Impersonations of popular singers that go over well as entertainment/performances (41–50)
Sayaka Kanda
When you think of Sayaka Kanda, it’s got to be Frozen, right? How about finding a partner who’s good at singing and hyping up the crowd with the duet “Love Is an Open Door” from the movie? As for the other person, they could perform with the vibe of impersonating Seiko Matsuda, Sayaka’s mother.
Even if the impression isn’t spot-on, the song itself is such a crowd-pleaser that it’ll probably work out fine.
Since it’s musical-style, the trick is to go a little over-the-top with your emotions!
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
If you want to try a cute impression, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is a great pick.
People with a youthful-sounding voice might be able to mimic Kyary, too! Quality matters, of course, but the best thing about doing a Kyary Pamyu Pamyu impression is that all her songs really hype up the crowd.
For Tsukema Tsukeru, wear slightly larger false eyelashes, and for Crazy Party Night ~Pumpkin no Gyakushū~ go with a big pumpkin costume—enjoy your performance with staging that matches each song! And if you have a dance hype squad to back you up, even better!
Aimyon
If you’re a girl who can play guitar, I’d love for you to try doing an Aimyon impression.
Just having an instrument instantly livens up any performance! A common trait among performers who impersonate Aimyon is singing while staring straight ahead at a single point.
Maybe that’s the expression you naturally get when you’re fully focused on singing? For reference, check out Michelle Kitakaze, who performed an Aimyon impression on “The Imitations Too Subtle to Convey Championship.”
Ikimonogakari
Ikimono-gakari has many gentle, heartwarming lyrics and phrases that appeal to a wide audience.
The vocalist, Kiyoe Yoshioka, has a bright tone within a standard range, which makes their songs easy for everyday people to sing at karaoke.
Tips for singing well include mastering clean breath timing and training your chest voice in the higher range.
For the high notes, aim for a clear falsetto.
Another hallmark is not using too much vibrato, so don’t push yourself—try singing with a straightforward, honest feeling.
Ringo Sheena
Is doing a Ringo Sheena impression one of the tougher ones? You need pretty solid vocal skills, plus that sultry vibe—not everyone can pull it off.
That said, comedian Tomochika’s Ringo Sheena impression is outstanding, and I highly recommend it to anyone thinking, “I want to try something a bit challenging.” The trick might be to sing a bit brusquely, almost as if you’re slightly angry.
The classic “Queen of Kabukicho” is the easiest one to imitate!
GReeeeN
GReeeeN’s famous songs that lift everyone’s spirits are often extremely high in key when you try singing them.
On top of that, most of them use a head voice that sounds like chest voice—a mixed voice.
But looking at it the other way around, if you get the hang of how to produce a mixed voice, you’ll be able to sing them, so if you’re interested, give it a try! Also, make sure to nail the pitch in the chorus, and for the rap parts, keep the rhythm with your body.
Sing while cherishing that passionate feeling of “I love this song.”
miwa
Miwa’s soft, translucent singing voice is something many women admire.
Because she uses proper diaphragmatic breathing, her voice resonates from the belly and sounds incredibly light.
Being able to switch freely from chest voice to mixed voice to falsetto is surely the result of vocal training, but at least we can probably imitate projecting from the diaphragm a little.
And above all, her charm lies in her blend of cuteness and coolness.
It would be amazing if I could express that in my own way!
