The journey to Kokura has been plentiful in these past few days and today I went with Emiko Yamamoto and her friends (about 10 all from Seinan Jo Gakuin) to try our skills at Karaoke. Although the karoake place didnt open until around 12, but the urge for the purikura arcade that was across the road was too much, so we went to get some pictures. I enjoy purikura, but I am not too keen on having my picture taken, so its a combination of fun and a slight nervousness, although I am sure that I will be nervousness free after many purikura`s.
After the picture house we went to McDonalds (I still have too many memories of my last job there) and then onto Karoake. I sang about 5 songs which included, good charlotte, green day, elvis, cyndi lauper and a duet with Emiko on Celine Dion. Karaoke is very different from the one in England, because in England its more a case of getting drunk and then singing at local pub whether Karaoke night is on or not, but in Japan you hire out a small room (the one we went to today had a horror theme) and then pick songs from a book and sing away, also you have a phone to contact the person at the desk to bring you food and drink, like Karaoke room service.
After Karaoke we did abit of shoe shopping and then off back to Emiko`s house for tea, which was very oshii (delicious).
Tommorow I go back to work at the Yochien and from that is left to see.
Oh and also in August I maybe going to Tokyo for a camping trip, but then again I am not sure if I am or not (its like that sometimes)
