Yakyūken
is a Japanese game based on rock–paper–scissors. Three players compete. The host cries out "Play ball". The contestants dance to music played on the shamisen and taiko. The host chants "Runner ni nattara essassa." ("Hope the batter gets to run"). The crowd cries out "Out! Safe! Yoyonoyoi", as the three contestants show a fist, and then "Jankenpon" as they reveal the gesture they chose. Once the winner is clear, the crowd cries out "Hebo noke Hebo noke. Okawari koi" ("Losers leave, and newcomers come"). If there is a tie that needs breaking, the players shout "Aiko de bon!" ("Tie, so again!"). By the late 1950s, it became common for the loser to have to remove an item of clothing. ''Yakyūken'' gets its name from a Shikoku chant which is still a local performance art today. It is quite common to see ''yakyūken'' on Japanese television variety shows especially at New Years. Origin The game of strip rock-paper-scissors is mentioned in 甲子夜話 Kasshiyawa, a Japan ...

Strip Game
Strip games or stripping games are games which have clothing removal as a gameplay element or mechanic. Classification There are two broad categories of these games: the first are sexualized, and getting other people to remove their clothes is one of the aims of the game. The second are not sexualized, and the taking off of clothes is done to distinguish between two teams, for instance half the men playing shirts versus skins soccer will remove their shirts in order to visually distinguish between the two teams. In the sexualized games, the eventual complete loss of clothing is considered part of a usual game in the style of a striptease. Games involving stripping have been invented independently of non-stripping game. Games not normally involving clothing loss can be adapted into strip games. Some rulesets can be adapted more easily than others; but generally strip games are flexible and intended to generate an atmosphere of fun in a group of consenting adults. Notable g ...

Rock–paper–scissors
Rock, Paper, Scissors (also known by several other names and word orders) is an intransitive hand game, usually played between two people, in which each player simultaneously forms one of three shapes with an outstretched hand. These shapes are "rock" (a closed fist: ✊), "paper" (a flat hand: ✋), and "scissors" (a fist with the index finger and middle finger extended, forming a V: ✌). The earliest form of "rock paper scissors"-style game originated in China and was subsequently imported into Japan, where it reached its modern standardized form, before being spread throughout the world in the early 20th century. A simultaneous, zero-sum game, it has three possible outcomes: a draw, a win, or a loss. A player who decides to play rock will beat another player who chooses scissors ("rock crushes scissors" or "breaks scissors" or sometimes "blunts scissors"), but will lose to one who has played paper ("paper covers rock"); a play of paper will lose to a play of scissors ("scis ...

Audience Measurement
Audience measurement calculates how many people are in an audience, usually in relation to radio listenership and television viewership, but also in relation to newspaper and magazine readership and, increasingly, web traffic. The term is sometimes used with regard to practices that help broadcasters and advertisers determine ''who'' is listening, rather than ''how many'' people are listening. In some parts of the world, the resulting numbers are referred to as audience share; in other places, the broader term market share is used. This broader meaning is also known as audience research. Measurements are broken down by media market, which corresponds to large and small metropolitan areas. Methods Diaries The diary was one of the first methods of recording information. However, this is prone to mistakes, forgetfulness and subjectivity. Data is collected down to the level of listener opinion of individual songs cross-referenced against age, race, and economic status in liste ...

Studio Audience
A studio audience is an audience present for the recording of all or part of a television program or radio program. The primary purpose of the studio audience is to provide applause and/or laughter to the program's soundtrack (as opposed to canned laughter). In the United States, tickets to be a part of a studio audience are usually given away. However, as an enticement to attend, one or more members of the audience may be selected to win a prize, which is usually provided by a manufacturer in exchange for an advertisement, usually at the end of the show. Some game shows, such as '' Let's Make a Deal'' and '' The Price is Right'', select contestants directly from the studio audience. For sitcom/sketch comedy shows like '' All in the Family'', ''Saturday Night Live'' and '' Happy Days'' (for indoor scenes), the use of a live studio audience essentially turns them into de facto stage productions while shooting individual scenes, with minor problems like the audience applauding o ...
