[Wotagei with 50 People!?!?] Got Hyped to 'Sousei no Aquarion' [Zero Strikes]

Wotagei is a performance known for being done by fans at idol concerts.

Recently, videos of wotagei set to popular songs have been released, and it’s even become a staple party trick.

So if your company is holding a party or a social gathering, why not put on a wotagei performance? Even first-timers can make it look impressive with a bit of practice—perfect for a quick show.

If older attendees who may not be familiar with wotagei will be there, try choosing a song that was a revival hit or otherwise well-known to their generation.

Tasting/Comparative testing of XX44rank/position

[Blind Ramen Taste Test] Kamaitachi take on a blind challenge to identify the soy sauce ramen among five cup noodle products!

We’re introducing taste-testing games where you compare multiple versions of the same dish and guess each brand or variety! For example, in a ramen tasting, there are many kinds of instant ramen.

You’d sample about five types and try to identify each one.

For a company year-end party or a thank-you party, a sake tasting could be fun too—it’s a great way to test your knowledge and palate.

Just be careful not to drink too much and trouble those around you!

Freestyle rap (improvised rap)45rank/position

Drunken Rap Battle

When it comes to freestyle rap, not only how many words you know but also your technique for rhyming well gets tested.

With a focus on the sound of words, why not try a rap-like exchange and enjoy a rhythmic back-and-forth? A full-on style that follows a track can be difficult, so I recommend a format where you respond to your partner’s words with something that sounds good.

Once you get used to catching the words, speed it up, increase the number of words per turn, and gradually work your way toward a more authentic freestyle.

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

10-second drawing47rank/position

Can you draw a picture in 10 seconds?? 10-Second Drawing Challenge!! himawari-CH

This is an icebreaker game themed around drawing that you can start right away with just paper and a pen.

The rules are simple: as the title suggests, you draw a picture in 10 seconds, and the others guess what it is.

If you’re good at drawing, 10 seconds is enough to make your idea clear; if not, the results can be hilariously messy and really liven things up.

For larger groups, you could use a variation where each person gets 3 seconds and three people take turns to complete a single drawing.

You could also award points to those who guess correctly or to those whose drawings are understood, and compete for the highest score!

[Mass Gathering of Impressionists] 100 Repertoires with the Voice Geniuses!? ~At-Home Song Medley~

Impressions and impersonations are a classic go-to for party entertainment.

Some people might shy away, thinking, “It’s such a clichéd act…,” but it always gets the crowd going! Mimicking celebrities or popular comedians works great, and doing anime character voices or singing in the style of artists really fires people up too.

Especially for anime voice impressions, there are tons of how-to videos on YouTube, so it might be a good idea to learn from those.

And if you absolutely can’t do vocal impressions, consider facial impressions or full-body impersonations instead!

Speech Relay49rank/position

[Boys' Schools Fair 2022] Yokohama Junior High School – 6-Minute Speech Relay

Speeches, which are always included in programs for events like weddings, can be considered a wonderful form of entertainment in their own right.

Of course, simply giving a speech is fine, but a relay-style format is also recommended.

In this version, each person speaks according to a predetermined time and then passes it on to the next speaker.

Adjust the tone to suit the atmosphere—serious or humorous.

Including a call-out to the next person you’re handing the baton to will make it even more engaging.
