Entertaining Performances and Acts Recommended for Men That Will Liven Up the Party

Swan Lake

[Dancing Swan Lake] I taught world-class breakdancers ballet, and it was incredible!

Among ballets, Swan Lake is a classic; the sight of dancers in white costumes lined up and dancing lightly is especially striking.

In a field still strongly associated with women, men are taking on the challenge of ballet—aiming for an even more beautiful and glamorous posture.

In ballet, precise footwork is a key point, so it’s recommended to be very conscious of quality in that area.

Because the program and costumes have a playful, dreamy vibe, it’s important to approach everything else seriously to create a compelling contrast.

drag queen makeup

A Flower Blooming in the Dark: Gothic Dahlia Makeup [Drag Queen Makeup] (English Sub)

Thanks to the accomplishments of figures like Matsuko Deluxe and Mitsu Mangrove, drag queens have become widely known—their dazzling costumes and makeup that enliven shows are truly captivating.

Let’s try a bold, drag queen–inspired look and aim for a new, glamorous version of yourself.

While standard makeup serves as the foundation, actively incorporate elements that add sparkle, with the idea of transforming your face into something entirely different.

Keep in mind that this is makeup for a show, and make the decorations and details equally extravagant.

Because the makeup is so strong, seeing the finished face will naturally make you want to coordinate an outfit to match—that’s a key point.

Caption this photo

[Day 43, Part 2] Learning from Mr. Matayoshi how to come up with a one-liner for a photo

The “Caption This Photo” game is perfect as entertainment to liven up weddings and parties.

You project photos onto a screen or monitor, and everyone improvises funny comments—preparation is easy.

As long as you select the images beforehand, the rest is up to the participants’ wit.

You’ll be excited to see who comes up with the chuckle-worthy one-liners.

It’s recommended for anyone looking for simple, fun entertainment.

Everyone can share a time full of humor together.

parody song

[Parody Song] On the Day of Departure: “Days of the Chubby” – Choral Piece, Vocals: Tasukucoma

When we were kids, we’d get all hyped up singing parody versions of songs without anyone really teaching us how.

Songs from our textbooks, trending hits, catchy tunes from funny commercials—back then, just singing parodies could keep us giggling and playing forever.

How about we get back to that childlike spirit and sing parodies together? For someone who’s overweight, you could jokingly poke fun at their own chubbiness; for someone who isn’t exactly stylish, flip it into narcissistic lyrics instead—keeping it strictly as lighthearted entertainment.

Let’s come up with lyrics that can liven up the mood in different ways.

You might find inspiration on TikTok, so definitely use that as a reference!

Matsuken Samba IIKen Matsudaira

[Official] Ken Matsudaira “Matsuken Samba II” MV

For those who say, “There’s no way I can do a performance alone…,” we highly recommend the Matsuken Samba II act.

You can perform with a big group, and above all, the sheer fun and momentum of that song is guaranteed to energize the venue! Having men take on the role of the female dancers is a great touch, too.

The key to really hyping things up is the singers’ and dancers’ glamorous gold costumes.

You can almost always find them at party supply stores, so try to get enough for everyone.

Get some tube-style pom-poms, the signature wig for the singer—basically, start by nailing the look!

cheer dance

[Official PV] Gorie-chan “Mickey” ~From Heisei to Reiwa~ [Tried Dancing]

If it’s an event with many attendees in their 40s and 50s, how about doing a Matsuura Gorie impersonation and performing a cheer dance? The Gorie character played by Gori from Garage Sale on the popular variety show “One Night R&R” is still funny when you think back on it, and thanks to the revival boom, you’ve been seeing it pop up in various places again lately.

Put on a cheerleader outfit and play Toni Basil’s “Mickey,” and you’re pretty much set! I think it’ll be even more exciting if you perform with a big group! And definitely prepare a blonde wig.

Guess what you ate while blindfolded

Sushi Taste Test: Kamaitachi’s Yamauchi’s palate put to the test! Can he guess the sushi toppings while blindfolded?

There’s a recreation everyone can join and enjoy: a game where you guess what you’ve eaten.

You wear a blindfold, eat something, and try to identify it.

You can challenge yourselves with something that has lots of variations, like sushi, or stick to a single category, like cakes or fried foods.

If you want something even simpler, Umaibo snacks are a great option.

They come in many flavors and are inexpensive, so they’re easy to prepare even for large groups.

Impressions that are too subtle for anyone to get

People in the neighborhood [Impressions That Are Too Subtle to Get Across]

“Impressions that are too subtle to get across” can be a surprisingly fun highlight at any event.

By earnestly mimicking tiny quirks or gestures, you can spark unexpected reactions.

Even if most people don’t get it, the few who do will respond strongly.

Aim for a memorable performance by leaning into the details.

It’s sure to liven up New Year’s parties, year-end parties, welcome parties, and many other occasions.

tile breaking

Tried a tile-breaking challenge and it turned into a string of miraculous mishaps LOL

For those confident in their physical strength, we recommend “tile breaking.” If you’ve been training lately or going to the gym, you’ll find it a worthy challenge! Unless you’re a professional karate practitioner, you could injure your hands or arms, so it’s best to treat this as entertainment and prepare tiles that are easy to break.

I’ve heard that modern tiles are more durable and harder to break.

To be safe, it’s also a good idea to score them lightly in advance.

Whatever you do, don’t let a broken bone put a damper on your important party!

“Idol” danceYOASOBI

[#YOASOBI Idol] Official otaku tried dancing [Oshi no Ko]

Among the performances at the 2023 Kohaku Uta Gassen, YOASOBI’s “Idol” was especially exciting.

After all, a star-studded lineup of idols appearing that year—like Nogizaka46, MISAMO, NewJeans, and SEVENTEEN—took turns showing off the “Idol” dance one after another! If you divide up the highlight sections and have people dance in parts, even those with no dance experience should be able to handle it.

A structure that gradually ramps up the excitement like a flash mob also seems like a great idea.

It’s fun even from the practice stage, so it’s recommended for anyone struggling to come up with entertainment.

The contrast is especially amusing when burly men do it.
