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.

impassioned singing

Belting out a song is a simple yet entertaining punishment game.

The key is not just to sing, but to go all-out and sing your heart out.

For someone who doesn’t usually go to karaoke, it can be even more embarrassing.

However, the person taking the penalty might actually be good at singing.

In that case, have them sing a song that doesn’t match their usual persona—like an anime theme, an idol song, or enka.

It’s a punishment game that could work well at karaoke, too.

It’s about having them go all out with a wink—strongly associated with idol-style fan service—to highlight their cuteness.

While it’s a simple motion of closing just one eye, have them think carefully about how to make it genuinely cute.

Getting them to pursue their own version of cuteness will also add to the embarrassment when the wink is perfected.

People who are good at it can pull it off smoothly, so it’s recommended to have someone who seems less confident give it a try.
