Video of a bunch of american otaku discovering japan. Kinda makes you feel dirty for being an anime fan.

Yea, saw these back in Februrary... My fiends and I made a definate effort to not look like that when we were there dispite constant urging from friends that weren't there.

Although the Hard Gay & Carboard Box Gundam gashapon almost did it...

Being an anime fan is one thing...being complete fucking pathetic and oblivious to reality is another.

Not that I'm saying those people are or anything. Or that the latter is a bad thing.

Poor, poor Rick. Some people just don't know that they can't sing.

That one guy in part 2, though...he bought a maid outfit for his 15 year old daughter? Now THAT'S creepy.

I wouldn't mind participating in that kind of a tour, but I sure as fuck wouldn't sing anime songs at a karaoke bar.

BTW, that 21 year old Amber chick is seriously hot.

No... I was forced to sing when I was in Japan... besides, it's only fun when there are some girls in the group too since they're the ones that can actually sing well. If it's a sausage fest, then usually the karaoke run is cancelled. There are some fun songs there though, even in Japan. Caesars ~ Jerk It Out, ton of Eminem songs that are easy to rap to even if you're tone death, Metallica, cheesy 80s songs, Madonna, etc.

Well, if girls are there I'm amenable to certain quid pro quo if really want me to sing.

I don't know what "sausage fest" is in reference to, and I'm not sure I want to know.
