How about starting your Saturday morning wrapped in the aroma of coffee, laughing together with people from all over the world? The venue is a spacious, comfortable Starbucks, such as the one at Shinjuku Southern Terrace. Participation is free — you simply cover your own food and drinks. It's a simple, easygoing style. English, Japanese, or any other language is welcome. Conversation topics are completely open, so there's no need to worry about "what should I talk about." Drop by casually on your way to shopping or an outing. This is Matsuri's most relaxed Meetup.
"I'm not so confident in my English, but I want to make friends from all over the world" — this is the night we want to hand the mic to you. We've booked out an entire party room at a karaoke venue in neon-drenched Kabukicho, for a night of uninhibited singing with a wonderfully international crowd. Anime songs, Western hits, J-POP — anything goes. The moment the intro starts playing, language skills — and singing skills — stop mattering. Shake a tambourine, shout along to the chorus of a song you've never heard — with "singing" as your common language, a total stranger becomes a friend by the second song. That's the real magic of this gathering. **Free-flow soft drinks included**, so you can keep the energy up all the way to the final song without worrying about your glass running dry.
