[Wedding] Ranking of Popular Performance Acts (71–80)
Wind ensemble performance71rank/position
Having an elementary school fife-and-drum band perform at a wedding reception is splendid and luxurious.
Plus, it gives the band a great opportunity to present their work, doesn’t it? It might end up being limited to the weddings of their instructors or people involved, but with live music, I think it would become a reception that truly stays in the guests’ hearts.
Fake Subtitles Billy’s Boot Camp72rank/position
By adding fake subtitles to the video of Billy’s Boot Camp, which became famous as an exercise for dieting, it teaches—at full throttle—things that are supposedly necessary for married life.
The content is silly and genuinely makes you laugh just by watching, and you’ll be warmed by the efforts of the companions exercising in front of the screen alongside you.
A relay of our favorite songs for everyone73rank/position
How about creating a video where everyone sings a song in a relay and giving it as a musical gift? You could sing a song that holds special memories for the bride and groom, or everyone could sing and connect a love song that perfectly matches their image.
It’s wonderful to send a message not with words, but through a song, isn’t it? The bride and groom are sure to be moved!
Ayaka Hirahara Wedding Surprise74rank/position
This is a video where Ayaka Hirahara makes a surprise appearance at a wedding reception.
You can tell how astonished the guests are to see such a big-name artist invited to the event.
She performs the wedding song “Watashi Kekkon Shimasu” with her clear, pure voice, and you can see everyone becoming utterly entranced by her singing and the atmosphere.
A flash mob that involves the entire venue75rank/position
A man dressed as Anpanman appears and begins a speech, when suddenly a song by Ketsumeishi, a favorite of the bride and groom, starts playing.
The invited guests begin to dance, and everyone in the venue takes out glow sticks.
Both the bride and groom are moved to tears.
cheering squad76rank/position
If you want to wholeheartedly cheer on the bride and groom as they embark on a new chapter, form a pep squad and cheer in style! If you have school fight songs from your student days, it’s also a great idea to adapt the lyrics and use those.
Even just the fight song and call-and-response cheers will liven things up, but adding brass or wind instruments and a cheerleading dance will make it even more spectacular.
As for outfits, of course, everyone—men and women alike—should wear school uniforms (gakuran)! Give them a powerful cheer that wipes away any worries about the couple’s future!
Ugly Face Championship77rank/position
The “Bad Face Championship” is a simple yet exciting game where participants compete to make the most villainous face.
The comedy duo Chocolate Planet did it on YouTube, and it became a hot topic.
Take photos of each participant’s bad face and decide who pulled off the baddest one.
Best of all, it requires no decorations or prep, making it perfect when you’re suddenly asked to provide entertainment.
With no preparation needed and easy participation for everyone, the Bad Face Championship is guaranteed to be a hit!
