WHO KNEW JAPANESE KARAOKE COULD BE SO MAGICAL?

FRIDAY 30 APRIL

They other night My host family dad decided it was time to go let out some stress. He asked me if I wanted to go with him to Karaoke. I jumped at the chance, I mean how often does one get to enjoy that type of bliss with the bishop? So we went and as luck would have it there is a karaoke place 2 blocks from our house. We get there and they have a nomihodai (all you can drink policy.) If that isn’t cool enough the drink selection was fabulous. I had a chocolate banana shake, over and over for an hour and they just kept coming. Then we get into the Karaoke room. This room was really small but big enough to have a great sound system and all the digital equipment needed to get singing. The mics were wireless and they had a ton of selections. Japanese and American famous songs. My host family dad is also the bishop of Kyoto ward and we sang great classics like Hotel California, Livin on a prayer, More than a feelin’, Hysteria by muse and Suck my kiss by Red Hot Chili Peppers. The machine had a great blend of delay, reverb and perhaps voice modulation so it sounded really good. The hour we signed up for flew by, I can’t wait to go again.
