No More Worries!! A Catalog of Crowd-Pleasing Party Tricks (31–40)
belly dance
Have you ever watched “Gibo to Musume no Blues” (Stepmother and Daughter’s Blues) starring Haruka Ayase? It was a wonderful drama that moved many people with the slightly unusual mother-daughter relationship between Haruka Ayase and Moka Kamishiraishi.
One of the most talked-about moments was Haruka Ayase’s belly dance comedy bit.
The internet buzzed with comments like, “A top actress wouldn’t go that far.” If you’re usually known as a serious person, why not try belly dancing as a way to break out of your shell? It’s a comedy act where you draw a funny face on your stomach and make it undulate or puff out to get laughs.
It’s an act that requires choosing the right time and place, so please be cautious if you decide to perform it.
wotagei
Otagei might look like people wildly swinging glow sticks around and dancing chaotically, but each move actually has a proper name, and what you’re seeing isn’t random—it’s a showcase created by combining specific techniques.
When the moves are tight and precise, it looks really cool and gets the audience pumped.
Let’s practice some otagei and put on a performance! How about trying it with a song from your favorite anime? It makes for a great show, especially when the venue is dark.
The Medicine Peddler (Uirō Uri)
How about performing “Uirō-uri,” one of the Eighteen Great Kabuki Plays? That said, rather than staging a Kabuki performance, try reciting or memorizing and presenting Uirō-uri.
It’s well known as a tool for diction training used by announcers and voice actors.
If you can do this, it’s quite a skill, isn’t it? Can you deliver it smoothly—without mistakes, without stumbling, and without getting stuck?
pantomime
It’s a classic, but it’s a tough kind of pantomime to make look good.
Making an invisible wall seem real or a light bag look heavy—at that point, it’s art.
Because it’s so exciting, it’s also hard to master, but you can come up with your own new bits and it works as a hobby, too.
Definitely give it some practice!
A one-shot gag using a hat
It’s a party trick using a hat.
With a round-brimmed hat, you can toss it high and catch it on your head to wear it, spread your arms and roll it along them, roll it across your back up to your head and put it on, and so on.
It takes a bit of practice, but it’s sure to wow the crowd! Why not start practicing right away?

Plastic bottle cap throwing
A party trick where you throw a plastic bottle cap.
You might wonder, what’s so special about that? Don’t underestimate it—it looks really cool! Just like baseball pitching, there are several types like sliders, sinkers, and curves, and each flies differently.
Even if it’s not particularly useful in daily life once you master it, you can still brag about it as a cool special skill!
ventriloquism
Ventriloquism is actually easy to start! The trick is to talk without moving your mouth much, but at first it’s best to use a stuffed toy.
It’s also fun to imitate the voice of your pet or a favorite character.
If you mix in a few simple jokes, you might get some unexpected laughs.
Just delaying your voice a little can make you look like a real ventriloquist.
If you show it off at a year-end or New Year’s party, it’s sure to be a hit.
