Did Someone Say Karaoke?!
More than twenty-five students participated in a lively Karaoke Night hosted by Japanese House on Thursday, November 30. The students enthusiastically participated, performing their “jūhachiban” (best number) and other songs from a variety of genres, including Japanese pops, enka (Japanese blues), and, of course, anime theme songs—all in Japanese. This was just one of a full calendar of cultural events organized by International Fellow Junko Ishizu and hosted by the Japanese Language House throughout the academic year. These popular events consistently draw a full house of both Japanese House residents and other students.
