Karaoke
Last night we went to karaoke with Tomoko's sister Yūko. We usually go to karaoke everytime she visits us during weekend. :)
I had fun singing songs by WADA Akiko ("ano kane o narasu no wa anata", "Rumba de Boom Boom"), Crazy Ken Band ("Tiger & Dragon"), Cornelius ("The Sun Is My Enemy") and Ann Lewis ("koi no Boogie Woogie Train", actually I prefer CHIWAKI Mayumi's version).
WADA Akiko is always fun to sing, because I guess most Japanese know her songs since most are pretty old, and they wouldn't expect a foreigner to know them.
The secret is that KONISHI Yasuharu has produced her latest album, "Akiko Wada, Co. Ltd.", which I've been listening to a lot since it came out. Also her lyrics aren't too difficult, and her rather deep voice makes it easy for a guy to imitate her.
However I was a bit disappointed that one of my favorite Modern Choki Chokies songs for karaoke, "Heavy Is Snake", has gone from the list.
Now I realize that I forgot to look up SUPER BELL"Z "Moter Man", which Kim told me she always sings. I'll have to try it out next time!

Yes it's a bit of an acquired taste. :)

Ce logiciel ne semble pas montrer les paroles, donc ce n'est que pour écouter les fichiers de musique.
Au Japon pour du karaoke sur ordinateur je crois que les gens utilisent un logiciel comme ça:

Cependant c'est plus facile d'aller au karaoke. :)

Hi Patrick! Just curious (this has nothing to do with this post) you have a list of links on your links page and one called "Kim" but it doesn't go to my site (35degrees) but to some other guy's blog (36degrees). Did you get the web link wrong or the name wrong??? Bizarro!

Oops, sorry about that! That was a typo. I just added the link to your site a few days ago and I hadn't even clicked it yet. I had never even seen that guy's site. The link is now pointing to the right place!
Thanks for letting me know, that way I won't be missing your updates. :)
