[Wedding] Ranking of Popular Entertainment Acts (61–70)
Limbo dance64rank/position
Limbo dance originated on the island of Trinidad in the West Indies.
It’s a simple dance in which you pass under a horizontally held bar, yet it’s enjoyed all over the world.
As you go under the bar, you lean your upper body backward.
The lower the bar gets, the harder it is to keep your balance, and many people end up falling backward.
The great thing about this dance is that it’s a hit whether you succeed or fail.
For those who aren’t very flexible, it can be tough—you might bow out early and get the crowd going right from the start.
Telephone game65rank/position
A game of telephone that’s guaranteed to liven up the after-party! It’s a simple game where you pass along a phrase by whispering, but it’s packed with unexpected twists.
The chain of words veers off in surprising directions, leading to a moment at the end when everyone bursts into laughter.
This game tests memory and concentration, so it’s best introduced midway through the event.
It boosts a sense of unity among participants and creates a humorous, lively atmosphere.
Pick impactful words or laugh-inducing phrases, and you’ll set the stage for smiles all around.
It’s a fun activity that will elevate the mood even further.
AKB by the gymnastics club66rank/position
It’s an AKB performance by some friends with outstanding athletic ability, but even AKB48 themselves couldn’t pull off moves like these.
Because they have backgrounds in things like rhythmic gymnastics and cheerleading, they can do backflips and cartwheels, with razor-sharp movements and very clean dancing.
Tasting ○○ Tournament67rank/position
A blindfolded “taste test” contest is a game you can play with all kinds of creative ideas.
Think of themes that will get everyone excited, like “alcohol,” “potato chips,” or “spices.” It’s even better if the theme relates to the couple’s work or daily life.
For example, one fun idea is for one of them to guess which dish was homemade by the other.
You can also get everyone involved with challenges like guessing the brand of bottled tea, the flavor of Umaibo, or the maker of potato chips—all guaranteed crowd-pleasers! Whatever theme you choose, make sure to involve the bride and groom and create a lively, fun atmosphere for everyone.
Tasting Umaibo Blind (Flavor Identification)68rank/position
Let’s enjoy the welcome party with a “Umai-bō Taste Test Showdown” that gets both the audience and the participants excited! As the name suggests, you rely solely on your sense of taste to guess the flavor.
Everyone knows Umai-bō, and there are actually quite a lot of flavors sold, so it’s perfect for this game.
Participants will eat the Umai-bō while blindfolded, then remove the blindfold, check the lineup of options, and give their answer.
You can also provide a list of descriptions for each flavor.
It might feel easy to guess, but once your vision is taken away by the blindfold, it turns out to be surprisingly challenging.
A flash mob performed in earnest by the theater troupe members69rank/position
Its depth is on a completely different level from those that merely showcase impressive dancing! With a richly inflected voice backed by long hours of rehearsal and a tumultuous, dramatic script, it feels like watching a musical in a grand theater.
Where else could you find such a luxurious performance?
Freestyle rap (improvised rap)70rank/position
When it comes to freestyle rap, not only how many words you know but also your technique for rhyming well gets tested.
With a focus on the sound of words, why not try a rap-like exchange and enjoy a rhythmic back-and-forth? A full-on style that follows a track can be difficult, so I recommend a format where you respond to your partner’s words with something that sounds good.
Once you get used to catching the words, speed it up, increase the number of words per turn, and gradually work your way toward a more authentic freestyle.
