Origin of “Karaoke”

Karaoke comes from a pair of Japanese words, “Kara” means empty, and “okesutora” means orchestra. The singer would listen to the recorded music by the orchestra or band and sing his part.
The first karaoke machine was designed in Japan, during the 1970's, by a gentleman named Daisuke Inoue. Inoue-san was a well-known drummer, and his friends asked him to provide recordings of his music so they could sing along at home. Once popularity grew, karaoke spread to the United States, and across East and Southeast Asia. Through the 80's, karaoke continued to become a popular and fun event through many countries. Interestingly however, the karaoke machine was not patented until the 80's, and then by a Filipino inventor named Roberto del Rosario. Karaoke is fun and exciting; and many people practice a few songs to be their theme songs for the opportunities.
