Rolling Eyes But karaoke's not as fun by yourself...

I can sing to myself at home for free and without having to go anywhere. Cool

careful buddy you'll get scolded if you do things like this


on the subject; why would anybody want to do Karaoke solo I thought the whole purpose was to be with groups of people. but never actually karaoke'd before so don't know if it's funner with or without people.

Reminds me of what Yozora and Sena did in Haganai episode 6.

I guess the idea is that you look so pathetic going in there by yourself that girls feel bad for you and take you out.

The single person restaurants are a good idea, though. I hate sitting alone at a big table and eating at the bar is only OK if you drink.

I for one thought this was a good idea upon first reading. But I also enjoy going to the theater by myself when the entire place is empty.

I don't think this is a replacement for group karaoke, but rather some kind of supplement to it. It's like a small personal recording studio.

I like the singles restaurant idea too. Makes sense to have a small personal grill or hot pot since one person might like to enjoy such a meal but would end occupying something like a 4 person table.

For the karaoke, it seems to kind of defeat the purpose, though I suppose you could use it as practice.

Now, if they connect this to an online game like Rock Band, then it wouldn't be so bad. Laughing
