This email is from a fan named Aru Azumaya! He inquired to us for our segment regarding our Karaoke machines and such, check it out!

I am a guy in a striped jacket that is a music game and karaoke afficionado (I'm sure one of you staffers have probably witnessed me doing karaoke by myself at least once) and let me say, I love what you guys are doing with the place! You all seem to be doing a good job at keeping the machines maintained which bids well for me as a music gamer, and the karaoke experience is pretty top notch with nice setups and a pretty nice atmosphere, not to mention fairly affordable. (Of course, there's always Gamba, but considering that I usually come to R1 from university, it's not really as accessible by bus as R1 is)
I was also pretty excited that you guys were finally starting to get Japanese systems installed in the other rooms as well; I had a freakin' sweet field day with the LiveDAM karaoke system that was installed in room 5 (okay, maybe not so much as field day as much as it was a fieldhour). Though, one concern I have with that system is that the remote that's usually associated with it was nowhere to be seen when I went to try it out, not even over the counter at the information desks :o
Looks something like this, though variations for different versions do exist
As many a Japanese karaoke fan are aware of, the Japanese systems use dedicated remotes to make reserving songs a lot more convenient. It would be nice to have one of these at the store, because it would definitely make things a lot more streamlined and comfortable for everyone involved. At the very least, people won't be sitting on the floor punching in songs directly on the machine's touch screen _(:3 ｣∠ )_
Despite this and some other kinks, the karaoke's still pretty enjoyable if you're just looking to sing to your heart's content for an hour or so! I swear, I'll try not to inquire too much about your karaoke ( ﾟДﾟ)
Best regards,
Aru Azumaya, R1 Silver Club Member
P.S. I wonder if the microphone receivers can be routed as input to the other karaoke machines...? Korean and Japanese karaoke systems do love their scoring systems, after all (´・ω・｀)

Hello Aru-san!
I got your message yesterday and I am very happy to hear that you are content with Round 1! (￣▽￣)ノ We pride ourselves with an amazing staff who is able to maintain the machines to the best of their abilities and to make sure you, the customer feel welcome and happy! I'm VERY excited to hear that you are enjoying our Karaoke rooms: it's a very unique thing that Round 1 offers which many entertainment/amusement areas haven't even thought or ventured out into. Right now, as you may already know, we are trying to implement the LiveDAM and Joysound machines at all of the stores but right now, our store is lacking in them. (;´Д`) What I will do for you is forward your email to our Mechanics Department and see if there is anything we can do since they are the ones who set up the machines and see if there was a remote control included somewhere! Keep in mind that Eastridge's store has only been open for a little bit over a month, so we are still trying to get the flow of things and we are still waiting on some more games, equipment and even Karaoke machines! So we ask that you do stay patient with us, even though sometimes, that may be rather difficult. (ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ (I wouldn't want to see the touch screen getting punched either!)
If you do not mind, we would like to use your email for our next Fan Friday segment! By then, we may actually have a more coherent answer for you about our Karaoke features. Please let me know if that's okay! ヾ(｡･ω･)ｼ
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Amy
UPDATE: It seems that the mechanics were able to find the remotes for the machine! However, we are still waiting on further information regarding LiveDAM and Joysound.

We also had an inquiry from Kevin Phung regarding the stats of Rilakkumas versus Minecraft! In what I believe that it's the Creepers from Minecraft, we have some battle stats!
Rilakkuma
Strength: 4/5
Defense: 2/5
Magic: 1/5
Speed: 3/5
Luck: 3/5
Description: Cute and cuddly, but packs a punch! The Rilakkuma can body slam, punch and tombstone pile-drive any opponent that crosses its path! However, it's only plushie after all: its defense is low because of his handicap of being stuffed with cotton. His primary attack is ADORABLE ADJUSTMENT, a very intense plush throw. Its primary weapon is a prize claw.
Creeper
Strength: 1/5
Defense: 1/5
Magic: 4/5
Speed: 5/5
Luck: 2/5
Description: While the Creeper wants to be your friend, it has a hard way of expressing itself. Using it's hiss and its speed, the Creeper will approach you quickly and explode! However, don't let its intimidating face fool you: it hates cats. Its primary attack is BE MY FRIEND, a huge fiery explosion where the Creeper will start to chase you when it sees you. He is his own primary weapon.
Who would win in a fight?
Based solely on statistics, Rilakkuma is more likely to win in a match, although, he might lose a lot of fluff from all the explosion it sustains.
