There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic.

From the main page, you can search from genre, singers, top hits, new songs, etc. The machine is rather intuitive and easy to use. There is a fair selection of English, Mandarin and Korean songs as well, but of course, the bulk of songs would mainly be Japanese ones. English, Mandarin, and Korean language options are available. If you don’t understand Japanese, fret not. However, the song list in Japan is definitely much more updated than those overseas. I had used one back home when I went singing and found no difference from the one in BIG ECHO’s Nemuro outlet in terms of interface and functionality. BIG ECHO uses the DAM system manufactured by Daiichi Kosho, and this system has even been exported overseas. There is even a Japanese word for it, hitokara, literally meaning solitary karaoke.īIG ECHO is the biggest karaoke chain in Japan and is operated by Daiichi Kosho, one of the biggest electronics manufacturers in Japan. Karaoke is so popular such that people go there alone as well, and no one bats an eyelid if you go alone, something which I will never do back home. I was surprised to even find a karaoke shop in the most rural places like the most eastern part of Japan, Nemuro City. Many karaoke establishments open way past midnight up till 3 am or even later on Friday or Saturday evenings. For those looking for some night entertainment, karaoke makes an interesting activity for tourists to Japan. Karaoke originated in Japan and is a well-liked pastime for many locals young and old alike.
