Karaoke is perhaps the most enjoyable form of entertainment known to man. That's what I think, anyway.
世界の中にカラオケは一番楽しいことだと思う。
Last night, there was a KCJS welcome party at Kyoto University, more often just called "Kyodai" (Kyoto Daigaku). That was pretty interesting; we got to hang out and meet Kyodai students, make new friends, etc. But after that, we went to do karaoke.
昨日の晩、京都大学(たいてい、「京大」と呼んで)で京都アメリカ大学コンソーシアムのパーティーがありました。そのパーティーでは京大の学生を会ったり、新しい友達を作ったりするから、楽しかった。でも、その後、カラオケをしに行った。
That was awesome. I've now done karaoke twice here in Japan, and every time I go, I end up having a great time. I mean, I like singing, and I like anime theme songs. And the karaoke places in Japan have pretty much any song you could think of, which means I can sing anything I want.
それはすごく楽しかった。カラオケを二回しって、しに行くたびに、楽しすぎた。僕は歌うのが好きだし、アニメの曲も好きだ。そして日本に、カラオケ屋は曲がたくさんあるから、何でも歌いたい曲が歌える。
Last night... I sang a few different songs. Nana Mizuki, as always... she is my favorite J-pop artist after all. If I remember correctly, I sang three of hers: Eternal Blaze, the opening to Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's, Don't be long, an insert song from the Nanoha 1st movie, and Young Alive!, from her most recent album.
昨日の晩、色々な曲を歌った。さすが、水樹奈々。一番好きな歌手だね。思い出は確かなら、三つ...ETERNAL BLAZE、魔法少女リリカルなのはA'sのOP。そして、Don't be long、なのは1st MOVIEの挿入歌。さいごに、Young Alive!、八つめのCDの曲だ。
Then there were the well-known songs. I make it a point to sing Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis and Hare Hare Yukai whenever I get the chance. Everyone knows those songs. Or at least, they should. The Kyodai students sang the Dragonball Z theme song, too, so I wasn't the only one going for anime songs.
そして、人気がある曲を歌った。チャンスがあるたびに、残酷な天子のテーゼとハレ晴レユカイを歌う。誰でもその曲を知ってる。まあ、知らなければならない。京大の学生はドラゴンボールZのOPを歌ったから、アニメの曲を歌いたい人は僕だけじゃない。
But I sang less well-known ones too. There was a song called True Blue, the ending theme to Sky Girls, and LEVEL5 ~judgelight~, the second opening to To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. And then there was an older one: the opening theme to the original Space Battleship Yamato anime.
でも、僕はあまり人気がない曲も歌った。True Blueと言う曲はスカイガールズのEDとLEVEL5~judgelight~、とある科学の超電磁砲のOPを歌った。そしてもっと古い曲、宇宙戦艦ヤマトのOPを歌った。
In between the songs I sang and the ones everyone else sang, we started at eight in the evening and didn't finish until one in the morning. Nothing like doing karaoke for five hours straight.
カラオケは、午後八時に始まった、朝の一時ぐらい終わった。五時間もカラオケをした。
In sum: whenever anyone wants to do karaoke, as long as it's okay, I will quite gladly come along.
だから、カラオケを行きたい時、よかったら、僕と一緒に行こう!
It Was Fun
