How about putting on a visually dazzling act with some cute balloon art? It’s great that it’s easy to do—you only need two long balloons, which you can even find at 100-yen shops.

First, inflate a balloon while leaving a little uninflated at the tip, soften it by kneading, then tie the tip to the knot.

Once you have a round shape, press in the center and pinch it to form a heart.

Next, use the other balloon to make the handle of the wand.

Make a loop at the end, thread it through the heart, and you’ve got an adorable heart wand.

It’ll really liven things up if you give the finished piece to someone in the audience!

Buruzon Chiemi

It’s an imitation of the well-known Chiemi Blouson.

Of course, with B as well.

I think inside jokes will really get everyone going.

A simple white shirt with a tight skirt is perfect.

I think it’s fine to have women play the with B roles, too.

Impressions that are too subtle for anyone to get

[For Work] 500 Impressions That Are Way Too Niche to Get Across (A)–(Ko)
Impressions that are too subtle for anyone to get

Impressions that are “too subtle to convey” have a kind of charm—you might chuckle a little or feel a spark of excitement even if they’re delicate.

For example, even just with skits based on the sound “A,” if you have this many, the layers of small laughs keep stacking up and turn into big laughter.

One thing to watch out for is volume.

If people can’t make out what you’re saying, the humor is cut in half, so speak loudly and slowly so it reaches everyone.

Another option is to carefully pick about ten, write them large on poster board, and flip through them as you go.

Perform with confidence so you don’t show any embarrassment.

Relatable things annoying women do

A roundup of the perfectly irritating posts from women I've seen lately on social media — a special featuring both the hint-droppers and the trash-talkers —
Relatable things annoying women do

If you’re at a drinking get-together with lots of women, “relatable annoying-girl scenarios” are a great pick.

They spark the reaction of “I totally know someone like that!” while also getting laughs.

Since it’s meant to be funny, it’s best to imitate them with a bit of exaggeration.

Just be sure to choose your material carefully—if the model is someone too close to the group, it can kill the mood.

3 o’clock Heroine: “Common Tropes in Foreign TV Dramas”

3-ji no Heroine is a female comedy trio from the 7th generation.

How about performing their popular “foreign drama clichés” routine as entertainment at a party or drinking gathering? It recreates scenes that often appear in overseas TV dramas—the kind that make anyone who watches them chuckle.

It’s perfect for a group of women to do together, and if you dress and do your makeup to match the vibe, it’ll look great on stage too! Don’t be shy—go big and perform with energy and good rhythm!

Recreating a scene from a movie

Playing a video as entertainment is a classic choice, but it’s important to pick content that will resonate with as many people as possible.

A video that recreates a scene from a well-known movie can be easier to follow and has a built-in sense of story.

Consider creating something that fits the atmosphere of the event, whether it’s a moving scene or a laugh-out-loud moment.

You can either go all-in on accuracy—with attention to costumes and acting—or intentionally keep it simple for comedic effect.

Committing to one of these directions is recommended.

Relatable things about people close to you

Impersonations can be a bit challenging, so here’s a recommendation for women who feel that way: perform relatable “common scenarios” about people around you.

Try recreating a coworker’s quirks, the kinds of phrases they tend to say, or things they actually say often.

The more universally relatable their behavior is, the more the crowd will get into it.

If you bravely poke fun at your boss, it’s sure to get laughs, but be careful not to overdo it and make them mad (lol)!

Flash anzan (flash mental arithmetic) is well-known and perfect for a party trick or a quick performance.

You watch the numbers as they appear, remember them, and calculate on the fly—but it’s also fun to mutter your thoughts or strike a humorous pose while you work it out.

If you’re a bit nervous doing it alone, you can ask some participants in advance to read out the problems or check the answers so they can join in and make it even livelier.

Use clear, expressive movements and pay attention to timing as you give it a try!

Rubik’s Cube

Challenge the Rubik's Cube!
Rubik's Cube

The Rubik’s Cube may look difficult at first glance, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be able to solve the scrambled squares using muscle memory and quick movements.

Learning the solving steps and matching colors face by face is the shortcut to completion.

If possible, doing it blindfolded or one-handed can make it even more exciting.

If you’re performing it as entertainment, adding a message for the bride and groom is also recommended.

Incorporate music and lighting, and make your original Rubik’s Cube act a success!

Tasting/Comparative testing of XX

We will hold the final to determine the world’s best at “Kiki ○○” (taste-testing/identification).
Tasting/Comparative testing of XX

“Tasting/guessing” games are easy to understand in terms of rules and content, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Using familiar items like toilet paper, tissues, or speakers to identify the correct answer makes it easy for participants to join in.

It seems like it would be even more exciting if you get creative with team matches or individual matches.

We also recommend testing your palate with coffee, alcohol, or snacks to guess the right answer.

By increasing the variety of prompts, participants can put their knowledge and experience to use, and it might even spark new conversations.
