No kidding... I always go to karaoke with a mixed group of Asians & whites and everyone's usually more than fine with me singing in Japanese (and the ever-polite asians usually compliment me on my pronunciation). White people singing in Japanese don't look ridiculous... in fact, from what I gather, they look impressive. XD I've never met a native speaking Japanese or Korean person who reacted with anything other than favor when I or my white friends sing in Japanese or Korean.
I sang a duet of "Seishun Amigo" with a Japanese girl, and she had fun & wanted to sing with me again later that night.
The only thing about my singing that I'm self-conscious about is how deep my voice is... but what the hey, I'm still gonna sing. It's way too much fun to say no to! I'll sing till my throat's raw.
Besides, isn't the whole point of karaoke to make a fool out of yourself around your friends? It's a good exercise in self-confidence.
