Impressions of singers that go over well for entertainment/performances (51–60)
Ado
Ado made a sensational debut with “Usseewa.” In 2022, she appeared as the singing voice for the key character Uta in the film ONE PIECE FILM RED, which drew a lot of attention.
Songs like “New Genesis” and “I’m Invincible” are well known not only among children but also among their parents, making her a perfect artist for impersonations at events.
Her powerful vocals and distinctive falsetto require considerable singing ability, but definitely give it a try!
ano
Ano is an artist who’s also popular on variety shows for her distinctive personality.
Her major-label debut single “AIDA” was chosen as the ending theme for the anime TIGER & BUNNY 2, and her 2022 single “Chu, Tayōsei” was also used as the ending theme for episode 7 of the anime Chainsaw Man.
Imitating not only her singing as an artist but also her signature gestures and way of speaking seen on TV is sure to liven things up.
Aimyon
Aimyon climbed to the top as an artist with highly relatable lyrics, a pop sound, and a down-to-earth, likable persona.
With many tie-in songs for TV dramas and anime—such as Haru no Hi, Naked Heart, and Flower of Love—she enjoys strong recognition across a wide range of age groups.
She’s a great choice as a subject for impressions or performances at various events.
Try taking on her approachable, unadorned vocal tone and her singing style that cherishes the lyrics.
Satoshi Fujihara (Official HIGE DANDism)
If you’re going to do an impression for entertainment, you’ll want to try an artist that many people know.
Satoshi Fujihara of Official HIGE DANDism, known for his sweet vocals and expansive high notes, is one such famous artist.
Starting with “Pretender,” there’s no end to their signature songs like “I LOVE…,” “Universe,” and “Mixed Nuts.” Overall, their songs are in a high key, so they’re perfect for those confident in their high register and anyone who prides themselves on impeccable rhythm!
Impressions of singers that get laughs at parties/performances (61–70)
Ado
Some of you may be looking to fire up the crowd with an intense song.
In that case, I’d like to suggest doing an impression of Ado.
A hallmark of Ado’s singing is how she switches between a growling ultra-low register and a soaring ultra-high register.
It takes quite a bit of technique, but why not start by practicing whichever range you’re better at? Even if you can mimic just one side, it will really capture the vibe.
Another option is to split the parts between two people and sing together.
BUMP OF CHICKEN
BUMP OF CHICKEN enjoys unwavering popularity across generations.
If you can imitate them, it’s sure to liven up the mood.
Speaking of vocalist Motoo Fujiwara, he’s known for a bright yet slightly shadowy, restrained voice with a natural vibrato.
To start, try keeping your mouth only slightly open and sing as if the sound is coming from your throat or the back of your nose.
And don’t forget those emotional shout-outs like “Yeah!” and “Oh!”
R-rated
How about doing an impression of R-Shitei, who handles the rap as a member of Creepy Nuts? Keep a strong focus on rapid-fire word flow and the distinctive intonation within the continuous stream of words.
Even with the dense phrasing, he still gives off a sense of ease, so maintaining clear articulation might be important too.
He also switches vocal tones within songs, which helps convey his unique world, so emphasizing those parts is recommended.
