Hi!
So I'm the president of the Japanese Culture club (JCC) at my school and its almost the end of the school year (yay~) and I want to have a Japan coming to our High School party and I don't have that many ideas on how to make it FUN. Its our first year and, let me tell you, we had a rocky start so I want this party to be okay so the old member will come back blaugh Alas, I don't have all that many ideas as I mentioned above.
So far:
Eat green tea ice-cream
sushi
DDR
karaoke
ah..um...yea. Thats pretty much it.
I would greatly appreciate ideas and suggestions
Oh and the party is in a week and our budget is $140-160
Please and thank you!

You could learn how to make Tamatebako a couple weeks before, then use those to give each other gifts. Also, if you're gonna go the DDR route, get Stepmania and load it up with as many quality J-pop and anime theme files as you can find. You'll enjoy it if you can get a friend to get the pads and a computer to hold Stepmania.

Well, if you've got an asian market around most 'popular' Japanese dishes can be made fairly cheap. We made yakisoba for probably 10 people for a total of 7-10 bucks. Sometimes you may have to google a korean or chinese equivalent of some ingredients dependent on your market heh. Have someone lend a few hotplates and you're good. (Not sure how indepth the food detail is going though, depends heavily on the space used I suppose.)

Jan ken pon, while simple, actually can get pretty competitive and fun (set up a small tourney thing.) Among the various other jp games.

If the ddr/stepmania isn't in the same room some ambient music (jpop, whatever kind of fun really) helps on the 'fun mood' part. A dead room is always kind of blah.

Bring Pocky, have everyone dress up (yukatas, kimonos, ect.), and maybe tell some traditional Japanese fairy tales, like Kaguya-hime no Monogatari (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_Bamboo_Cutter). That'd be fun smile

Thats a great idea~! Thank you for suggesting it, especially since my club members are into fantasy and I need to bring in some more traditional and not as much modern culture heart

Oh wow, thank you for so many suggestions, I totally forgot about ramune and I'll have to get a hold of some red bean ice cream, we were thinking of green tea and mochi icecream but red bean sounds more better. Thank you for the music, although upon further thought, I think they might be to shy to dance but I'll think of something
Thanks again.
