Nagayan at karaoke!!
Today's Visual Boy entry!
Let's go to karaoke! (#^.^#)
So here I am at a karaoke box. Of course I only have time to go during free time1
I write down my name, and am asked to write my age as well for some strange reason. I write my phone number, and order an orange juice to start off. Then I pick up the plate with my room number written on it (the thing I have to take back to the counter when I leave)...
Now I'm off to my little room! \^o^/
I'm gonna just take my time; I've got tons of it, after all!
First up is Murashita Kouzou's "Hatsu Koi" -- an unexpected nostalgic first song! And of course, the guy comes in with my drink at the climax of the song. No matter how into the song I am, the moment that door opens I get so embarrassed I completely stop singing...though sometimes I'll just drop my voice, or hum along...
While I drink my orange juice, I go into Sasuke's "Aoi BENCH" and get a little lost in the falsetto part and then get lost in the sound of the harmonica and the blending of the bittersweetness and the sad melody.
Mr. Children's "Hanabi." This is my third song, and my main one for the evening. In some ways, as long as I get to sing this, I really don't care what else I do. It's like, if I don't hurry up and sing this, someone else will...
I've been thinking this lately, but even though I used to think 'You never know when you're supposed to take a breath' or 'I really can't get into the melody or lyrics',2 so I guess I've become quite an old man uh... Back in high school, if I heard something for just one day I could totally memorize it...
I order a cola. I'm really taking in a lot of sugar.
Then it's Kawaguchi Kyougo's "Suiyoubi no Asa" and Kobukuro's "Sakura" and Elephant Kashimashi's "Koyoi no Tsuki no You ni" and AAA's "Kuchibiru kara Romantica" and Fujii Fumiya's "Another Orion" and Yamasaki Masayoshi's "One More Time, One More Chance" and Remioromen's "Minami Kaze" and Sukima Switch's "Akashia no Shi" and Moriyama Naotarou's "Sakura"
Then I try out some new songs! Rock'A'Trench's "My Sunshine" -- it's the theme song for a drama, and is really catchy, I love it! "Aitakuuuuute~ aitakuuuuute♪♪♪" Unfortunately all I really sing is that climax part. So it's back to the older songs! From Flying Kids' "Kaze no Fukinukeru Basho" to Makihara Noriyuki's "SPY" to CHEMISTRY's "You Go Your Way" to Gospellers' "Eien ni" -- "The key's too high!" I complain -- to Porno Graffiti's "Saudade" -- "The key's too high!" I complain again.
Now I'm running out of songs I want to sing, so it's a Mr. Children marathon! "Any," "Tsyogari," "Hibiki," "Replay," "Dakishimetai," "Kimi to ita natsu," "Houkiboshi"
And then...in the end, it's back to Sasuke's "Aoi BENCH" again to finish up.
Man I'm tired...soooo tired (^Q^) I completely lost out on the golden time of sleep. I walk up the hill in the morning light. The oppressive atmosphere hasn't wrapped itself around everything yet, and the morning air feels great. The sun's getting ready to shine on everything. And then I go to sleep closing my eyes to that lovely light.
Even though it's morning...
"Good night!"
1) "free time" is a special-priced time of karaoke that runs from late late night to super early in the morning (so, 12ish to 5ish) with special, really cheap rates.
2) OH MY GOD, YOU ARE THE LAST PERSON TO BE KNOCKING SOMEONE'S LYRICS NAGAYAMA TAKASHI.
SOMEONE GET ME THESE SONGS 8OOOOO (I've got the Remioromen one, of course XD)
