Japanese Karaoke

I've posted about karaoke in the past, but I went to a new shop in Yamato a few week ago. This shop had a unique feature... I'll get to that.

Erin's friend was in town visiting so Krystal and  met them for dinner and drinks. We went to a restaurant that didn't have an English menu OR pictures so we just described a few things we like and then told the waitress- "your choice." It worked out pretty well and we like what we got.

We headed down the street just a bit to the karaoke bar. It was a small little bar and there were about 4 other Japanese people at another table in the bar, it was pretty quiet.

We proceeded to choose several songs and drinks and get started. Here is Krystal choosing songs on the hand help computer thingy.

A round of Lady Gaga... hats and tambourines optional.

Now here's the best part... based on how well you sing and how on key you are, the karaoke program gives you a score and then a present for your score...

An okay score....

A good score....

Unfortunately, we got in the teens and twenties on most of our turns! :)
