Who invented karaoke? What was it like when it was first invented? Why do you choose this name?

Jing Daole Inoue, the inventor of karaoke, gave voice to Asians. Time magazine rated him as "Mao Zedong and Gandhi changed the days in Asia, and Jing Daole Inoue changed the nights in Asia". Inoue 1944, 60 years old, was born in an ordinary staff family in Osaka Prefecture. Because of his poor family, he often worked in school. At the age of 23, he worked as an accompaniment in a nightclub accompaniment team. At that time, Japan was deeply influenced by western hippie style, and young people were crazy about music. The rapid development of society makes the reserved Japanese feel the pressure and boredom of life, and listening to singers in bars and other places has become their main pastime. Sensitive Inoue realized this when filling the accompaniment music for his friend's tape recorder, and came up with a genius idea to make an accompaniment machine with two microphones and a cash box. When the coin is put in, the machine will play accompaniment music. Inoue asked the mechanic to make a karaoke machine according to his idea. The first batch of karaoke machines 1 1 were soon put on the bar, and the tracks played were also pouring in. I didn't expect to make a penny in the first week. Smart Inoue asked the waitress to do the chorus, and then asked the guests to sing together, which soon received the effect. The microphone keeps ringing from 6: 30 pm to 65438+ 0: 30 am. Later, the karaoke machine entered the pub, which greatly changed the atmosphere of the pub and made the sales of the pub soar. According to the statistics of Japan Karaoke Association, when Karaoke was at its most brilliant, there were more than 60 million consumers of Karaoke among more than 654.38 billion Japanese citizens, and the annual sales of this industry reached 654.38+06 billion US dollars. However, Inoue missed the biggest financial source because he didn't apply for the patent of karaoke machine. Inoue's Xinyue Company, though constantly bringing forth new ideas and producing ok backup singers with better performance, still can't compete with powerful big companies. Especially after the birth of CD technology, tape karaoke backup singers were gradually eliminated by the market, and Inoue's company declared bankruptcy on 1987. However, Inoue said that he did not regret losing his patent right, which may have enabled him to get a lot of money in the 1980s, but he may also have overextended himself and invested in other fields, leaving him a mountain of debts after the Japanese economic recession. Inoue still keeps in touch with the karaoke industry. He runs a small company, selling cockroach medicine, ant medicine and rodenticide, and selling cockroach medicine to karaoke boxes. In his view, 80% of the failures of karaoke machines are caused by bugs. "Although he didn't get great wealth, Inoue was deeply respected by the Japanese people. The Japanese often say that if Mao Zedong and Gandhi changed the days in Asia, then Jing Daole Inoue changed the nights in Asia. 1999, Inoue was named one of the 20 most influential people in Asia in the 20th century by American Time magazine. 6543810.5, Japan's Asahi shimbun published an editorial dedicated to Inoue's winning the Ig Nobel Prize, praising his contribution. On June 65438+1 October1day, 2004, at the Ig Nobel Prize awarding conference held at Harvard University in the United States, the inventor of karaoke, Daisuke Inoue of Japan, won the Peace Prize for inventing karaoke, which provided people with a new tool of mutual tolerance and understanding. The almost forgotten manager of this small company has once again become a hot figure in Japan.
