As the songs play, the large TV screen shows pretty panoramas, street scenes or often soft porn to accompany your song, MTV video style. This causes no unpleasantness to other frequenters of the establishment, who are mostly secluded in their own little boxes merrily singing away. The karaoke-ists settle down with their favourite beverage, and pass the microphones from person to person to bawl out their rousing tunes in private. Some smaller establishments feature vending machines selling some awesome vended food, with burgers, yakisoba fried noodles and okonomiyaki arriving steaming hot from the machine's gaping maw. There is usually an intercom system or bell which can be used to order food and drink, or at least to call an attendant to take an order. The programming of the system is left to you 1. It is usually lined with nice comfy chairs or sofas centred around a nice coffee table, and fitted with its own TV set/hi-fi system all ready to play any of your favourite tunes from a sizeable, catalogued collection.

In this massively popular form of entertainment, a group of people, numbering from two to perhaps 15, in larger establishments, rent out, for a small hourly fee, a small room. The type of karaoke familiar to unfortunate UK pub-goers is very different from what is probably the most intensively practised variety - the Japanese 'box' style of sing-along.
