kids love it, so it might be great to perform it in places where children are present.
Shinichi Kudo
Shinichi Kudo is a character from the anime Detective Conan, which is hugely popular with everyone from elementary school kids to adults.
If you say, “I can do an impression of Shinichi Kudo from Conan!” it’s a character anyone will recognize! Let’s try doing his voice.
It’s pretty tough since he’s voiced by the male voice actor Kappei Yamaguchi, who has a very distinctive voice, but if you pull it off, it’s sure to be a hit! It’s something you can perform for any generation regardless of trends, so if you’re going to practice one voice impression, Shinichi Kudo is highly recommended!
Ahn Mika
Anmika, whose line “There are 200 kinds of white” has practically become a running joke.
The gap between her refined looks and her Osaka dialect goes beyond funny and creates a strangely captivating world.
The roster of celebrities who impersonate Anmika is impressive: Mikan, Rei Maruyama, and the comedy duo Ranran, among others.
What they all have in common are their smooth, nonstop patter and their confident, upright posture.
And for the background music during the impressions, be sure to use Anmika’s high-energy song ‘Anmika-nival’!
Yoshiko from Gamba Ruyah
If you apply blush heavily and put on a long wig, you’ll instantly turn into Yoshiko from Ganbareruya! In the middle of an ordinary conversation, she’ll suddenly switch gears and shout “Kuso ga!” at the top of her lungs, then next moment strike a mellow, angled pose and say “I’m Koyuki,” doing an impression of Koyuki.
Yoshiko’s world is boundlessly free!
