[Wedding] Ranking of Popular Entertainment Acts (41–50)
Funassyi43rank/position

Funassyi, the mascot character of Funabashi City in Chiba Prefecture, is famous for the catchphrase “Pear juice, splaaash!” Did you know this beloved local yuru-chara even has an official song? The lyrics and music are by Funassyi, and surprisingly, it’s produced by Toshihiko Takamizawa of THE ALFEE—a most unexpected collaboration! With ultra-positive lyrics quintessentially Funassyi, an intensely pop metal sound, and a high-impact dance performed while bouncing around, it really packs a punch.
If the bride and groom are die-hard Funassyi fans, they’ll surely be laughing out loud with joy at the wild dancing.
mochi pounding44rank/position

Speaking of mochi, it’s perfect for celebrations—so how about a mochi-pounding ceremony as a reception activity, with the two stars of the day joining in? High-speed mochi pounding like Nakatanidou in Nara can be a bit dangerous, so keep the pace safe and let lots of guests participate as you go.
Having an interactive attraction among activities that tend to be “just for watching” instantly softens the atmosphere of the reception.
Note that some venues may not allow it, so be sure to check in advance and coordinate the details.
Playing Akinator45rank/position

Do you know the genie in the lamp called “Akinator”? He asks only yes/no questions repeatedly, and as we keep answering them, he remarkably guesses the person we’re thinking of.
Let’s actually try it with a few rules.
1.
Play with three or more people, dividing into one questioner and the others as Akinator roles.
2.
The Akinator players take turns asking yes/no questions, and if they cannot arrive at the correct answer within the set number of questions, the questioner wins.
dubbing video46rank/position

Dubbing videos that you can play and show at parties or gatherings are perfect for the occasion.
You can create them from any work—well-known Japanese folktales, Western films, anything you like.
Go for a humorous, playful dub, or narrate in a local dialect and give it as a gift to a friend moving to Tokyo.
Editing might seem difficult, but there are video editing apps that let you do everything right on your smartphone.
Take advantage of these convenient services and give it a try.
dubbing video47rank/position

A dubbing video where you use footage from anime or films and record your own preferred audio.
Because it requires both audio recording and video editing, it’s a relatively time-consuming entertainment idea, but on the day you can simply play it, so it’s recommended for those who want to finish all the preparations in advance.
You can freely adapt it—replace lines from famous scenes everyone knows with congratulatory messages for the wedding, or turn casual conversation scenes into stories about the bride and groom.
Try making it while adding some humor, too.
Canon Rock48rank/position

When it comes to classic wedding songs, Canon is a must.
It’s great if the groom plays it impressively as a performance, and it’s also great if a guest plays it! The difficulty level is high, so solid practice is necessary.
Since it’s an ultra-classic piece, the biggest recommendation is that anyone can enjoy it.
karaoke49rank/position

When it comes to classic entertainment for large gatherings, karaoke is probably the go-to.
People of all ages can enjoy it, and it has the added appeal of creating a sense of unity in the room.
Of course, some may want to practice if they’re going to perform, but if it’s a song you usually sing, you can probably get by without much rehearsal.
Start by choosing songs that match the atmosphere of the occasion—like weddings, year-end parties, or welcome parties.
Alternatively, picking songs that suit the age group of the attendees is sure to get everyone excited.
