Development history

Karaoke was the most popular time in 1990s, but it also experienced a series of evolution. In the early days, I remember seeing someone pushing a karaoke machine to do mobile business when I was a child. It has two microphones and a cash box. If you don't put money in, the machine won't play accompaniment music and the microphone won't work.

With the prevalence of pro-Japanese style at that time, this OK style was blown into Taiwan Province Province in the late 1970s, and it was officially translated into karaoke.

At dances in the 1960s, people were accompanied by traditional bands. During this period, there appeared a form in which singers danced for people with their songs. This is the first time to separate accompaniment music and singing into two independent parts.

In the late 1960s, after the advent of cassette recorders, left (L) and right (R) stereo tapes can record two kinds of sound sources, one is accompaniment music, and the other is vocal singing. People can learn to sing pop songs with this tape.
