“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!
LOVE MachineMorning Musume
Many people know Morning Musume’s “LOVE Machine.” Just swing your hands left and right to the beat or copy a few simple moves, and smiles will quickly spread.
The energetic dance makes people around you naturally want to sway along, instantly brightening the atmosphere.
If you call out to each other in time with the song, the sense of togetherness at the party will jump way up! It’s an easy, low-pressure dance, so even first-timers are fine.
People around you will get drawn in and start dancing too, and everyone will end up laughing together and having a blast!
K-pop dance
K-pop dance is getting more and more exposure on TV and has become popular with a wide range of people.
If you’re a woman who wants to liven up the atmosphere not by going for laughs at a party, but by showing off your cute side, why not perform a K-pop dance? Mixing old and new hits in an omnibus-style routine—like Girls’ Generation’s “Gee” and NiziU’s “Make You Happy,” both of which sparked buzz—would be a great way to entertain people across different generations.
Depending on the scale of your party trick, teaming up with a large group to perform a full-on dance is also highly recommended!

Place a toothpick on your eyelashesNEW!
A fun one-shot party trick that’s easy for women to pull off is balancing toothpicks on your eyelashes.
Don’t stop at one—challenge yourself to see how many you can stack.
One by itself isn’t much, but as you get two, three, and more toothpicks resting on your lashes, the crowd will really get into it.
It also looks great in photos, so it might be perfect when you want to capture some fun memories.
There’s no practice required, so go ahead and give it a try.
You could even use false eyelashes just for the occasion.
recorder performanceNEW!
If you’re looking for a quick musical gag, how about using a recorder? You probably associate the recorder with playing children’s songs, but you can play popular tunes on it as well.
There are plenty of performance videos out there, so you can just imitate them and practice.
Start by finding a song you like.
It’s already funny the moment you pull out a recorder that reminds people of grade school, and the crowd will get hyped when you launch into a popular song from there.
Magic using a smartphone
A heart-pounding magic trick that lets you know someone’s smartphone passcode.
You can use it as a magic performance, but it’s also a handy technique if you secretly want to find out a family member’s or partner’s passcode.
It uses the iPhone’s calculator: first, have the person enter their passcode so the performer can’t see it, then have them add a random four-digit number.
After that, by pressing the minus button and then the equals button, you can immediately see the originally entered number—taking advantage of how the calculator works.
Sing in a dialect
Singing in a dialect is a fun idea that warms everyone’s hearts and brings out smiles! Just adding a slightly different intonation or ending to your words instantly grabs the audience’s interest.
For example, try singing a song you know in the dialect of your hometown, or switch a popular song into a dialect—before you know it, people will be smiling and saying, “That dialect is so cute!” Dialects have a unique sound and warmth rooted in their regions, so simply singing in one can create a cozy atmosphere and make conversation flow more naturally—another reason it really livens things up.
It’s easy to try, so even if you feel a little shy, give it a go and have fun!
