Reminder that karaoke is not only a Japanese invention but an integral part of Japanese culture, just like singing and voice acting in general is. A very sound and healthy choice.

While singing has been degraded to vulgar fame and attention seeking in the Western world, singing in itself remains a crucial spiritual element for every human being. Not a coincidence most religious services make extensive use of the human voice. Just look at an Orthodox or Catholic liturgy for ample evidence.

What keeps you from making use of your voice, from singing? Singing has profound effects on the human mind and body, and karaoke offers an easy way to enter its world. Those outstanding voice actors from Japan didn't appear out of nowhere you know. A culture of connecting with one's God-given voice and using it stands behind it.
