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!

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.

Friend Prank Ideas: Fun Pranks for Everyone (51–60)

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.

Tapioca that doesn’t run out even after drinking

[Monitoring] A tapioca (bubble tea) drink that doesn’t get any emptier even when you drink it lol

Tapioca that doesn't run out even after drinking

This is a prank using tapioca pearls.

It’s called “Tapioca that doesn’t go down even when you drink it.” It seems like magic, but no such magic exists.

Every time the target leaves their seat—say, to go to the bathroom—you just add a little more tapioca to the cup.

It’s a bit tedious, but it’s a happy prank that even the victim can enjoy, and it leaves them full and satisfied.

A prank where a friend suddenly gets taller

Would you notice if your friend’s height suddenly became 2 meters? [Experiment]

A prank where a friend suddenly gets taller

Actually, there are insoles sold that make you look taller, so how about using them to pull a prank where your height suddenly increases? First, spend some time without the insoles, then step out.

During that time, the prankster puts in the insoles and comes back.

The prank is that you’re suddenly 10 cm taller than before.

It might be easier for the target to notice if the person is originally short rather than tall.

I think this is perfect for anyone looking for a simple and easy prank.

Pretending to splash water prank

[Prank] I pretended to splash water as a prank and they got seriously mad lol #shorts

Pretending to splash water prank

This is a prank where you point a paper cup as if you’re about to splash water, but it turns out there was no water in it.

The key is to make it look like you’re pouring water from a capped plastic bottle into the paper cup.

Reduce the amount of water in the bottle beforehand so it makes a sound when tilted, and insert the tip into the cup to hide the cap—these small details matter.

Also pay attention to the speed as you transition from the pouring motion to pointing the cup at the person, and make sure to build the shock after lulling them into a sense of security.

Play ringtone

LINE ringtone: A music beginner pulls off a surprise performance lol (serious practice)

Play ringtone

This concept recreates classic ringtones everyone uses by performing them with musical instruments.

The goal is to make people instinctively look at their phones.

To make it feel like an actual ringtone, the choice of instruments and smooth performance are key points.

Since the performance is done at a distance that feels like only the target is present, be mindful of how the sound is heard and the distance to the target.

It could also be interesting to create a scenario where, when people look for the source of the sound, they discover the performer.
