The first Karaoke machine was developed in 1970 by Japanese singer Daisuke Inoue. To satisfy frequent "sing-along" requests for his songs, Inoue made a tape recorder that played a song for a 100-yen coin. Karaoke is a Japanese phrase, "kara" comes from "karappo" meaning empty and "oke" is the abbreviation of "okesutura," or orchestra.
