yo-yo

We’re introducing yo-yo tricks that are easy for beginners to try.

If you can show off some cool moves with a portable yo-yo, you’ll be the center of attention at parties.

Men in particular might feel a wave of nostalgia.

The featured set includes 10 tricks, such as Gravity Pull, Long Sleeper, Around the World, Tower, and Inside Loop.

They’re presented in order from easiest to harder, so practice and master them one by one.

How about putting on a hero show inspired by real tokusatsu programs? If you can deliver sharp, dynamic action scenes, everyone watching will have a great time.

You could also try creating an original story.

It might be even more interesting if the theme is a company.

Nipple drill

If it’s a two-man act, this one will work.

Isn’t it a routine that just about everyone knows? It’s explained in detail on the official Yoshimoto Shinkigeki channel (lol).

With about 15 minutes on stage, I think it’ll really liven up the crowd.

It’s not very difficult, so just power through it with energy!

Be sure to check out “Beat de Touhi,” which went super-viral on social media.

It’s a track released by Hamaiku, a dance-vocal unit formed by Ryuuichi Hamaya of the comedy duo Kamaitachi and Erika Ta.

Its laid-back melody and vocals, along with easy-to-remember, comical choreography, have become a hot topic.

The gentle message that seems to soothe everyday fatigue is likely another reason it’s been embraced by so many people.

Start by learning the choreography.

The roll dance of “Choo Choo TRAIN”EXILE

Staff-san is good 😆✨ I tried doing a roll dance with the staff 😘🎶#expg#ChooChooTRAINrole dance#fantastics@FANTASTICS

Choo Choo TRAIN (Intro ver.) – FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE

EXILE’s smash hit song “Choo Choo TRAIN.” Its roll dance choreography was also a big trend.

So, how about this for a performance? You don’t have to dance the whole thing—just do the signature roll dance or the easy-to-follow moves, or even just perform the first half.

I think that works, too.

Highly recommended.

Here’s a super pop, crowd-pleasing bit.

You’ll be searching for and finding all kinds of “T”s—there are probably “T”s at the wedding venue, at the banquet hall, everywhere.

Adorably and innocently, and without a shred of shame, express with your whole body the joy of finding a “T”! If possible, get some T-shirts ready to make it perfect.

The Greatest Showman

If you’re confident in your dancing, this is a song you should definitely try.

How about dancing to a song from the musical film The Greatest Showman? It’s a popular track and might even move people.

The key is to dive fully into the role and dance with all your heart.

Sunshine Ikezaki

How about doing an impression of Sunshine Ikezaki, famous for his screaming self-introductions? If you throw away your shame and go all in, it’ll kill—it’s a surefire bit.

Adding your own originality would be great, too! Try creating your own unique Sunshine Ikezaki routine.

Balloon art, a staple of street performances, is a crowd-pleaser that people of all ages can enjoy! It’s also a great pick for a company party.

A motif that’s quick to make and less likely to pop is the rabbit.

It looks adorable, and you can even make versions inspired by the rabbit character Miffy or a type you can wear on your arm! Beginners might need some practice, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll definitely be able to do it—so give it a try!

Freestyle Football

For those who are good at soccer, I recommend freestyle football.

It’s a dance-like performance where you pull off cool tricks while juggling the ball.

Try showing it off to some trendy music—it’s guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
