Any performer planning on working in Japan should make the show picturesque. This is our best day yet for performing. We gather good-sized crowds and the audience responds well. We are still not sure how to make them laugh, but we know how to get some response. This proves very effective.
Volunteers are another problem.
We need volunteers for our show, but the shy audiences do not volunteer. We've solved this problem through sheer force. I smilingly grab audience members by the wrist and drag them into the act. But, after all, they've paid good money to get a glimpse of western culture. In a singing bar, you put some yen into a fancy juke box and it plays a nicely arranged song complete with everything except voices.
