FanFor residents in Tokyo: What's the best karaoke bar to visit?
-
Chival N. Are you going? Yay! -
Levi I wish. I've wanted to go for so many years now. I'm just asking for fun (and for the future). -
J. Asia Jackson They are all great, IMO. I'm not on mainland, just a smaller island in Japan, and EVERY karaoke bar I've visited, I had to be carried out. And tje next day I had no voice, no lie. Just don't forget to order your Orion and Saki.

Anyone on here been there/lives there? Which is the better place in your opinion: Tokyo or Okinawa? I want to visit both.

Akemi Mokoto It depends on what you mean better. Crime? Food? Culture? People? Weather? All and all, my bias side would say Tokyo(which is a prefecture, not a city), but factually it is still Tokyo. Okinawa has issues, and the US military bases are the big issue. -
J. Asia Jackson @Otaku2012 Just curious, what makes the military the issue? The noise from over-flying jets? It seems that us being here has created many jobs on and off base and lots of money to the area. In my years here I have seen many new businesses established due to more opportunity. Just curious to hear your thoughts. -
Akemi Mokoto Yes, it has created jobs, and more crime. THAT is the main cause of the unpopularity of US military bases in Okinawa. Crime done by the US servicemen. Of course, one can make the argument that it is "over hyped bullshit caused by the local media and nationalist/communist in Japan". I am an american, born and raised(sadly), by the way.
