A longwinded post about karaoke

Yesterday morning I remembered what the entry was about: The Rolling Stones. ^^;;


Last night we went to sing karaoke. I'm not sure why we decided to meet at 8, but it worked as far as times go.

We ended up singing from about 8:30pm to about 1:30am this morning. You could say that it was like a marathon.

I discovered the joys of "Yay, they give some of the furigana" and in the end, at least 2/3's of the songs I sang were in Japanese. (This was also greatly aided by the fact that Yohey told me that they list most of the anime songs in the back grouped by series.)

An interesting fact: for "character" songs, the karaoke book lists the character as the artist. (I found this out when I found 真っ白な誓い。 I was rather surprised and immediately started to look for other characters. When I looked up Koushiro, I was dissapointed to find that they only had his second season song, which I didn't care for, and not Version Up, which I love to pieces. This was the point where Yohey told me about the listing in the back. Mysteriously, Version Up was listed there. I have no clue why.)

Playlist (in order, I think)
Cartoon Heros. (Aqua version, was too high and I wasn't warmed up enough)
真っ白な誓い　(Went fairly well, but I was off in some parts)
secret base ~君がくれたもの～　　(went rather well, but there were some kanji without furigana and that screwed me up)
Version up (I have this song memorized. Was mostly in the right voice for it, so went well.)
さらりーまん　(Slower song, went well)
Fruits Candy (The animation was weird and the tempo was fast, but I kept up with most of it!)
Across the Universe (The bg music was so loud~!)
Against Wind (I felt like I was losing my voice and therefore Sucked for much of this song, which was a shame because I really like it. Didn't get into the right voice until the last four lines- the rest of the song, my voice was totally out.)
Warning (I did not know those were the lyrics. But what I thought was close!)
Ometto Samba (Trying to sing a song meant for a group that involves rather fast patter by yourself is not a good idea.)
The theme song from Detective Academy Q that has a title that has a pun surrounding the word "迷宮”　　(Very good considering the fact that it was the first time I heard the full version of the song.)
上を向いて歩こう　(No furigana, but I know this song

Songs that I should remember to try next time
Anything by Hysteric Blue (Bought one of their cds the other day, and am loving it.
Melissa (Or other stuff by Porno Grafitti)
Trial of Luck?
Catch You Catch Me
You Get to Burning
Look for Makenai Ai ga Kitto Aru which wasn't listed under "Rockman," though Janne De Arc's "Wild Fang" was.
Speaking of which, Janne De Arc stuff. I saw their new album listed. (There was also a Kimeru song!)
Ice Cream
Check the tune on Ever Blue. Maybe also Splash Dream or Ai no Ondo
Listen to Tommy Feburary songs again~! Also, Tommy Angel's "Every Day at the Bus Stop"
More Zone! (Can't have enough Zone. X3)
Automatic
Instant Music
Hot Limit or other TM Revolution stuff
Decide which version of Valentine Kiss I want to sing. Then sing it.
Te vas pas (Spelling?)
Girl from Impanema. (Will not chicken out this time)
Believe in Heaven
Mienai Chikara
Party Night (The version listed had "Hyper" in the title, which worries me.)
Remember to check for "My only true wish."
Figure out how to find Dragostea Din Tei because they probably have it in the system and it's just fun.
