Divine Empty Wind Special Orchestra Unit
The Rules
- 1.) Sixty minutes, start to finish.
- 2.) Youngest attendee starts.
- 3.) Everyone must sing.
- 4.) No one sings two songs in a row.
- 5.) If you're not feeling it, skip it.
- 6.) Last song is a singalong, selected by newest member.
What is this?
D.E.W.S.O.U., pronounced DOO-soo is an acronym that stands for Divine Empty Wind Special Orchestra Unit. This is a blending of the translation of the English words "kamikaze" and "karaoke". The word "kamikaze" is has very strong negative connotations for the Japanese. We wanted a name that would preserve the idea of karaoke as a swift activity (rather than a slog) without offending the very people who popularized this activity. DEWSOU seeks to bring energetic pacing to what otherwise can be a sloppy, evening-dominating activity.
