There was a lot of singing on that trip.

A lot. If you haven’t seen Team Average Japan, you should watch it here, and marvel at how little singing actually made it into the edit. Not none, but hardly any, considering the relative amount that took place. So much singing in the van, at the spot, in the water - Team Average should be a choir not a surf/skate team. In case you’re curious, Team Average’s singing voices ranked from best to worst:

1. Jaleesa Vincent

2. Kaito Ohashi

3. Austyn GIllette

4. Craig Anderson

5. Noa Deane

6. Shin Sanbongi

7. Lilian Fev

8. Jake Anderson

Bear in mind that this ranking is either just before skating or after a considerable amount of alcohol, so there is some fluctuation, but it is fairly consistent otherwise. Anyway, here are some stand out songs, karaoke classics, van jams, and inside jokes from two weeks in glorious Nihon.
