Karaoke Around the World: Global Technology, Local Singing but at $160 I’d rather experience a few nights of debauchery instead. Like this one:

However, the very global chapter titles include “Karaoke in Italy,” “Swedish forms of karaoke,” and “Karaoke and Middle Aged Woman in Japan.” Dying to know!
