Something tells me.....that I'm going to be doing this a lot in the future.

On the Saturday we got back from Kunigawa, Yoshiko and Laura (a former Hakuoh exchange student from IUPUI) invited us to Monekineko (the name of karaoke place) for Karaoke.

Basically at MonekiNeko, there's a student special for students going to Hakuoh. We still did not have our cards from the school yet, but someone was able to produce a card and we were able to get the Hakuoh special for 2 hours. This includes all you can drink from their drink menu. I previously only been to Karaoke twice , one time that was at a restaurant we went to primarily had Chinese and Korean songs, not much of a selection of American songs and the second one was open mike night at a cafe downtown, but the karaoke versions were vastly different than the actual song.

We got into the karaoke room and we were given mikes and these touch screens that allow you to select songs. There's also different versions of each machine that have slightly different selection of songs than the other machines. I was really surprised at the selection available to sing, it was amazing at the entire selection. They even had several obscure artists like Sonata Artica, a band that Keleih likes. The timing was really decent and for the most part with the exact song. I sung primarily from artists I know like Oasis and Bowling For Soup.

I have a feeling that I am going to get a lot more singing time in the future....
