🎶 First time at karaoke in Japan? 6 tips

Queue songs on the tablet

Every room has a touch-screen remote, called a denmoku. Switch it to English and search by artist or title.

English songs are everywhere

Japanese karaoke systems carry huge English catalogues, plus K-pop, C-pop, Spanish and more.

Start with a group song

Pick something everyone knows. It’s the fastest ice-breaker in the room.

Share the mic

Queue one song at a time so everyone gets a turn. Duets are a great way to meet people.

Use the tambourine

Rooms usually have tambourines or maracas. Cheering for others is half the fun.

Can’t sing? Perfect.

Nobody is there to judge. The worst singers often get the loudest cheers.
