Re:Kara-oke (Score 1)

It's all true, except imo for the bit about the natural evolution of language being a bad thing. I don't mind Japanese use of loan words with katakana except that it often gives Japanese the false impression that English-speakers should be able to understand English pronounced through katakana. What are the alternatives to movieok, anyway? karamovie? karamuubi? karabi? emptyga? emga (yikes, sounding like enema)? As for 'Movie Orchestra' -- personally I'd love to get my hands on a copy of Lord of the Rings without Howard Shore's dire score and try my hand at giving a decent soundtrack using existing material or by writing new stuff. I guess that isn't much of a bar game, though...
