Inoue Daisuke missed an opportunity to make some money.
  • he “had helped to liberate legions of the once unvoiced: as much as Mao Zedong or Mohandas Gandhi changed Asian days, Inoue transformed its nights.” Mmmh, well, if 'liberating' means 'helped drunks butcher even the most beautiful songs', well, yes. Though, it can't be denied song butchering is fun with when one's the inebriated. Ahhhh... 'Welcome to the HOTEEEL CALIIIIIFORNIIIAAAAAAAA...' *hic*
  • I remember reading about him in coverage of the Ig Nobel awards. He has a great attitude. Inoue once tried working in a proper company but baulked at wearing the salary-man’s uniform: the dark pinstripe suit. “I looked like a rocker and it didn’t go down very well..." I wonder what rockers he had in mind. Or if he meant zoot suiters.
  • A karaoke sign is a sure fire way to stop me going into a pub. Now I know what this guy looks like, I can set about finding him...
  • Huh. That is one huuuuge image to squash into a small frame. Don't the webdesigners know how to shrink an image?
  • Hmmmmmmm. Love him, or hate him? There's little doubt that drunken squawking is a part of modern life in the city...but it's also the root cause of such attrocities as Pop Idol and American Idol. Bloody Simon Cowell.......
