Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. 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. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. 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. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Nice to meet you. I’m Yuko S. I teach yoga, meditation, and Laughter Yoga Music. I offer Laughter Yoga Music because ensuring children’s psychological safety fosters the development of their brains and minds and helps them cultivate their talents. I have produced many Laughter Yoga Music recreation sessions that simply let people enjoy laughter, music, and dance—connecting India and Japan via Zoom for both children and adults. My track record includes regularly held Nerima Laughter Yoga classes, regularly held Kichijoji Laughter Yoga Music classes, and occasional Laughter Yoga Music events. I’m currently involved in various kinds of work, and as I began facing myself more deeply, I continued studying NLP—sometimes called an instruction manual for the brain and mind—as well as the deeper unconscious realms of the psyche; I now also work as a psychological therapist. I love music, too. Back in my student days, I was such a big fan of the band LÄ-PPISCH that I even joined their fan club. I was a total live-music girl, spending most of my part-time earnings on indie concert tickets, lol. I listen to music across genres, and since I’ve lived in India, I especially listen to a lot of Indian music.

[Hilarious] Funny Prank & Practical Joke Ideas (21–30)

Siri prank

SIRI LIBRARY PRANK

Siri prank

While people are quietly studying in the library, a loud audio suddenly blares.

This is a classic prank in the West, where you have a speech-to-text app read out a note.

It might not go over well in Japan, but please consider it.

Prank from behind

[Room Share] Prank on my roommate coming home: Make him say “Don’t change the direction of gravity” [Prank]

Prank from behind

It’s a classic prank.

Since it’s a prank you do with your whole class at school, you can’t set it up alone—but doing it together makes it really fun.

After the morning assembly or after everyone stands and bows at the start of class, everyone just turns around to face the back and sits down like that.

The teacher will probably be flustered, but this prank is proof that the class loves their teacher.

If you’re the teacher and your students pull this on you, please forgive them.

electric shock pen

[Prank] Experiment! We tried pranking Yocchi with a homemade shocking pen!

electric shock pen

The classic prank item, the shock pen, still enjoys strong popularity.

It uses a simple mechanism that sends an electric current from the pen, yet many are crafted so well that you can’t tell them apart by appearance.

In particular, students often use stationery, so it may be easier to set up this prank on them.

A prank where your arm falls off

Horror! Arm-Tearing High Five [SUSHI★BOYS Prank #55] Arm Flying Off Prank

A prank where your arm falls off

Here’s a prank to play with close friends.

Use a store-bought fake arm and set it up so that when you high-five your friend, the arm comes off.

When the high-five makes the arm fall off, act like you’re in pain.

If you have other friends around, coordinate with them to make it even more shocking.

People will probably realize it’s a prank pretty quickly, but it’s still a real jump-scare for a moment.

So don’t do this with elderly people or anyone with a heart condition.

You can buy a fake arm online, like a hand mannequin.

Give it a try!

Turn the doorknob into a faucet that dispenses cola

[Prank] Turning the doorknob into a faucet that dispenses Coca-Cola caused a huge panic lol

Turn the doorknob into a faucet that dispenses cola

This is a prank where you replace a doorknob and rig it so cola comes out.

It only works on doors where the knob can be swapped with a faucet-style handle, but first people are shocked to find it’s a faucet, and then they’re even more shocked when cola comes out when they turn it.

The whole area might end up soaked in cola, but it sounds fun.

dig a pitfall

[Legendary Prank Episode] We tried dropping someone into a giant pitfall trap right before they hugged the person they love lololol [Youth☆Shuwa Shuwa Club]

dig a pitfall

How about a prank where you set up a pitfall? Dig a hole and cover the sides with Styrofoam so that even if someone falls in, they won’t get hurt, and put a soft mat like urethane on the bottom.

Then cover the hole with newspaper or thin Styrofoam, and sprinkle sand on top so it won’t be noticed—that’s it.

Be careful about the size of the hole.

If it’s too big or too deep, it’s easy to cause injuries and cleanup will be a hassle.

But if it works, the laughter will be absolutely huge.

A prank where a nail ends up stuck in someone’s hand

[TikTok] Prank: A hand gets pierced by a nail

A prank where a nail ends up stuck in someone's hand

What a painfully cruel prank.

As a woman is doing some woodworking, a cockroach approaches her.

When she tries to crush it with her hand, her hand ends up getting impaled on a nail.

Of course, she already has special-effects makeup applied to her hand.

Her reaction—like she’s just witnessed the end of the world—is beyond words.
