1. The development history of karaoke Karaoke originally means "unaccompanied band" in Japanese. It was invented by Mr. Daisuke Inoue in the 1960s when he was a drummer in a salon band in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. Backing vocal track and portable microphone. Within three years, karaoke became very popular, and major companies copied Inoue's ideas and launched their own models. By the time someone suggested he apply for a patent, it was already too late. Inoue admitted: "I never thought about applying for a patent." The concept existed long before Inoue invented the 8-Juke (eight-channel jukebox) in 1971, and the 8-Juke was a red and white wooden box. It is equipped with a microphone, amplifier and eight-track cassette player, and the instrument panel is labeled in English to make it look "fashionable". Inoue used this prototype karaoke as a drum accompaniment for a singer-less band, and played it in the salon when he accepted song requests from customers who wanted to sing. Later, he thought that he could borrow a machine to perform the accompaniment function. Inoue said: "I was the worst one in the band, and I had no musical skills at all, so they made me the band manager. I thought, why not use machines to do what we do?" At his encouragement, Six The band members formed a company called Crescent, which produced 11 8-Juke record players and rented them out to local bars, allowing people who wanted to sing to borrow the TV-sized record players for 100 yen ($0.83). Play a backing track. The price was quite high at the time, but satisfied consumers were willing to spend the money. Inoue said: "Without karaoke, it was almost impossible to sing like a professional singer with a full background band. In the past, that was a dream." Thirty years later, karaoke has become a worldwide household term. "Crescent Company fought hard with big companies until 1987, constantly launching newer and better-performing karaoke record players. However, after the birth of laser disc technology, he finally gave up. Daisuke Inoue was once selected as the most influential person in Asia by Time Magazine He said he did not regret losing the patent rights, which made him prosperous in the 1980s, and that he probably over-expanded into other investments, leaving him behind after Japan's economic downturn. A lot of debt. "I never bought land, stocks, golf club memberships, nothing," Inoue said. Except for funerals, I never wear a suit and tie. " 2. The emergence of karaoke dance halls. At dance parties in the 1960s, there were traditional bands to accompany people to dance. During this period, singers used singing to accompany people to dance. This was the first time that music and singing were accompanied. Separated into two parts. After the advent of the cassette recorder in the late 1960s, the left (L) and right (R) stereo tapes can record two sound sources, one is accompaniment music, and the other is vocal singing. People can use this tape Learning how to sing a popular song. After people learn to sing the song, they will turn off the vocal channel and sing the song in person through a microphone. This entertainment activity first became popular in Japan, and the Japanese call it this. KARAOKE entertainment game, KARA means "empty" in Japanese, and OKE is the abbreviation of English symphony. Therefore, the KARAOKE game was invented by the Japanese. This KARAOKE game quickly became popular in Japan and caused a great disturbance in society. In some bars, cafes, and dance halls, the boss quit the original band and used a set of audio equipment. This was dissatisfied by a large number of electroacoustic bands, and they proposed a solution to the entertainment industry and KARAOKE manufacturers. In Japan, which operates according to economic laws, these are of no use. These bands had no choice but to switch to the advertising industry and TV drama production industry. In the early 1970s, after the emergence of video recorders, images were used to interpret the artistic conception of songs, forming a hearing system. It is a comprehensive art system that combines vision and subtitle prompts (using lyrics bordering and color changing methods). After the advent of laser disc players in the late 1970s, this equipment was all digital circuits, so its audio signals and video signals. It is much improved than audio recorders and video recorders.
DVD players and DVDs are characterized by wide frequency response, low noise, and low distortion, making both audio and video reach professional-level standards. Another explanation: Karaok is a miscellaneous name in Japanese and English. Kara means "empty" in Japanese. OK is the abbreviation of "unaccompanied band" in English. The Chinese used this term to affirm it and turned it into "Karaoke". By extension Everything is always OK. OK is always good. It is a form of entertainment that first appeared in Japan in the 1980s. You know, Chinese people go home after get off work, otherwise their wives will be waiting with whips, while Japanese and Korean wives use whips to drive out men. Coming home so early means that the man has no communication skills and no social activities. It means that there is no ability and no ability to make money for the family. For example, working men in Japan and South Korea go to a tavern in groups after get off work, and they always have a couple of drinks in one place and then switch to another one. They stay up until midnight and kick the door open when they get home. Let the neighbors know that he has just come back and how busy he is outside. After returning home, after the series was over, it was already 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning. They had to go to work again in the morning, so they mainly slept on the way. Don't meet a beautiful woman, otherwise they would pretend to be asleep and lean on her. In order to improve the quality of night life, extend the time of night life and increase the content of night life, karaoke was quietly born. Japanese manufacturers such as PIONEER produced LD disc players in response to demand, and record companies produced LD discs for self-entertainment. Through some specialized business establishments, paired with fine wine and beautiful women, everything started to go well. This fashion trend gradually spread to South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and mainland China. Mainland China's cultural life used to be very monotonous in the past, but with these systems, it has given people a civilized, elegant, expressive, gathering, making friends, etc. public place. It is definitely not a red light district, it can only It's yellow, almost pink. Nowadays, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are becoming more and more peaceful. They are all Chinese with yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. However, Taiwan, China is more civilized, and the mass-selling style has emerged spontaneously. First of all, we started in Shanghai. There are 500,000 to 600,000 Taiwanese people in Shanghai. These Taiwanese are scattered to the mainland. What are they doing at night? Whatever they do in Taiwan, they do in mainland China, so the mass-selling model first serves them. 3. Karaoke styles in various countries Japan: The birthplace of Karaoke is Japan.

South Korea: Nationalization. In South Korea, because some Karaoke bars also operate pornography, Koreans are resistant to Karaoke. South Korea's *** once restricted the import of Karaoke equipment, and customs also banned the import of Japanese songs and tapes.

China: There are more than 1,000 song and dance halls and karaoke halls in each provincial capital metropolis, and they are currently developing into medium and small cities and towns. Their scale constitutes the largest karaoke market in the world. "Karaoke" is a relatively new form of entertainment that many people like, and it is also quite popular. As soon as they saw the words "Karaoke" or "OK ??for fun" on the hotel ballroom, everyone knew what it meant. Apparently, the Chinese word "karaoke" comes from the English word karaoke. But where did this English word come from? This word is relatively new and is only included in a few dictionaries. According to Webster's Collegiate Dictionary: Tenth Edition (published in 1993), the word karaoke began to appear frequently in American newspapers in 1982. Its explanation is: a device that plays instrumental acpaniments for a selection of songs to which the user sings along and that records the user's singing with the music. Singing and music can be recorded at the same time.) The dictionary Random House Unabridged Dictionary (1993) explains: an act of singing along to a music video
esp. one from which the original vocals have been electronically eliminated . (An activity of singing to a music video, especially a video in which the original singer has been electronically erased.) The two dictionaries explain the same thing, but in different ways. The former starts with "karaoke" equipment, while the latter focuses on singing. The dictionary says that karaoke comes from the Japanese kara(empty) oke(orchestra); the first half of this statement is correct, but the second half is not entirely correct. The reason is that our neighbors in the east are unparalleled in their activity in coining words; when they coined "karaoke", the first half used the kana kara of the word "empty", and the second half was a loanword "o-ke-su" that was changed from orchestra -to-ra" is reduced to only the first two kana "ok". No wonder that when the word was first coined, some people who were familiar with Japanese but did not know the origin of the word karaoke thought that these four syllables represented the word "empty bucket".
