Ranking of Popular Skits/Performances for Entertainment (91–100)
tile breaking91rank/position
For those confident in their physical strength, we recommend “tile breaking.” If you’ve been training lately or going to the gym, you’ll find it a worthy challenge! Unless you’re a professional karate practitioner, you could injure your hands or arms, so it’s best to treat this as entertainment and prepare tiles that are easy to break.
I’ve heard that modern tiles are more durable and harder to break.
To be safe, it’s also a good idea to score them lightly in advance.
Whatever you do, don’t let a broken bone put a damper on your important party!
Bingo game92rank/position
When it comes to classic party games, bingo is the go-to! You spin a lotto machine filled with numbered balls and announce the numbers as they come out.
If a called number appears on your bingo card, you mark it, and you can win once you complete a line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
You can sometimes find bingo sets and cards at 100-yen shops.
The main unit can also be replaced with a bingo app on your smartphone, so check that out if you can’t find a physical one.
Rubik’s Cube93rank/position
It’s a very simple 3D puzzle where you match the colors on all six faces, but it’s surprisingly difficult.
Since its release in 1997, it has become popular around the world as a toy enjoyed by both children and adults.
Why not use this 3D puzzle to show off a quick party trick? If you can smoothly solve a puzzle that stumps everyone else in an instant, you’re sure to earn a round of applause! There’s a specific method to solving it, so be sure to learn it and practice.
Instrument performance94rank/position
Playing instruments makes for a wonderful performance that brightens up any occasion.
If you sing and play an acoustic guitar, its warm tone will capture the audience’s hearts.
If you’re performing with multiple people, an acoustic session with a cajón or other percussion is also recommended.
Even if you can’t use instruments, that’s okay—keeping rhythm with body percussion or whistling can create a fun experience for everyone.
Choose songs with friendly melodies and simple chord progressions, and the listeners will be able to hum along, filling the venue with a sense of unity.
koi (nishikigoi)95rank/position
How about trying an impression of Nishikigoi, the duo that became hugely popular on TV as the champions of M-1 Grand Prix 2021? You could focus on impersonating just one member, or it could be fun to play both roles by yourself.
The charm of the duo lies in the gap between the super-energetic Masaki Hasegawa and the cool, sharp retorts of Takashi Watanabe, so make sure to exaggerate that contrast.
It also helps to include their signature lines to make it feel authentic, like Hasegawa’s elongated “Hellooo there!!” and Watanabe’s curt “You’re so loud!”
