Karaoke Meme
Karaoke (カラオケ, clipped compound of Japanese kara 空 "empty" and ōkesutora オーケストラ "orchestra") is a type of interactive entertainment usually offered in clubs and bars, where people sing along to recorded music using a microphone.
The music is an instrumental version of a well-known popular song. Lyrics are typically displayed on a video screen, along with a moving symbol, changing colour, or music video images, to guide the singer - Wikipedia
How to Play
- Roll on in with your character, their information, and a link to either a song they'd belt to or one they canonically sing.
- Others join in...or throw tomatoes 'cause they got dragged here.

She flicks through the options until she finds something that is maybe not quite so... fast, and settles on what must be an oldie for Youko. Her voice is clear, but her singing strained as she tries to go along with the lyrics on the screen.

[She picks up the wretched tablet that controls the machine — what she wouldn't give for a simple book — and smiles at Rin, gently elbowing her.]
There's no rule that says you can't repeat it. Want to try again?
no subject
Alright!!
[ Then, she has a thought. ]
Is there any way to view the lyrics beforehand?
no subject
Rin's enthusiasm is infectious, so much so that Youko is even willing to fight with her phone to hunt down the lyrics to her song, showing her friend the results in stationary miniature when she succeeds.]
Yeah. Here, see?
no subject
Hmmm... I don't know if I can remember it all, but that should be better. Alright!! Let's try again!!
[ She bounces to grab the microphone ferociously, looks over to Youko, and nods. ]
Start it.
no subject
Youko watches the other girl bounce into place and give the go ahead, returning her nod firmly, typing in the song number and hitting the start button on the pad. She gives a little wave and a grin.]
You've got this, Rin.

I'm going to ban these karaoke dates for the next year.

[A classic that Ichiban is absolutely hamming it up on. Forget singing it with the same kind of soulful melancholy that Nanba would give it. This is a prime opportunity for him to be a huge goofball around his girlfriend.]
What have you got against the classics, huh?

[ AND STOP HAMMING IT UP AND EMBARRASSING HER??? YOU'RE TOO CUTE, STOP ]
Do "Baka Darou" once. Please. I'm begging you.

Just keep your eyes on me.'
I said 'You're holding back',
She said 'Shut up and dance with me.'
This woman is my destiny.
Oh, shut up and dance with me.
[Look, he didn't think anyone would be overhearing him while the radio's on.]
