Karaoke started at some unknown moment in Japan and started to reach American shores in the 1970s, although karaoke did not become very popular until the 90s. Karaoke is fun. I like Karaoke. I was on a bus last week going to a beach pretty close by and I saw some Japanese tourists. They were asking some people where this one landmark was and I told them "I'm going near there, I'll help you." I started talking to them all and then I had this wonderful picture in my mind.... Them, me.....karaoke.
They were struggling with English but we were having a nice conversation anyway and the whole time I was thinking, "how can I make this happen...?" I had a good idea, so I asked them what they did for fun in Japan. They said, "ohhh sopping, par, peach...", and I hinted "kara...", "ooh, karaoke!" Awesome! Then I was thinking of a way to get them all in a karaoke bar with me. I found out they were leaving tomorrow morning so this had to go down soon! We continued talking about karaoke and how much we enjoyed it. Then I asked if they wanted to do karaoke tonight!.... And they all giggled and said they couldn't. Next time...

You should begin Hawaii's Next Karaoke Idol. Because I think karaoke is a true talent of yours.
That's the best compliment I've got all year, and I'm not disappointed by that.
