Impersonation

Impersonation

Impressions are a classic staple for party entertainment! If you already have a few in your repertoire, this is your chance to show them off.

If you don’t have any, YouTube has beginner-friendly routines that are easy to perform—take your time to study and practice them.

Also, if it’s a company party or a gathering with people you know well, impressions of familiar coworkers or your boss can be a big hit, so they’re highly recommended.

the Showa era

Showa Era ~ Gee☆Grandpa

the Showa era

To the tune of Girls’ Generation’s “Gee,” a group of men dressed in retro, Showa-style costumes dance.

It’s practically a completely different performance from Girls’ Generation’s, but it has a strangely cute charm.

It’s a party gag that plays on the pun between “Gee” and “jii” (old man).

chorus

Song of Ultra Seven (Men’s Four-Part Chorus)

chorus

Depending on the song selection, a chorus can swing wildly between making people laugh and cry! You can liven up the mood by choosing a funny song that looks formal at first, or by showing off unexpected choreography.

It’s also great because lots of people can join in.

Stocking Sumo

After-Party / Year-End Party / Game Reference Video Vol. 11: “Stocking Sumo” | For After-Party and Year-End Party Prizes, visit Prize King

Stocking Sumo

It’s a game where two people wear a single stocking over their heads and pull against each other; the one whose stocking comes off loses.

The faces look pretty funny when the stocking is on, and the odd movements make it very entertaining for spectators.

If you make it a tournament and prepare prizes based on rankings, it will definitely get heated.

Instrument performance

Beginner Guitar Course ★ There's still time to master party guitar! Perfect chance for the year-end party!!

Instrument performance

It’s good to perform with instruments ranging from guitar, bass, and drums to shamisen and taiko, regardless of genre.

It works with a solo performer or a large group.

It’s best to choose songs that everyone knows.

It takes practice, so it can be a bit challenging, but it’s sure to get everyone excited.

Fox Dance

Even if you’re not a baseball fan, everyone knows the “Fox Dance.” How about it for entertainment or a stage act? Speaking of the Fox Dance, it’s famous as the routine danced by the Fighters Girls who cheer for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters, wearing fox ears and tails.

Put the fun rhythm to good use, have the guys don cute ears and tails, and do the Fox Dance—it’s sure to get the crowd going.

If you prompt the audience to clap along or join the dance, the whole venue will be wrapped in a lively, joyful atmosphere!
