Aim to be popular! One-shot gags that hype up the school (21–30)
A flutist using things you have at home!
At school, we don’t often get the chance to play instruments other than the recorder or the melodica.
But did you know you can play something like a flute using items you have at home? Try performing with objects that can produce a lovely, flute-like sound.
For example, a bottle! Place your lower lip on the mouth of the bottle, and blow as if you’re directing your breath toward the far edge of the bottle’s opening, rather than into the inside of the bottle.
For low notes, blow with a “hoo, hoo,” and for high notes, push your tongue slightly forward and blow like “hyoo, hyoo.” Adjust the sound and try making music with bottles, as well as items like chikuwa (a tube-shaped fish cake) or cups! It’s also fun to play together in a small ensemble.
A tube-ken like a kendama!
When it comes to traditional Japanese toys, there’s kendama, but it requires equipment and you have to carry it around with you.
I’m not sure how it came to be, but there’s a game called “tsutsuken” that you can play like kendama using just a simple tube and a ball that’s a bit too big to fit entirely inside the tube.
For the tube, you could even use something like the container from tube-shaped potato chips.
It’s easy to get started, so practice regularly and be sure to show it off in front of everyone!

My First Diabolo
Why not try diabolo, a form of juggling? From a beginner’s perspective, it’s amazing how the string doesn’t get tangled, but the instructions explain the practice method clearly, so use them as a guide and give it a try.
We’ll start with the basic steps—how to spin the diabolo.
To perform diabolo tricks, you need to spin the spool steadily and keep it going.
This basic step is very important, so be sure to master it.
Once you do, it will become a hidden talent that’s useful in any situation.
Finger tutting
Finger tutting is a dance that began gaining attention in the United States around 2008 and has since become widely recognized in Japan, using the fingers, wrists, and arms to express a variety of movements.
The waves, geometric shapes, and other patterns are astonishing—hard to believe they’re created with just the hands.
Since it requires no props and doesn’t need a large space like typical dances, it’s perfect for indoor group hangouts.
Why not start practicing steadily now so you’re ready to show it off?
Flash Anzan
Flash Anzan is a mental arithmetic technique where you keep adding numbers that appear one after another in your head.
If you show it off at a group dating party, it could be a great way to highlight your intellectual ability.
Since you want to boost your attractiveness at such events, it’s best to pull it off smoothly without any mistakes.
There are lots of problems available on video sites and apps, so try ones that match your level.
With mental arithmetic, getting the hang of the technique matters, but practicing repeatedly also improves both accuracy and speed.
That’s why steady, daily practice is highly recommended.
Ensemble of plastic bottle shakers
Let’s try performing with handmade instruments made from plastic bottles! The sound changes depending on the thickness and shape of the bottle and what you put inside, so experiment with different ideas as you make them.
Once your instrument is ready, start tapping out rhythms along with a song right away! The pitch will likely vary depending on the instrument, so try arranging the order in which you play them.
I think choosing a simple melody works well, but if you boldly pick a popular song everyone loves, it might get the crowd even more excited.
Lifting Play Song
“Lifting Play Song” is a song you can play with while doing keep-ups as you sing.
It was born from an idea introduced in Hirotaka Nakagawa’s radio program ‘Visible Radio!’ in the popular segment ‘Everyone’s Hidden Talents.’ This song is a play song where you move your body to the music and lightly use your feet and body together like doing keep-ups.
But how about actually trying real keep-ups with this song? You can enjoy it with friends and family.
Be sure to use it to liven up events or school performances!
