I guess they wanted to sing, so when they were told that the GO TO Eat Hokkaido vouchers couldn't be used, they obediently got in a taxi. The next day, with some vouchers still left and it being the last day, they asked, "Where should we go?" There were only 5 vouchers left, so they decided on a ramen shop. After drinking and singing for two hours, they realized they had drunk more than at any other place. They had 5 drinks, while their partner had 4. The beer felt weaker than usual. The next day wasn't too bad, but their throat was sore.

Karaoke bar in Hokkaido called "Uta-ya". I was brought here by a friend after drinking. We arrived early. It was said that it's cheap until 8 pm, but it seems I confused it with another store in Abashiri city, so we had to pay the regular night fee. The all-you-can-drink option is mandatory and costs 350 yen plus tax for 30 minutes. I'm not sure about the market price, but it might be cheap for those who can drink. The drink menu is extensive, ranging from regular gin and Kahlua drinks to mojitos, sours mixed with vegetable juice, and even non-alcoholic floats. I tried various drinks, but as a result, our karaoke session was a bit sloppy. Be careful not to drink too much, okay.

Tonight is a festival, and all the little people from the dreamland are gathered, making it lively with a "hoi hoi yo, donjara hoi". We started drinking from noon, so we can't stop anymore. There are two of us left. We sent Basama and her sister home because it's already late, and there's nowhere to drink at this hour in Abashiri. The only place we could think of was the "Song House". It's located in front of the city hall. The soundproofing isn't great, so it gets noisy when you step out into the hallway. If the music is good, it's fine, but today's young people were terrible rockers, it sounded like they were fighting. It's all-you-can-drink, so we drenched ourselves in beer. We sang until the bar that serves drinks opens tomorrow. We sang for three hours because we drank until then. I realized that to relieve stress, it's not alcohol but singing that does the trick. I feel refreshed.

"The song house" all started here with the "Takahashi Group." Now they dominate in Abashiri. It's amazing how they made the group a Hokkaido-wide thing in one generation. "Song house" spread from this store throughout Hokkaido. But the real progress was at "Music House" in Komaba. I thought I had reviewed it again since I have visited many times before. It's unusual for me, who is greedy for review numbers, not to have reviewed it. It's empty. Is karaoke not popular anymore? Even I only sing a few times a year now. Maybe it's because there are fewer people in Abashiri. I ordered "beer," "potato fries," and their specialty "takozangi." In the past, I used to stop singing when the staff came, but now I sing even louder. That's not good, but the "beer" with all-you-can-drink is not good... Just kidding, it's "bad." The "potato fries" are okay. No complaints about the "takozangi." I ended up extending my singing session.

Aurora-gou, the final stop of the night in Abashiri after "Ishizawa" and "Kihei" is here at "Uta-ya" for karaoke~♪ Walking from Kihei-san, it's about 5 minutes away. According to the receipt I have, we entered at 8:00 PM and left at 10:00 PM, a very wholesome trio. I'm always wholesome though. It's hard to believe from the usual behavior of Yamada tour guide. All-you-can-drink (without beer) for 30 minutes is 400 yen (a bit more with beer). When I was weakly told "Eh~?" by the tour guide, I confidently said, "This is fine!!" I remember making the drink order over the phone. The tour guide had something whiskey, Hanako-chan had plum wine on the rocks, and I think I timidly asked for oolong tea. We had octopus fritters as a snack. The prices are higher at night here, but I'm sure it's cheaper during the day, right? It might be interesting to switch up the route like Kihei next time. Karaoke means you can start drinking early! It's cheaper during the day. So, if we go to karaoke in Sapporo with Zero-kai, let's try doing it first next time? Everything is an experiment, let's try it next time. "Ishizawa", I'm glad we could go this time~ It was nice to go to a place where there was such a difference in points between the tour guide and Tom-chan. Thank you for the day, Yamada tour guide~ Looking forward to the next day too!! Good night~♪
