A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Here are some fun prank ideas to play on your friends!

They’re great for those “I’m bored…” moments during school breaks, after classes, or when you’re hanging out at home with nothing to do.

It’s packed with pranks like “no-prep needed,” “using props,” and “using smartphone apps”!

Try them out when you want to have a good time with your friends.

But don’t overdo it.If you keep targeting the same person, they might misunderstand and think, “Do they not like me…?” so be careful!

More importantly, there’s a full-on UFO flying!

More importantly, I tried an app where a UFO is totally flying.

More importantly, there's a full-on UFO flying!

If you’re looking for an easy prank you can pull off with a smartphone app, I recommend the app “Never mind that—there’s totally a UFO.” When you launch it, it opens a camera screen so you can take photos.

The fun twist is that a UFO ends up appearing in the picture.

If you take photos at travel destinations with this app, you can prank people while sharing your memories.

Everyone ends up with the same face.

Let's make masks for birthday parties and surprises

Everyone ends up with the same face.

Here’s a prank using masks that’s fun just to imagine.

Use a computer and printer to easily make a mask and surprise your target! Choosing what kind of mask to use is part of the fun—make it the person’s face, a celebrity, or even an anime character.

Pick the perfect one and go for it.

It’s also nice that you’ll have the mask left as a keepsake afterward.

Song lyrics prank

[Lyric Prank] I sent an idol’s lyrics to my favorite senior, and their self-esteem was so high it turned me off lol [LINE] [Oshi no Ko]

Song lyrics prank

The free calling and messaging app “LINE.” This “lyrics prank” is a prank that uses the LINE app! The LINE lyrics confession that used popular confession songs among high school girls is still fresh in our memories, but this prank uses a stalker song.

A friend who keeps getting closer and closer to your house.

You might think, “Huh? Are you coming over to hang out?” but since they’re lyrics from a stalker song, it’s a bit creepy (lol).

Replace “you” with your friend’s name and send it! Just be careful—people who know the song will catch on, and it won’t work on people who don’t reply to messages very often.

Prank using toilet paper

What happened when we pranked the singer by pretending there was no toilet paper lol

Prank using toilet paper

It’s a simple but laugh-inducing prank you can set up in a school or home bathroom.

The setup is easy: cut a piece of toilet paper about 10 centimeters long and tuck it back in place as if nothing happened.

If you want to get a bit fancier, leave a message on the cut piece of toilet paper.

When someone reaches for what they think is a normal sheet but it breaks off—and finds a funny little note—they’ll end up feeling oddly delighted, even though they’ve been pranked (lol).

makeup prank

I thought it was cross-dressing makeup, but it was just a prank where the face was completely black lol

makeup prank

If you’re a man who’s tried cross-dressing makeup, you know it can be a little exciting.

This is something that totally betrays that excitement.

It gives off the vibe of a beautifully done face, but in reality it’s a funny makeup prank.

Of course, the person being made up doesn’t notice, so the anticipation builds a lot until the big reveal.

Decorate without permission

Sparkling on Its Own! Decorated Carry Bag [SUSHI★BOYS’ Prank #42]

Decorate without permission

There was a time when the word “deko-ru” (to decorate/bedazzle) was popular for things like cell phones and cars.

This prank takes that idea and says, “Let’s decorate the target’s belongings!” It might be best to choose items that are easy to decorate, like a smartphone or glasses.

Normally, people decorate things because they want to, but when someone is decorated against their will, how do they react? It makes for a very entertaining prank.

Tofu-in-the-face prank

[Yuu Birthday Surprise] What if we suddenly smash tofu in his face?! (Prank?)

Tofu-in-the-face prank

A “cream pie in the face” is a classic birthday surprise, but this prank does it with tofu instead.

All you need to do is buy some tofu and you’re ready to go, making it a budget-friendly surprise.

Be sure to have some cleaning towels ready, too.

Of course, that alone might feel a bit underwhelming, so it’s a good idea to give a birthday present as well.
