Hidden talents to liven up the party: Recommended performances and skits for women [2026]

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression.

Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids.

Hidden Talents to Liven Up the Party: Recommended Entertainment and Performances for Women [2026] (41–50)

Blind tasting

Match what you ate using only texture—get all three people to agree! Blindfolded tasting!

Blind tasting

Blind tasting is a game that challenges how well you can identify foods you usually eat without thinking, when your eyes are covered.

Relying only on texture to guess the food, this game brings participants fresh surprises and fun.

By also pinching your nose to block your sense of smell, it focuses on the deep flavors of ingredients you can’t see.

The excitement is guaranteed when everyone tries it together.

It’s perfect for a quick break during a meal or as party entertainment, letting you share moments of teamwork and laughter while experiencing the wonder of taste.

It’s especially recommended for gatherings where you want to deepen communication.

Simple coin magic

Easy and Practical Magic: Revealing the Secrets

Simple coin magic

It’s a simple coin magic trick.

You spin a coin on the table with your palm, and when you lift your hand, the coin on the table has vanished.

The secret is easy: you make it look like you’re pushing it forward, but you actually drop it back toward yourself.

As long as you have a coin, you can do it anywhere.

Butterfly’s Dance

[Magic / Conjuring] P2105 Dance of the Butterfly

Butterfly's Dance

One of the traditional magic tricks, Ukare-chocho (the Frolicsome Butterfly), has been adapted for impromptu performance as Butterfly Dance.

Using a fan to waft a paper butterfly, it flutters and seems to play in midair.

The climax is a highlight of the trick: butterflies appear to pour forth from the performer’s hands.

It’s perfect for women to perform as well, since it showcases graceful, traditional Japanese movements and a dreamlike atmosphere.

However, mastering this trick is extremely difficult, so if you’re thinking of performing it as entertainment at a year-end or New Year’s party, we recommend using magic props.

Koi / Gen Hoshino Handbell Ver.

handbell

Many of you might have played handbells at recitals or similar events when you were children.

They work well solo or with a large group—it’s a type of performance that doesn’t require a specific number of people.

When there are many players, the overlapping bell tones sound wonderful.

If you’re playing alone, you can manage by choosing a slow piece.
