from Japan, but it is not the Japanese for ‘drunk and tone-deaf’ as you might think! It actually means ‘empty orchestra’. It all started in a small music bar in the city of Kobe. One night when the usual guitarist didn’t turn up, the desperate bar owner recorded some music and invited his customers to sing instead. The craze soon spread, and special karaoke machine were invented. The idea was that however badly you sang everyone applauded at the end, and it proved the perfect way for stressed Japanese businessman to unwind.Today, just twenty years after it started in Kobe, you can find karaoke bars all over the world. It is so popular in China that restaurants normally have several karaoke machines going at the same time. these days, you can hire karaoke machines that not only play music and videos, but also have smoke machines, laser light, and even dancers and a DJ to accompany you, while you make-believe for a few minutes that you are the star. As one karaoke fan put it, ‘It’s something everyone should try at least once in their life’.
Comment :-
I think karaoke is good for perfect way for stressed when people want to realest stress and tension after works. It also can be a way as to show people’s talent in singing. But, for karaoke bars I don’t agree because it can be a bad factor such as bad symptom social for teenagers. When they assemble in the karaoke bars, they can influence their friends to smoke or drunk.
