SOURCE
However other opinions say it was already known far before, between 1950 and 1960, and that it began with an American TV-show, according to that version TV-spectors sang following a ball jumping above the songtext on their TV-screen. Appearently it was after that period that the Japanese made the Karaoke entertainment and for the first 20 years it only was there in Japan, later it came all over the world. |

CURIOSITIES.
THE "KARAOKE BOXES" |
 |
|||
| These are acoustically isolated rooms, closed with a door, placed on roadsides where people can sing, without disturbing anybody else. The first "Karaoke box" was placed in 1984 in a rice camp of Prefectura de Okayama, in the eastern zone of Kansai. Later they became more comun, even nearby the cities, and in buildings, these last ones are individual soundproofed rooms. At present there are more than 100.000 "Karaoke boxes" in Japan.. | ||||
| WHY
DO WE LIKE SINGING? Let's first admit that we all like to sing. We often sing in the car, having a shower and so on, but the sensation that you are singing in a public place, knowing that everybody is watching you is quite different. Karaoke is always an "outcome" in bars, restaurants, hotels and houses. Singing takes your troubles away and is relaxing, that's why so many people get addicted to it. |
