Last Saturday we went to Andy's Izakaya for dinner with friends from Minnesota (living in Japan). After some delicious grub, we made out way to Big Echo to claim a room for an evening of Karaoke. My familiarity with Karaoke prior to coming to Japan included a country bar, a crowd with a critical eye and a STAGE. Since I was little my sister always teased that I was "tone deaf", so needless to say, I don't usually sing around anyone but Roo, let alone get up on a stage! Here, Karaoke is different, much less stressful. You get a private room, in fact you could go by yourself if you wanted. You control the volume, and you don't have to stand on a stage. Before Karaoke, I'm not sure I'd ever heard Ryan sing. I've learned he can sing "Ring of Fire" or CCR with the proper low tone.
I've also learned he has a penchant for ballads, more specifically, Faith Hill or Tim McGraw, or the two together. Here's the proof:
"Cry", his given choice for any evening of karaoke.

When Jen and I lived on Spring Street in Madison (next store to Ryan), we had a karaoke mode on our stereo. We loved to indulge during parties. Ryan (RP to us) and I had a particularly fun rendition of another duet, I've Had the Time of My Life, at a New Year's Bash. It might live on somewhere on video. Next time, you both should strike that one up!
Thanks Amy, we'll give it a try!
