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.

Infinite Shampoo

[Prank] I hid shampoo in the shower head and made it an infinite shampoo

Infinite Shampoo

For a while, the “infinite shampoo” prank was trending on social media, especially among young people, and now it’s become a classic gotcha.

The idea is to keep pouring shampoo on someone while they’re rinsing, so no matter how long they try, it never seems to wash out.

It’s a bit of a waste of shampoo, but it’s pretty funny.

Paranormal Prank

[Prank] What if a ghost appears while you’re home alone… We tried a paranormal scare prank!

Paranormal Prank

When it comes to pranks, you can’t leave out the scary ones.

If you’re looking for pranks that evoke fear, how about making a ghost? These days, home improvement stores and variety shops sell plenty of special-effects face molds and makeup tools, so put them to use.

Becoming a ghost yourself can really liven things up.

A prank where your tongue falls off

Tried a prank on my daughter where her tongue 'comes off' #trickedmydaughter #prank #lifewithkids #no_way #raisingIrishTwins #Aoi-chan

A prank where your tongue falls off

You’d be shocked if someone’s tongue fell out right in front of you, right? To create that surprise, prepare a fake tongue for a prank.

Start the prank in the middle of a conversation when you put your hand to your mouth, or when you do the “akkanbee” face with kids.

Then casually let the prepared tongue slip out of your mouth.

To make it feel even more real, try speaking as if your tongue is getting in the way, slurring your words.

The prankster’s acting skills are an important factor.

If you’re playing this on small children, be sure to reveal the trick afterward so they can feel safe.

Swap idol merch for my own

Prank: I Swap All the Idol Goods in My Sister’s Room with Mine!! [EXO] [K-POP]

Swap idol merch for my own

If you have a close friend who’s a fan of an idol, a great prank to try is “swap all of their idol merch with versions featuring yourself.” For this prank, replace all the photos on the merchandise—like the idol’s face—with the prankster’s face.

The more convincingly you recreate the merch, the funnier it gets, so be sure to focus on quality when you make it.

Swap coffee and mentsuyu (noodle soup base).

Soooo salty!!! Mentsuyu coffee [SUSHI★BOYS' Pranks #51]

Swap coffee and mentsuyu (noodle soup base).

This is a prank aimed at people who drink coffee often: replace all of the coffee with mentsuyu (noodle soup base).

There’s a good chance they’ll notice, but it seems easier to pull off if they’re drinking from a plastic cup, like the ones from convenience stores.

Just make sure not to use it straight; dilute it with some water before you set up the prank.

A surprise to confess my feelings

I tried a trending TikTok prank on my family (my older brother’s reaction was hilarious)

A surprise to confess my feelings

Even with close friends, there aren’t that many chances to look them in the eye and say thank you.

In times like that, try expressing your gratitude with a little surprise.

All you’re really doing is clearly saying “I like you,” but it still makes the person happy.

Plus, giving them a small surprise adds to the charm.

If you want a heartwarming kind of prank, this is a great pick.

fall backward onto one’s back

[Annoying] TikTok prank of falling backward [Dangerous]

fall backward onto one's back

It’s a prank that’s ambiguously a prank or not—a setup where the instigator falls backward expecting to be helped.

Since they suddenly topple over, there’s a risk you could end up getting hurt if things go wrong.

If you try it, make sure to protect yourself properly, for example by breaking your fall safely.

Doing it with friends you trust might even bring you closer.
