SheldonB 0 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I saw in the 90s music thread someone mentioned that a song was 'their karaoke song'. So, what's yours? Mine is Thriller. I do a fine impression. Has karaoke popularity dropped in Japan of late? And do they have lots of English songs to choose from? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I have a lot seriously...we have a professional karaoke system at home - hundreds of songs and all... Haven't used it in about a year, but every now and then we go through a phase. That phase usually involves lots of warmed sake, sushi and gyoza galore and one hell'uva party. But PB and I sing a fairly cracking duet of 'The Rose'. edited: I wish this stupid computer would stop changing my words!! If I wanted to say involved I would, I wanted to say involves... gah!

Error404 0 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I only really do 'karaoke' in the shower. I don't want to inflict my singing on others. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Like MB I have many favourites that I try and get through everytime I go to Karaoke. Two that I always sing if available would be 'I want to break free' by Queen and 'Summer of '69' by Bryan Adams. My favourite karaoke place in Kutchan closed last year though which I was most upset about. It was cool little bar owned by the local Yakuza. I prefer a bar over a 'box' as I enjoy an audience Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Haven't been to karaoke for literally years. Round these parts I remember there not being a huge choice. It was Love Me Tender or... can't remember! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 that was me! mmm...mmm...mmm by the Crash Test Dummies is one if my stock karaoke songs. I absolutely suck at singing and actually haven't been to karaoke in ages, but when I'm there I get into the spirit and kill everyone else's hearing ability with my droning Link to post Share on other sites

griller 9 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yes private rooms aren't good, I like there to be other people. Especially at work enkais as other people are often more interesting! Link to post Share on other sites
