That is the meaning of "karaoke", not "bad sound" as I had always thought.
(10 sec language lesson: kara is the word for "open", therefore karate is "open hand" martial arts)
The Japanese really are as crazy for karaoke as you've always heard. Last week we had our first Japanese karaoke experience and it was nuts. We went with our friends who had picked the spot. We thought we were going to a spa, the place was decked out with chandeliers and white sofas. We were lead to a little cubicle with a leather sofa and table and flat screen tv. Each cubicle had drink service, so we got settled, plugged in and karaoked.
Our friend Nakano-san sang this song, complete with the dance moves. She said it was a big hit back in the day. The video really cracked me up, so thought I would share.
