Definition of karaoke is:

"A form of entertainment, originated in Japan, in which a person sings the vocal line of a popular song to the accompaniment of a pre-recorded backing tape, and the voice is electronically amplified through the loud speaker system for the audience as Karaoke bar, music."
Karaoke is a Japanese word that is formed from two other words.  Kara, which means "empty". The other word is oke, and is a shorter version for the word is "orchestra".
The history of karaoke tells us that it was formed in a snack bar located in Kobe City, Japan.  The common belief on how karaoke started goes something like this... A strolling guitarist in a snack bar in Kobe City became sick and could not put on his show at the bar that night.  The proprietor of the snack bar came up with a solution of playing popular songs that had the singer's voice removed.  The people in the bar began singing along with the music and having a good time.  This led the owner to have these "karaoke nights" more often as they grew in popularity.

Prior to the arrival of karaoke in India, people would listen and sing along with popular songs while they were out socializing.  They would also sing along with songs being played on the radio and would often call the radio station requesting their favorite song.  Many of the bars would turn the radio up so the patrons could sing along with it.

It is said that the Indian people truly feel more natural singing themselves rather than listening to others sing.  This all changed with the appearance of karaoke.  Something about holding a microphone and singing along with background music made these karaoke singers feel like they were professionals.  The people sitting in the crowd, who prior to karaoke coming along did not enjoy people singing, would now applaud these karaoke performers.  This has inspired many people to get on stage and perform whether they are on key or not.

As the technology for karaoke has advanced it has allowed karaoke to become more popular than ever before, we “Cine City Hotels” decided to come up with a bar having full time karaoke nights focused towards the guest having fun while drinking.  STUDIOO “Karaoke Bar” Its fully equipped first full time karaoke bar in Chennai. It is a fun night out for the karaoke lovers at an affordable cost.
