[Wedding] Ranking of Popular Entertainment Acts (91–100)
Extra-large cake92rank/position
How about trying to make an extra-large cake like the ones used at weddings? Square ones are relatively easy to make and to cut, so they’re recommended.
You can find plenty of videos showing pastry chefs making them, so try learning from those.
If you top the cake with the recipient’s favorite fruits or favorite items, it will likely make them even happier.
Many people might be moved just by seeing a cake of a size they would never buy for themselves.
Laughing Style Championship93rank/position
This is a competition to see who has the funniest laugh.
Of course, a fake laugh is totally fine.
Whoever laughs in the funniest way wins.
You can bring something that will make people laugh, or create it on the spot with nothing at all.
It’s guaranteed to be a blast.
Simple magic94rank/position
Speaking of magic tricks, they’re a staple of entertainment, and people often associate them with lots of practice to avoid revealing the secret.
However, there are countless tricks, and some are simple enough to perform without any preparation or practice.
Precisely because magic is seen as something that requires training, even a simple trick can amaze those around you.
The tricks introduced here are recommended with playing cards.
Because a deck has a fixed number of cards, number-based tricks can create baffling effects just by memorizing the sequence.
Punishment Game Gacha95rank/position
With the spread of smartphone games, many people may have become familiar with gacha.
While gacha is generally done in pursuit of something beneficial to oneself, this game mixes in penalty challenges.
It’s a project that lets you enjoy not only excitement but also thrills.
Flash mob from the groom96rank/position
The entire venue erupts with excitement at the groom-led flash mob.
Everyone joins in and dances happily, filling the space with a bright, cheerful atmosphere.
The bride, who received the flash mob, is so overjoyed that she bursts into tears.
Even the bride joins in?! A surprise dance performance at the wedding97rank/position
Speaking of entertainment acts, they’re usually thought of as something guests perform to celebrate the couple, right? Contrary to that expectation, this performance has the bride joining in near the end.
The idea is to have the bride—who has been watching the act from the best vantage point—be led up onto the stage and deliver a coordinated performance with everyone, creating a humorous vibe.
Since sharp, snappy moves are the appeal of the “bubble dance,” it’s important to consider how much of that can be recreated while wearing a bridal gown.
Parent and child at the Honnō-ji Incident98rank/position
Here is a video of us doing the rhythmic skit “Honnō-ji Incident,” which became popular thanks to a Yoshimoto-affiliated dancer’s performance, as a party act together with a child.
It’s even more entertaining and heartwarming when done as a parent-child duo than with two adults.
If you’re a parent with a child who’s good at dancing, we definitely recommend giving it a try.
