Tokyo Wankei and ビッグエコー

Just go through watching about 10 hours or so of Tokyo Wankei last week. A story about Nihonjin and Kankokujin living in Japan. It was sort of corny, but even though, I really enjoyed it...but, I'm a jdorama neophyte. I really liked Yukie Nakama - who wouldn't!!!

This drama was done in 2004, the first year I ever visited Japan. Luckily my friend Randal had his Japan friend, Yoosun, show us around Tokyo. One night, we ended up singing and drinking at a BigEcho karaoke box. These BigEchos http://www.clubdam.com/be are EVERYWHERE in Japan and we spent 3 hours or so in one near the Ginza / Shinbashi area.



Yoosun in the BigEcho - where she sang Yuki no Hana (my kind of music - tag).

Yoosun is an awesome AWESOME singer and we could have listened to her sing all night. She kind of reminds me of Miki chan in the drama. And exactly like in Tokyo Wankei, Yoosun always used her Japanese name while living in Japan.....
