Starting in 2004, I've spent each birthday on a day-long quest, trying to set a new personal best for the number of anime songs sung at karaoke (the entire song, natch, not just one verse). The marathon is gruelling, but it's also a unique way to reflect on life, with the songs evoking a steady stream of memories from throughout the nearly three decades that I've been a fan. And at marathon's end, there's the satisfaction of having achieved something new.
My goal in 2004 was to sing 141 anime songs; I had sung 100 anime songs a few times before, but singing an amount that would be my-new-age-plus-100 would be a serious challenge. I made it, though--plus one to grow on!
