Release some stress and burn some calories while you sing your heart out with your loved one?

Karaoke is one of the more popular activities that most Japanese people partake of to enjoy their time with friends and family. Always affordable, you and your date will be able to choose any of the greatest hits that you want to pour your heart into.

Karaoke machines in Japan typically give you a score (based on pitch, tone, etc.) after each song, and even how many calories you burned, making it a fun challenge to beat your previous score. You can even compete with your date if you want, to decide who the better singer is in the relationship.
