I shall try to define myself in a sentence with a pithy comment at the end:
I'm just an English bloke who lives in Canada after marrying a Canadian lady he met while living in Japan. Yeah, that old cliché.
Still Want More?
Email me for fun and frolics*! My address goes along the lines of Japanese (dot) smoth (@) gmail (dot) com.
*Actual ratio of fun to frolics may vary.
An incomplete list of my karaoke failures and their reasons for being considered as such
Rocks - Primal Scream (onscreen lyrics significantly faster than music; effects of drink preventing adequate memorisation to compensate)
That’s What I go to School for - Busted (inclusion of presumably album-only verse not known by any of the singers due to only having music video-/single-version familiarity)
Locolotion - Orange Range (Extremely fast Japanese rap; unfamiliarity with Japanese language; inebriation)
Amish Paradise - “Weird” Al Yankovic (No familiarity with song whatsoever, but persuaded to perform due to love of Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise, upon which the song is based; inebriation; gesture of relief upon finishing the song mistaken by some parties as black power salute)
