Men’s recommended party skits and performances to liven up events [2026] (71–80)
Soran Bushi
We’re dancing the Soran-bushi, a folk song handed down in Hokkaido.
It was originally a song fishermen sang while working, but it spread nationwide after the dance to Soran-bushi was featured on the TV drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B.” It’s a rough, masculine party performance.
Well Ghost
This is a character that embodies the idea of a ghost emerging from a well—the well itself has become the ghost.
It was performed as a bit by Kazuyuki Sakuma and also appeared in the drama “Yuusha Yoshihiko.” The character cheerfully introduces itself in a light song, emphasizing that it is literally a well turned into a ghost.
Its distinctive look—wearing the well—and the ambiguity of what it actually is make for a comedic touch.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)
Golden Bomber’s 2009 release “Memeshikute.” They’ve even performed it on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, so many people of all ages know it, and it should really get the crowd going.
Beyond the singing and dancing, the air guitar, air bass, and air drums are sure to hype things up too.

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.
Don’t cry.
This is a karaoke performance of Hiroshi Tachi’s classic 1984 hit “Nakanaide,” featuring call-and-response interjections by a group of men dressed in women’s clothing.
The convincing Tachi impersonation and the well-timed interjections are really making the audience laugh.
tile breaking
Many people have seen dynamic demonstrations in karate where roof tiles are broken with force.
Quite a few men may have admired that powerful, cool display.
So why not show off some tile breaking as entertainment at a party? You might think, “There’s no way it’s that easy!!” but in fact, there are special, easy-to-break tiles sold specifically for tile breaking! They’re designed so that even beginners can break them, so go all out, smash those tiles, and flash a confident, triumphant grin (lol)! It makes a strong visual impact and can be performed in a short time, making it perfect for party entertainment.
Perfume performed by three men
Wouldn’t it actually look pretty cool if guys did it—Perfume, I mean? If you match the costumes to that style, it’ll be even more exciting.
Sharp, precise dancing is cool, but I think going for something comedic is also totally valid.
