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!

I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

[Legendary Episode] After learning a muscle one-shot gag from Nakayama Kinnikun that’s guaranteed to make you laugh, it’s just too insane lol

muscle gag

In recent years, training gyms have become more accessible, and more people are working out.

For men who want to make use of their hard-earned bodies as party entertainment, muscle-based gags are highly recommended.

Try challenging yourself to get laughs by using your muscles, like comedians Nakayama Kinnikun, Savannah’s Yagi, or Audrey’s Kasuga! In particular, Nakayama Kinnikun has tons of muscle gags—like talking to his biceps or using his chest muscles—so try finding ones you can imitate and give them a shot!

tile breaking

A man performing a party trick: wearing a headband and breaking roof tiles with his head.

tile breaking

It’s a classic macho party trick.

You can break tiles with your fist, with your head, or stack several and smash them all at once.

If you search online, you’ll find sites that teach tips for tile breaking, so if you’re not confident in your strength, it might be worth a look.

If you do give it a try, be careful not to get injured!

Child of a karate practitioner

Krokop: The Karateka’s Child

Child of a karate practitioner

One of Kurokoppu’s bits features a karateka bursting with energy to the tune of a parody of the children’s song “Father Abraham.” Using the song’s repeating movement sections as a guide, the performer repeats various karate techniques in time with the example.

The gradually more complex attacks—and the visible fatigue that starts to set in—become the comedic hook.

In the end, the routine shifts into movements seemingly unrelated to karate, like “Soran Bushi” or “Murofushi,” showcasing a lively fusion of motions.

Himiko Mori

Today's one-shot gag: The deflated Himiko. #gag #loveYouAdmins #fyp #YanoTheater #oneshotgag #recommended #fypJP #dailyPost

Himiko Mori

It’s a one-shot gag that combines “Himiko,” the legendary queen of Yamatai, with “hikikomori,” someone who doesn’t want to leave their room.

Using the phrase “I won’t leave Yamatai” clearly conjures up Himiko, while the shrunken, withdrawn vibe of a shut-in is conveyed through gestures.

The gag is performed by Yano Gekijō, and it cleverly parodies a familiar phrase, making it instantly catchy.

The bright expression helps convey that it’s a simple, fun one-liner, so why not use it as a reference?

♪ Original Song – Yano Theater – Yano Theater

Your first year as a salaryman is also called being a “freshman.” You’re treated a bit like a guest, yet at the same time expected to be immediately effective, so it’s a daily grind full of pressure.

In that case, how about showing off some “salaryman gags” as a party trick at welcome parties or training sessions? Observing the salaryman life with self-deprecating humor and embracing its pathos could be a good hint for creating material.

Try changing the lyrics of popular songs and delivering your bits with a snappy tempo.

If you want to win over the senior veterans, we recommend Regain’s ‘Can You Work 24 Hours a Day?’
