We've done karaoke a few times while in Japan. It's an awesome time - you rent a room by the hour with your friends and sing your little heart out. There's one song we ALWAYS sing. It's one that everyone knows, no matter if they're Japanese or American. You know it and you don't even know it yet. The song is called "LINDA LINDA" by a Japanese punk band called The Blue Hearts.
See, even if you don't know ANY Japanese, you can sing REEENDA REEEENDAAAAA and jump around like a crazy person.
Fortunately Joanna and I got into the Blue Hearts before we left for Japan. They were featured in a music game I liked and also a really great movie called "Linda Linda Linda." It's a funny coming-of-age movie where a bunch of high school girls start a band. And of course they sing Linda Linda in it, so you gotta watch it!
LIIIINDAAAAA LIIIINDDAAAAAA!!
Ok, now I can`t get that song out of my head. It`s rather addicting, isn`t it?
ReplyDelete@Nancy: Catchy as heck! And extra-easy for foreigners to sing, at least during the chorus :D
