I remember these microphone toys...!
My parents bought these for us a few times when we were little.

There's soda candy inside, right?!
I used to pretend to be an idol using these.

Hehe. Same.
I even remember using the TV remote as a mic.

Back then, microphones seemed to have this mystical quality to them. Like they represented idols somehow.

Exactly! That's why I was so excited when I held a real one for the very first time! Oh, but that was just for karaoke...

I don't see a problem with that.
Depending on how you go about it, you can make it into a little concert.

Yes, and some of my classmates told me that karaoke places with actual stages have been appearing more recently.

Really?
I'm a little curious what that's like.

Oh, in that case, why don't we all go?!
All this talk is making me want to sing now!

Yeah. It'll double as singing practice, so let's take a little detour!
