I love to go to karaoke in Japan. It is
especially fun because it is more popular in Japan than it is in the United
States. You can go with many friends and have your own party in the karaoke
room. In the United States, none of the places for karaoke have private rooms.
There is one stage at the front of the room and only a few people can go up to
the stage at a time. In the United States, everyone hears you sing. Shy people
would not enjoy going to karaoke places in the United States.
Yaya-sensei and I went to sing karaoke last
night. It was so much fun! We are not very good at singing Japanese songs
because the words on the screen appear too fast for us. Luckily, most karaoke
places in Japan have long lists of English songs. Since American musicians like
Maroon 5 and Taylor Swift are popular in Japan, I was not surprised to find
their songs. However, I was surprised to find so many other artists that I
like. Some of the music I like is old and from the 1990s, but I still found
many of those songs. I wish the United States had more karaoke places like
Japan does!
