Karaoke was invented in which country?

Karaoke originated in Japan. The original meaning of karaoke in Japanese is: a cappella band. It is one of Japan's three great inventions to the world.

Karaoke usually plays lyrics with beat prompts on the TV screen, and at the same time plays music accompaniment recorded on the video and stored in the media without lead singer voice, and then participants sing with a microphone while watching the lyrics.

Karaoke is a Japanese-English hybrid name. Kara means "empty" in Japanese, and OK is the abbreviation of "A cappella band" in English. In China, it became "karaoke". Karaoke was introduced to Hong Kong and Taiwan from Japan, and then swept through Chinese mainland with devastating force.

Origin:

Due to Japanese customs, if a man comes home too early, his neighbors will look down on him and think that he has no entertainment at work every day. Going home too early every day has become a joke of others, so many Japanese men gather in bars or teahouses to chat late after work.

Later, slowly, they felt that they should find something new to kill time. In the bar, while drinking, you can sing with simple things such as TV and microphone. Later, with the development of science and technology, it evolved into today's karaoke.
