Karaoke no Tetsujin Shinjuku O-Guard
The guide leads guests into SM Yamato for karaoke. One included drink per person. Unless on nomihodai Guide runs the karaoke machine (Joysound), picks the first song to break the ice, and gets the energy up. This is the high energy mid-point of the tour, loud, fun, and social. The guide encourages guests to pick songs, creating the atmosphere of a real Japanese gay karaoke night. The guide must also sing! (even if it’s bad) On the full tour this stop runs one hour — guests will naturally order more drinks. Guide keeps the energy high and the vibe loose.
