Wednesday was, coincidentally, both our last day of exams and my friend’s birthday. To celebrate both we went out for Indian food and then to karaoke. It was a real blast. We sang all sorts of songs, drank some *very* watered-down sake and caught the last train home. The Indian restaurant that we went to was one I’d been to a couple of times before, and every time I go I think that I won’t have enough food, only to barely finish what I’ve ordered. We all got free lassi with our meals, which I think must have been compliments of the owner, because he was very nice to us and I saw no mention of any such special on the menu. They were pretty tasty, but I think that drinking both mine and my friend’s was a bad idea. At karaoke we got something called ‘nomi hodai’ or ‘all you can drink’, which does not only refer to alcohol, you can order anything off of a limited menu, which includes tea and soda and the like. I tried their sake, but it was not particularly good and came in a ridiculously small glass. Clearly the way that they make money on this is that the drinks are small, and people get distracted by their karaoke or just don’t feel like calling down every four minutes. It was nice to have hot tea available, though. The room itself was pretty amazing. The walls lit-up with a big outer space-themed ‘painting’, there was a little stage-like thing in the corner with its own karaoke readout, and flashing lights overall. Also, I thought that I wouldn’t be able to read the karaoke book in the dark room, but there was a black light or something that made the pages glow enough to read them. It was pretty cool.
-‘all you can drink’ karaoke is really not worth the money.
-Just because you’ve heard a song once does not mean that you can sing it.
-From the song ‘Me and My Girl’ I only know the words ‘Me and my girl’ and ‘happy’.
-The karaoke machine at karaoke kan has a small-scale production from 2000, but nothing recent.
-‘Where in the World?’ from Phantom is a LOT faster than I thought it was. I wound up basically just mumbling melodically.
