Operation Karaoke:

FAIL

Miracle : Karaoke Denied

The hotel itself was the "Hananoi" Spa Super Hotel, so the baths there felt incredible. But there was squat-all for karaoke spots in the vicinity...sadness.

Or rather, this is also a tale that says, "Don't go the night before a convention." :-)

Reader-added tags include "Well done, Sanae-san", "Were you going to sing 'Bloddy Stream ' (sic) with Esidisi, Kogasa-san?" and "Refresh yourself with a good cry, Kogasa-san"

Kogasa's last line mimics one by the JoJo character Esidisi. It's become a meme (along with his weird, weeping expression) among the Japanese online crowd.

The survey's eager for some hot springs amenities:

Let's go to the Earth Spirits Hot Springs! What kind of service should we get?
• Kisume's back scrub (occasionally get headhunted)
• Okuu's all-you-can-eat hot springs eggs (occasionally baluts)
• Orin's full-body massage (feels great, sends you to Hell)
• Satori's counseling (unearths major trauma)
• Just Koishi peeking in now and then

No Karaoke!
Sanae: YES! MIRACLE POWER!

The poll poses some difficult choices...

Poor Kogasa-san; can't do any karaoke, but at least she'll be able to get some sleep and be able to hit the next day running fast. That, and it made Sanae-san happy, which is good, considering how she would have reacted to all the eating earlier. It all balances out.

For the poll, Okuu's all-you-can-eat hot springs eggs sounds safe. A few little delicacies showing up is no big deal.

And lets just hope they don't have any bones yet.

Really? Three-week-old ones are the best.

I dislike chewing on bones, it annoys me with fish, with chickin, and probably also with fetal ducklings.

Baluts are nice but I just hope it doesn't belong to Okuu...

I would gobble up all the balut that I can get my hands on. It's been five years since I last had some.

Name your price. I actually liked balut. It's a delicacy and is common here in the Philippines. AND I LOVE IT!
