karaoke
Bar singing night
Karaoke is a form of entertainment where people sing along to recorded music with the vocals removed, following lyrics displayed on a screen.
The activity originated in Japan and became popular worldwide in bars, private rooms, and at home.
We're going out for karaoke tonight.
The word combines Japanese terms for "empty" and "orchestra."
