This was the most fun at karaoke I have ever had. A local lady invited us all to her apartment to sing karaoke. Her setup was <em>amazing</em>, with a huge karaoke system that connected to a remote database with access to a zillion songs, and she also served us all kinds of delicious food. I really let loose for this one, surprising Yoko. I even headbanged during "Bohemian Rhapsody", which, with my long hair, was pretty cool/hilarious. http://cosleia.smugmug.com/Travel/Japan-Summer-2001/Yatsushiro-4-Karaoke-623/P6230001/31915226_V64Zf-Ti.jpg http://cosleia.smugmug.com/gallery/726850_fjc4u/ 2005-08-12T05:08:35Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
