Perhaps the greatest invention of all time and the best form of entertainment in Japan...Karaoke! Karaoke in Japan is all that you dreamed and more. With a number of friends you can pay for a private room for 1, 2, 3 or all night karaoke sessions. Usually this includes free drinks until the bar closes around 3 am. The drinks are usually syrupy concoctions but you can request straight liqueur and visit the equally free soda machine to create your own cocktails. Prices are incredibly reasonable. Some people will even pay for an all night karaoke booth over a hotel room in a big city if they are planning a late night anyway. Every karaoke bar has a book that includes English songs. There may not be the greatest selection but you can always find the classics as well as a surprising amount of new songs. The booths can fit up to 10 or 15 in most places. Language barriers can be a problem as it is much more difficult than you can imagine to sing in another language. But the experience can be a lot of fun with drunken Japanese singers excited to practice their English with the foreign visitor. Be warned however, the karaoke staff will not look fondly on this interruption and will scold you back to your room.
