Thursday night out

On Thursday I went out to dinner with Kanami. We went back to Shinjuku and wandered around until we found a good Japanese restaurant. It was an exciting combination of modern and traditional Japanese cultures. We sat at a normal height table in booths, but checked our shoes into cubbies at the door. We had salmon sushimi (raw salmon) with soy sauce and wasabi; salad with eggs, small fish eggs, and a delicious Japanese sweet mustard dressing; and yakitori (meat on a stick). Everything at dinner was delicious. We spent a couple of hours over dinner and a couple beers, talking and laughing, and comforting each other.

Next up on the night's schedule was karakoe! We decided to do just one hour, but this was a mistake. By the end of the hour we felt as though we had not had anytime in the room at all! In one hour, you don't get to sing many 3-5 minute songs.We decided we would have to go back soon. Being that the following Wednesday was a holiday, we decided to go the next Tuesday (tonight!) Songs we sang (and danced to) include: Imagine, by John Lennon; Toxic, by Brittany Spears; 3 Maroon 5 songs; and a Japanese song called "Cutie Honey".
