Ranking of Popular Skits/Acts for Entertainment (41–50)
self-introduction gagOrutana Channel46rank/position

This is a collection of one-shot gags themed around self-introductions, featured on the popular YouTuber duo Alterna Channel.
These self-introduction gags are perfect as an attention-grabber for party entertainment or skits.
The key to getting laughs is to ditch your shyness and perform boldly! The ones introduced in this video are particularly quirky and unique.
If you throw away your embarrassment and go all in, you’re sure to get a chuckle.
Hand dance47rank/position

It’s a dance where only the hands are shown, as if from a puppet-theater-style stage.
Create highlights by, for example, changing the color of the gloves partway through.
It’s only hand movements, but if they aren’t precisely synchronized, it will look sloppy, so practice hard! When everything is tightly in sync, the tempo feels good and it becomes a very satisfying dance to watch.
Keisuke Kuwata48rank/position

As a classic impersonation target, Keisuke Kuwata of Southern All Stars is someone you just can’t leave out, right? His distinctive singing voice is easy to mimic, so if a man is going to do an impression, why not consider him as a candidate? It might feel like a high hurdle for people who never do impressions at all, but surprisingly, singing impressions seem a bit easier.
If you sing one of his famous songs, it’ll be obvious whose impression it is, even if it doesn’t sound that similar (lol).
Try it with the mindset of going a little over the top!
Singing impressions49rank/position

If you’re good at singing, why not try a singing impersonation? Pick a popular song by an artist with a distinctive vocal style, and mimic not only their singing but also their costume, gestures, and expressions when you perform.
Singing impressions get even more exciting if you’re a strong singer, but you don’t need to obsess over perfect quality.
What matters more is capturing the artist’s essence through your look and singing style.
You can find lots of singing impression videos if you search, so use those as references while you practice!
Choral reading50rank/position

This piece is meant to convey the stories and feelings we’ve built up, in straightforward words, to the third-year students who are setting off.
Think of it as a chorus of words, and plan how to pass the lines from one person to the next, and at which moments to layer voices.
To make the message vivid and more moving, it’s recommended to layer voices on parts you want to emphasize, such as words of gratitude.
A smooth flow with an awareness of rhythm is key, so decide in advance on cues for when to hand off lines and when to overlap voices.
