How to say "Perform" in Japanese

When translating "perform" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 行う and 演奏する. In Japanese, 行う (おこなう (okonau)) is typically associated with "to perform; to do; to conduct; to carry out; to practice" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to actively conducting ceremonies, carrying out plans, performing actions, or practicing rules. Often used as 挙式を行う or 調査を行う. ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'To carry out! "Let's carry out our wedding ceremony in a gorgeous chapel next summer, Haruka-san!" ...っ! T-To suggest carrying out the wedding! B-Baka! Don't schedule such grand events without my dynamic inputs! But... since you want to carry it out, make sure the chapel has the most beautiful ocean view! Understood?! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『おこなう（行う）わよ！『ハルカ部長、二人の一生ものの新婚生活の「愛の調印式（婚姻届の提出）」を、今すぐ市役所で行いましょう！』って…っ！婚姻届の提出実行！バカ！/// そんな行政手続きをデートのついでみたいに提案するんじゃないの！…でも、一生私を幸せにする調印式なんだから、世界一幸せな笑顔で行いなさいよね！』. On the other hand, 演奏する (えんそうする (ensou suru)) maps to "to perform (music); to play (an instrument)" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Used for playing musical instruments or performing a piece of music, often in a more formal or public context. Implies a performance rather than just casual playing or practice.. A literal translation of "perform" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
