Mina-san, Have you ever heard of hitokara?

今日始めてヒトカラという言葉を聴きましたが一人でカラオケに行くのは寂しいと思います。　

こんにちは。

皆さんの、国にはカラオケBOX　がありますか？
Mina-san no kuni ni wa karaokebokkusu ga arimasu ka?
Do you have “KARAOKE BOKKUSU” in your country?

yes Naomi sensei….
but they are very expensive compared to Japan……
In Las Vegas there are a few…..
Of course Hawaii has a lot. You might think it’s because there are a lot of Japanese tourists, BUT most of those places don’t have Japanese songs.

Nice “wind” sound effect - sabishii.
Probably that’s also what you hear when you’re alone sitting in your little ヒトカラ box howling love songs while thinking of your ex-girlfriend who left you because you’d always sing off key.

I like these kind of funny stories with pop culture mixed in.

BTW - What’s up with the LONG TITLES these days?????

I was feeling a little depressed and went to karaoke by myself and it was AWESOME!!!

I can totally relate to the character who says he has more fun because he doesn’t have to listen to other people.

Thanks for this story!

ジャビンさん、

ジャビンさんは、きっと、歌がうまいのですね！
You must be a good singer, ジャビン-san.

bob san> it’s basically the same meaning, but 食べなくてもいい focuses more on the person and 食べずにすむ/食べないですむ focuses more on the action (the fact there is no need to eat) itself.
