interview

Our group interviewed NUFS foreign student. She is from America and 20 years old. She likes sing songs and she often go to Karaoke in Japan. However, she has never been to Karaoke in America because there are only Karaoke bar in America. She likes music of all genres, especially; she likes visual music such as T.M.Revolution and Acid Black Cherry in Japan. I think if Japanese Karaoke more increases in America, many American can more enjoy.
