LOL

Shout and other korean style karaoke places have smaller selection of songs, but they give you free service time, like 1 hour extra without paying for it, and also the sound quality is really good, and rooms are so nice and clean... and the front people are really nice.

I didnt have such a bad experience at Twister because the owner came in to show us how to use the menu (and then stayed to watch me sing Koda's Exstacy lol), but we both agree that the menu is rather confusing.
I havent been to any places on Finch and Yonge but I will check them out now since I cant turn down the chance of getting an hour free.

When I was in China I went to a karaoke bar and sang Ayu in public! It was Endless sorrow. =) Fun times.

I go to two karaoke places here in the dallas area, both korean-owned... they have a good selection of jpop at both places, every month or two they update with more recent songs. No place probably has MOON yet, but You were... and BALLAD might be there. I've only sung songs as recent as Sparkle. Some classics like "Fly high" weren't available though, which is disappointing.

I did go to a Japanese-run place in Seattle that had a better selection of older songs, so Fly high and evolution were there, but nothing more recent than 2005 or so.

Yeah, I sang Ayu at karaoke a few months ago :3 The place I went to is Karaoke Duet 48 in NYC, and they have ALL of Ayu's songs, along with some remixes and concert versions, which I thought was really awesome xD I only got to sing evolution and Sparkle, though~ ;P

When I was in Japan we would go to karaoke every week because it was cheap an dthey had air con. (It was summer)

I always sung ayu at least once or twice. One time my friend and I had an all Ayu marathon since she had just gotten into her, haha. Fun times.

[asmAyumi1992]

Of course. I went to a karaoke place and have private room and sang Ayu.

I always go to karaoke place. But that's my first time singing Ayu. At that time, my sister, my brother and his wife were having so much fun. They want me to pick my own songs, so I decided to sing Ayu.

I'm so embarrassed to sing that song alone. Fortunately, my sister know a bit of Boys & Girls. So, we sang it together~♥

I wish the place I went to had Sunrise!
What I wanted most was HANABI and Sunrise, and they didn't have either!

I like to sing Ayu's karaoke A LOOOOOOT (and I recorded myself a couple of times) but never have the courage to publish it on Youtube ^///^.
I can't deny singing Ayu songs cheer me up, and I love it!
I also went to Japan and sang at a Karaoke place, and it was the greatest experience EVER!
Someday I'll be as brave as you, pieces_of_seven, and I'll publish my karaokes.

[Hydeki]

How I envy you! *_* I don't know a place here where I can sing ayu songs, and I really doubt that it even exists T_T .

[Kanzaki]

I don't think we have asian style karaoke places in Scandinavia. If there had been any, I would have went there every week! I love singing, and I love singing in Japanese!

[Kacku]

Well, I've never been to a karaoke bar, but this summer I was at an anime convention and they had one Ayu song in the karaoke corner, so of course I went and sung it!

The song happened to be appears, which was a bit bad for me. On the other hand, I absolutely love that song, but I'm a guy and I bet it was a bit painful to listen when I tried to hit some of those higher notes. And it was the full version too, so I stood there singing for over five minutes. Luckily we didn't have much audience there, I was nervous enough anyway (I had never sung Japanese songs with anyone else listening before that, and it was also quite a while since I had sung Finnish karaoke with my friends).

Anyway, the song went quite well, I guess, since I got about 8800/10000 points, and the person running the karaoke gave me quite the compliments for singing a song like that.

So yeah, that's my only experience with Ayu-karaoke so far, but, should I travel to Japan one day, I'll make sure to sing some more Ayu there.

i'm so sad that in my place there's no Japanese or even Chinese karaoke @@

it has only VERY VERY VERY old English & my mother tongue songs @@

but there's a karaoke website with about 30-40 Ayu songs in romaji .... hehe

Finally~~ I could sing Ayu song without knowing Japanese ... I can read romaji =)) they're almost like my language =))

[Yoake]

I never sing karaoke. I'm really shy.
The only place where I sing is my shower.

[noisy_harmony]

^ this exactly I don't have enough courage to sing in public. I think I bother so much what others might think lol. The other problem is that I don't think there are asian karaoke places in my country, maybe there are organized during anime convents or something. Who knows though, maybe if I have a chance I'll decide to and go against my fear?
