I wanna be a POP-STAR!!
Saturday night was our usual karaoke, with a twist. Jody's mom, Pamela, and sister, Paula, arrived in Japan on Friday and their jet-lagged asses were drug out the next night to partake in grapefruit-shochus and song.
In conjuction with this momentus occasion, it was also our first opportunity to karaoke with our J-crew (ha! J-crew!): Mie, Hidenori, Yuka & Hideki. Whoa! What a riot. The great part about karaokeing with Japanese folk is that they sing JAPANESE SONGS!!! - such as the title-worthy "Pop-Star." This lends excellent opportunity to practising one's Japanese skills; reading the subtitles. On the downside, J-karaoke means 
SMOKING. So much smoking, in fact, that my eyes were burning 24 hours later. Ugh.After a fairly early night, we headed home with promises of bender-karaoke in the future.
