Exciting Entertainment and Performances Recommended for Men (41–50)
Akira 100%
Akira 100%, whose act stirred up buzz for being right on the edge of what can be shown on TV.
The risky nature of the routine is sure to get the crowd going.
If you look closely, it actually seems pretty difficult and there’s a real chance of failure, so if there are women present, I recommend at least wearing underwear.

Impersonating anime characters
There are many people who love anime, right? So here’s a suggestion: try doing impressions of anime characters.
You could imitate characters from popular anime, or go for classics like Sazae-san or Doraemon to really get the crowd excited.
As a variation, you could perform a series of impressions back-to-back—focusing on voice mimicry and continuously switching between characters.
Another option is to do a skit where you play multiple roles yourself and perform a lively exchange.
Try coming up with content that makes the most of your own skills.
Gangnam Style
“Gangnam Style,” which also went viral on YouTube, is a track released by the Korean rapper PSY.
It drew attention with its catchy sound and unique dance.
How about showing off that dance to liven up the venue? Since many people know it, you might find some who start grooving or even dance along with you.
By the way, when practicing the dance, it’s a good idea to use tutorial videos as a reference.
Sunshine Ikezaki
It’s an extremely simple act where you just shout “Yaaaay!” But by yelling with overwhelming intensity, it definitely leaves an impression.
If you need a skit or party bit and don’t have time to practice, win people over with sheer energy like Sunshine Ikezaki.
Copy of synchronized swimming
Waterboys, which was made into a film in the early 2000s and later a TV drama, told the story of high school boys taking on synchronized swimming.
Still, the “original” practitioners of this sport are women—hence its description as the “flowers on the water.” So what happens when men try to copy it? It was also a routine that got big laughs when Kei Shimizu and Osamu Izumi debuted as a manzai duo in 1986.
Tried playing the lines
It’s an amazing technique where you play spoken lines on the guitar.
The bar is quite high, but precisely because of that, others can’t easily imitate it—so if you have a good ear or you’re a guitarist, why not give it a try? You can pick up lines that are trending, so you can stay timely.
Pantyhose Sumo
Pantyhose sumo, well-known from party tricks and punishment games, is a sure crowd-pleaser.
When you pull pantyhose over your head, your face ends up looking funnier than you expect, so laughter is guaranteed! It would also get really lively if you had a serious showdown between women who’ve set aside their femininity.
