Okay — I admit it, I once joined a Japanese singing contest 😀 It was just a lark — and the organizers of the event were genuinely begging people to join. We didn’t want all their efforts to go to waste, so some friends and I sent in our applications, and showed up to make fun of ourselves in front of an audience. A good time was had by all 😀
