Man, I wish I had had this when I was in Japan. I arrived there in 1993 and I can't believe nobody told me about this. I'm sure it was crazy expensive (considering the cards were ¥7,800 each!). Nobody would have been using this on the bus or train. That would just not be the done thing. The purpose would be to allow one to practice in private so you could learn some songs and develop your skills. Karaoke was a huge thing when I was there. All kinds of "voluntary" work outings for drinks and karaoke and such. Now, Japanese have a wonderful approach to karaoke, they believe that ability should be no barrier to participation. If someone really sings well, they are praised for it, but if someone does not, they are praised for their wonderful spirit and effort. But, I'm sure nobody wanted to actually be bad at it, so practicing in private might help you to impress a boss or a client. Or maybe a lady (or whatever else you might like to impress). The cool thing about this is that lousy screen. Because it is so basic, it can't display kanji (kanji are the really complicated characters you see in Japanese writing). Kanji convey meaning and they have a pronunciation but there is no clue as to how to pronounce them contained in the character. You can't "sound them out". You just have to memorize the 2,000 or so kanji needed for literacy and just learn the different ways they are pronounced (did I mention their pronunciation changes depending on how they are used or what other characters they are paired with?). At normal karaoke, they have subtitles on the TV screen that displays the words you are supposed to sing. Usually those lyrics have a bunch of kanji in them. Which meant I could not sing them because my knowledge of kanji was limited. But Japan also has two phonetic writing systems, hiragana and katakana. Each character has a sound associated with it, so you can sound them all out, just as when learning a new word in English (it's even better than English because there are not silent letters or other foolishness). The Korg displays katakana for all the songs you showed because the screen isn't good enough to display kanji. If I had had one, I could have used it at home to learn popular Japanese songs phonetically and performed them when I went out with colleagues. I would have also picked up some kanji too, I'll bet, because the lyric sheet probably contains the actual kanji.

I'm Japanese, but I often watch Techmoan videos (I like CHIPS aka フライドホテト). At that time, Japanese karaoke in a one-person style was rare, and in the past it became a karaoke using 8 tracks, later a laser disc, and a telephone line. They were karaoke that multiple people enjoyed. The style of enjoying karaoke alone has been popular in Japan for several years, and now there is a karaoke room for one person. Smartphone karaoke apps are also widespread. This is very close to the way of singing like this video. (You may know Smule etc.)

Wonder if you could turn the music on Techmoan’s end credits into a chip tune or remix it. Perhaps 8 bit guy could play it on Keyboard or Commodore in 8 bits. 🤔Wonder if 8 bit chip tune music🎵 became more popular, if it would take a byte out of the Music Industry, instead of the Music Industry taking a bite out of home audio recording equipment. Portable karaoke machine🎤 might be good for circuit bending, accept I am torn between creating art and music and creativity and the need I feel is important to protect technology from past and keep them working as an historical artefact. I think 🤔 💭Techmoan channel is an important historical look back and at present technology and hope Techmoan channel last on long into the future on what ever platform Internet or device the future may bring. Forget the experiments burning The Superman Movie onto Holographic Storage on to Glass they should be burning Techmoans videos on to Glass to preserve them or show in Technology Museums of the Future, perhaps in Future Techmoan or Techmoans of Future could make a video about the old and obsolete Holographic Storage.

Random tangent: A lot of Japanese pop and rock in the '80s did that thing you were talking about at circa 15:00, where the riff sounds like something well-known in the West and then the song goes off in a different direction. I have no evidence to back this hypothesis up, but I suspect some producers were trying to pad radio airplay by making the beginnings of songs sound like big Western hits, so that people trawling around the radio dial wouldn't tune away from the station right away when they started. One of the most striking examples I can remember is one of the songs that were used in the OVA series _Bubblegum Crisis,_ which sounds uncannily like "Don't Cry" by Asia for the first 20 seconds, and then not at all like it for the rest of the track. The intro completely doesn't fit with the song. Nowadays we'd think it was some weird DJ mash-up. :)

You can use Bubblegum Crisis as an example of a more direct example. Konya wa Hurricane is very directly Going Nowhere Fast as done by the Japanese.

Have to say you're likely wrong about the motivation: Western music is not and has never been as popular in Japan as its local pop and rock music. This is why Japanese acts re-recorded things like SAW tunes in Japanese -- the songs would not have become as popular if they were just released as-is sung by Western acts. The motivation was probably more like the composer liking those tunes and wanting to use them, and also that they could get away with it. For example, the idol duo Wink recorded Kylie Minogue's "Turn It Into Love" and had a huge hit (Oricon no. 5 in 1989), AFTER which Kylie's original version also became a singles hit in Japan. Not the other way around.

It's because the HD44780 controller uses an 8-bit charset and only came in a version with ASCII and (halfwidth) katakana at most. You can't really fit both hiragana and katakana together with ASCII in 256 characters. There was another ROM option that substituted European and some math characters instead of katakana, which is what you usually get in electronics shops in the EU when you buy an HD44780 (or clone) display. This was common back in that time in Japan; electronic gizmos almost exclusively used katakana for screens like this. Even today you see them now and then.

I've been showing the anime Cat's Eye to my son. He loves it, and watching along with him I discovered the original musics as the intro and outro themes were localised for French TV in my youth and I had never heard the originals before. I hasten to add that the French themes were great in their own rights, but the Japanese ones are bloody brilliant ! No wonder they were turned into Karaoke titles back then.

9:10 that's "cat's eye" by anri. absolutely one of my favorite j-pop songs of all time. the 1983 album from which this track comes has another karaoke classic "i cant stop the loneliness".
And if Im correct the beginning of "I Can't Stop the Loneliness" can be heard at 15:04

The YM3411 is indeed a Yamaha "surround sound processor" so it's the reverb chip. The Korg chip is probably a very simplistic General MIDI ROMpler chip. Ironically, the "deluxe edition" microphone looks suspiciously like a rebranded Shure PG58.

Very interesting.... As a life-long Korg synth user, I was really interested in the sound chip in the unit you presented. I cannot tell if it is really from the M1 or not, as there are similar sounds that might have been in the M1 (came out in 1988) but many that did not 'M1-ish'. General MIDI was not really a thing yet (wasn't officially released as a standard until 1991), so maybe this is Korg's version of a standardized sound format using a watered down version of the AI Synthesis that was used in the M1 (and so many synths after that). It does not sound analog, like their models were back up until the M1. Great video :)
