In October, major digital karaoke provider Xing Inc. established a website showing alternative uses for karaoke rooms.
The Nagoya-based subsidiary of Brother Industries Ltd. suggested how customers can also use the rooms to watch movies and music performance videos with high-quality audio equipment, or to play musical instruments without worrying about the noise leaking outside.
Companies in the karaoke industry, struggling to attract customers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, are also coming up with new services that make use of their soundproof karaoke rooms.
