Ranking of Popular Entertainment/Performance Acts (61–70)
No-Face66rank/position
One of the most universally recognized characters created by director Hayao Miyazaki is probably No-Face.
Despite requiring a very simple costume and makeup, the impact is tremendous.
I have a feeling people will be asking you to take commemorative photos together.
It takes a bit of courage, but an adventure like this once in a while might be nice, don’t you think?
Stand-up game67rank/position
The “Stand-Up Game” is perfect for party entertainment or as a party game.
Participants take turns calling out numbers, and if the number they declare matches the number of people who stand up, they clear that round! You can play in teams—whichever team gets all members cleared first wins—or play individually, with a penalty for the person who remains until the end.
Because the actions are so simple—“say a number” and “stand or sit”—it’s ideal for appreciation parties with a wide range of ages.
Games that anyone can understand easily are handy and versatile in many situations.
prop comedy68rank/position
It’s a classic variety-show concept: using whatever’s right in front of you and figuring out what kind of reaction to add to make it funny.
Don’t just rely on the prepared props—make clever use of whatever’s on hand to chase laughs.
Two staples are: delivering a big reaction while demonstrating the item’s proper use, and going all-in on a gag by using it the wrong way.
If the audience can predict what you’ll do, the laughs get weaker, so the key is to aim for surprise.
line dance69rank/position
When people think of line dance, they often assume it’s challenging unless you have experience in ballet or jazz dance.
However, if you use props like these, you won’t feel pushed to your physical limits, and it’s convenient because you can even practice remotely.
By using books and chairs—raising and lowering the book or changing its orientation—you can get the maximum effect, and coordinating outfits creates a sense of unity.
Choosing something simple like all black, which most people already own, can also lower the barrier to preparing.
Improvised four-character-idiom nicknames70rank/position
The nicknames in four-character idioms that Karen Takizawa, known for her natural airhead charm, gives to various celebrities.
It’s even better when they’re not existing idioms, but new creations.
Let’s give them to everyone at school, too.
It might be nice to give one to your teacher as well.
If you come up with something that fits perfectly, they might even use it as a middle name for life.
