Bounenaki 忘年会 and Karaoke　カラオケ

Bounenaki (忘年会, literally "forget the year gathering") is a Japanese party that takes place at the end of the year, December, and is generally held among groups of co-workers or friends.　The purpose of the party, as its name implies, is to forget the woes and troubles of the past year, and hopefully look to the new year. In this year, we held in a most excellent seafood restaurant in our city, Yamaguchi city. We invited also children or wife of forgign students.

Karaoke (カラオケ, bimoraic clipped compound of Japanese kara 空 "empty" and ōkesutora オーケストラ "orchestra")　is a form of interactive entertainment in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music video using a microphone and public address system. The music is typically a well-known pop song minus the lead vocal. Lyrics are usually displayed on a video screen, along with a moving symbol, changing color, or music video images, to guide the singer.In this year, we enjoed Karaoke after the Bounenkai party. We sing together Japanese or English pop sogs, and danced sometimes.
