Ranking of Popular Entertainment/Performances (81–90)
Hige Dance86rank/position
The Hige Dance, which was hugely popular in the Showa era.
The Drifters’ Ken Shimura and Cha Kato wore fake mustaches and silently performed various gags—an unforgettable sight.
Back then, many children were glued to the TV to watch the Hige Dance.
Many older adults have probably seen it at least once, too.
Because the Hige Dance is familiar to seniors, it’s also recommended for birthday recreation.
Have the staff put on a Hige Dance performance.
Try doing tricks to the distinctive Hige Dance melody.
If staff with fake mustaches perform silently, it’s likely to get seniors excited.
Even seniors who don’t know the Hige Dance will probably be captivated by the staff’s act.
tale of valorOriental Radio87rank/position
Oriental Radio, who also gained popularity with RADIO FISH’s “PERFECT HUMAN,” used to perform their legendary ‘Bragging Stories’ bit when they debuted! It seems like they’re hyping up Acchan’s exploits—but not really? Yet in the end they still chant, “Acchan is so cool,” and hype him up anyway! It’s great for a no-holds-barred skit between senior and junior, or between two coworkers! If you’re playing Acchan, just act cool no matter what happens.
Stop-motion movie88rank/position
Stop-motion movies are a technique where characters or objects are moved and photographed frame by frame, then played in sequence to make the footage look animated.
The fun part of this act is that it allows expressions that aren’t possible with regular video.
For example, passing through a door, or objects decreasing and increasing on their own… With the right ideas, you can create all sorts of puzzling visuals.
If you’re making a graduation movie, how about using the school as the stage and doing things everyone’s thought about at least once but never actually tried?
Dice stacking89rank/position
Have you ever heard of dice stacking? If someone at a party asks you to show a little trick, this one is guaranteed to be a hit.
All you need is a cup and some dice, and you can become the star right away.
As you deftly stack the dice, you’ll have everyone glued to the action.
Increase the number of dice or pick up the pace to level up, and you’re sure to spark a storm of applause.
Why not master this hidden party skill?
Buruzon Chiemi90rank/position
Blouson Chiemi, a comedian who became instantly popular with her signature line “3.5 billion,” has been active under her real name, Shiori Fujiwara, since April 2020.
How about trying an impression of that highly impactful character, Blouson Chiemi? Go for a career-woman look with a striped shirt, a tight skirt, and high heels.
Copy the makeup perfectly, too.
And above all, ask two men to join you as “with B” to complete the look!
