Ranking of Popular Skits/Acts for Entertainment (41–50)
Sesse-seiyaSeiya (of Shimofuri Myojo)41rank/position
A great one-shot gag to liven up a group date is Seiya from the comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo’s “Se-se-Seiya.” His unique chant and movements are perfect for warming up the room.
By repeating a phrase that doesn’t really mean anything, you build up energy in the group, then release it with an unexpected move to get laughs—so the thinking goes.
And it really works; it’s hard not to laugh when you see this gag.
Even in a first-time meetup, this can help you slip right into the circle of friends.
If you perform it cheerfully and energetically, your group date is sure to heat up.
Slideshow42rank/position
When it comes to crowd-pleasing entertainment at a class reunion, you can’t go wrong with a slideshow.
Projecting nostalgic photos from your school days with background music is sure to fill everyone with warm memories.
You’ll find yourselves reflecting on how young you all were back then, recalling long-forgotten moments, and sparking lively conversations.
As you flip through the photos, you might even hear, “Do you remember that time?” and watch the stories blossom.
Since you can easily make one on your smartphone, why not include a slideshow as part of your reunion entertainment?
Tetsuya Takeda43rank/position
When it comes to impressions every aspiring impersonator must try, it’s got to be Tetsuya Takeda.
No matter what anyone says, the classic Mr.
Kinpachi from “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B” is so iconic that even people who haven’t seen the drama know him.
If you sing the famous song “Okuru Kotoba” and throw in classic lines like “You idiot!” or “A rotten apple…” you’re guaranteed big laughs.
The trick is to craft expressive, emotional facial expressions.
Don’t forget the gesture of brushing your hair behind your ear! And be sure to check out impressions by Korokke and Ringo-chan!
Shinobu Kocho44rank/position
The anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has become an unprecedented hit.
Whether you’re an anime fan or not, you’ve probably seen it at least once.
If you want to do a voice impression from the series—and preferably a female character—Shinobu Kocho is a great choice.
Shinobu is known for her slender appearance and gentle tone, yet it’s striking how she sometimes delivers rather scary lines.
That contrast makes it fun to perform for others.
Try listening to Saori Hayami’s voice repeatedly and master it.
two-person robe (Nininbaori): a comedic act where two people share one kimono-like garment, with the rear person acting as the arms for the front person45rank/position
Ninin-baori is a classic party trick.
Two people wear an oversized haori together, and the person in the back feeds the person in front—that’s the standard routine.
It’s simple, but it really gets people going.
Since the person in the back can’t see, they’ll think they’re bringing the food to the mouth but end up pressing it against the cheek or nose instead.
If putting food in the mouth seems risky, it’s also a good idea to switch to a different action, like writing letters!
