Things to do in Hawaii: KARAOKE!!!

Karaoke is part of the culture in Hawaii.  I've gone to birthday parties at karaoke places, Christmas parties where the host has a karaoke machine! There's just something about it that makes you happy inside.  When I was 12, I had this interview to get into a private school and the interview wasn't going too well, until the principle asked me what I like to do for fun.  I shyly said, "sing".  His demeanor completely changed and he proceeded to say that he said he respected that and said that it stood out from the many interview answers because he said, singing is a form of outward expression that tells everyone how you feel.  And he said that its scientifically proven that singing causes you to be happy, it send seratonin? or something like that causes the brain to trigger a happy mood. I dunno if the principle was full of crap or what but I believe it  because of Karaoke. Its ridiculously  fun.  I mean, friends that are usually shy and soft spoken even let loose when they are belting out cheesy songs.  Its great.  I always thought the rest of the world knew this...?  If you've never done it, you must and what better way than to do it in paradise?

Top Best Karaoke:

Krazy Karaoke    

This is the place that we went to on our trip in '06.  They have about 4 to 5 private rooms that fits about 8 people in it.  You get 2 mics, a couple of song books with codes in them that you punch into a remote control for the tv.  This is a mellow place with good prices and is the closest one to my house.

Karaoke Hut

This place is amazing.  They have both rooms and a lounge with a full bar and booths.  They also have in the lounge, pool tables, darts and video games.  So, if you are on a waiting list for a room, you can chill and hang in the lounge, watch people sing, get a drink and play a pool game.

This is in Honolulu. A far drive but well worth it. 

Karaoke Room 2

This place is okay.  Its usually good if you going with a ton of people.  Because they have a room that fits up to like 14 people i think? 

This is Honolulu by Ala Moana Shopping center.

If your going for a more open karaoke and arent shy to sing in front of people you dont know, then Sansei is the place.  Its a sushi bar that turns into a karaoke lounge after hours.  The sushi is good there but its a bit on the pricey side.
