What is the difference between 順番 じゅんばん and 番 ばん and 出番 でばん? 出番 is more important than 番. It is used when a situation needs someone to do something or when you show off (you show your ability to others and you are proud of it). 番 is the neutral word for turn. What about じゅんばん? Maybe it's the same as 番 but it is used differently. For example I think you can say 私の番だ or 私の出番だ but you can't say 私の順番だ. 順番 is used in the expression "順番に". For example: 順番に歌う to sing in turn. You can't use 出番/番 like that. What do you say? Is what I said so far correct?

私の番だ。私の出番だ。私の順番だ。 You can say these 3 expressions in a same meaning, because they are used in the sentences as nouns. However the nuances are a bit different. 出番 sounds like “a turn for performance” like singing, acting or “It’s my turn to go to stage”. And 順番 has some nuance of a situation, like “There are at least several people are waiting for something in line” and your turn has come now. On the other hand “順番に歌う”, the usage of this 順番に is an adverb that means “to sing according to the order”. Hope this helps you.
