Pornographic Karaoke
Though I normally don't drink on a weeknight, I had my last class for a few weeks yesterday, so I called up a friend and we headed out to Kanonji. Kanonji is a small city that I have not explored very much, but that will be rectified soon. After walking aimlessly for a while, we found a place off of a side alley of a side alley with the description "Naito Pubu" or "Night Pub". It became a tossup between that location and another, high class place we saw called "Baby Face Planets". We settled on the "Night Pub".
Upon first entering, we already could tell that this was not an ordinary place. You walk in and are faced with a mirror, which messes with your head for a second. As you head in, the bar is shaped like a semi-circle, with a single curving bar and bench. It took a bit to slide your legs between the overhanging bar and the bench, and even longer to get out. Having visited a lot of places since I got here, I could already tell this was a bitof an abnormal establishment. I was enjoying myself fairly well, grabbing the Karaoke mic and having a beer or two. Then things came to a crashing halt.
The Karaoke machine had porn on it. More than that, you had to sing to get the porn. The better the performance, the better the score, the more seconds of porn you won. What I figured out about the system was that out of 1000 possible points:
600-700 was 5 seconds
700-800 was 10 seconds
800-900 was 15 seconds
900-1000 was 30 seconds
The highest score of the night was by the owner, who managed a 975 and got us a full 30 seconds. I ranged 600-800 normally, which often wasn't enough to see anything good. The porn seemed to be randomly selected from a few scenes, so 15 seconds might just get you a girl licking a banana, while 5 seconds might be action. I started laughing at the banana clip, and the Japanese people were half humored, half amazed that I got it, which made my friend laugh even harder. Japanese people seem to think foriegners wouldn't understand anything of their culture, which nowadays is very often stolen from American culture. It is not uncommon for a Japanese person to ask an American if they have McDonalds or KFC in their country.
Anyways, a lot has happened to me this week, and maybe I will write about it later. I got an enkai(drinking party) tonight, and I am still shaking off the effects of last night. Bye!
