What are the usual party tricks, again? Saucer spinning, painted belly dance, two person one robe?

I heard that they would mostly try to have it done with one-liners or striking pose to make people laugh.
Glad I'm not working in Japan every time I hear about such stuff.

Ahh... party organizer, the senior said they will help, but nope.

Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan.

Kuroshio is evil, yes.

Looking forward to an extra-pyrotechnic rendition of the Gävle goat.

Finland, Sweden and Norway all have their claim on Santa-san (maybe even Denmark trough Greenland) but I do believe Finns have managed to make their claim the strongest.

Just serve surstromming as a party trick. That'll teach them

This is 1000% the standard procedure for Japanese companies, the newbies either have to organise, or perform in, the year end/starting parties; it's also the same for the smaller get-togethers during the year.

So what happens if say, the company doesn't have a new batch of newbies in the next year?
Does that mean the same guys from last year will have to do it again?

Those kind of companies will always have newbies, since they tend to be the big ones that get new grads, and even then, anyone transferring in from another part of the company is also considered a newbie.

The 'forced entertainment' is really only a thing for the larger parties, and you need a certain amount of people to really have one of those.
