Let the Oriental Hi Top KTV, why not welcome in the West-KTV-IT information

Sound recording and music, landscaping, upload to the community ... ... Chinese sing k software how long, we all already know.

Karaoke software in foreign countries there, such as Glee Karaoke, and Sing, and StarMaker, Red Karaoke. Use talent show "the voice" karaoke software produced by The Voice did not obtain official authorization, the fans are hi.

But apart from a handful of singing enthusiasts, most Westerners are not played with KTV and karaoke software. K song did not become a gathering of young people will play in the West. KTV software in the Western mainstream, KTV as a form of entertainment, in the Western world are niche niche.

Asians play hi to the explosion of KTV, why in the West is "Hi" not taken off?

Born Kara OK: a group of Japan Hi Man Group products

Kara OK in the Mainland from Taiwan and the Taiwan's Karaoke OK, from Japan.

The Japanese invented karaoke OK, Japanese, Kara-Oke means no band.

In Japan, the men hope after work, returning home at night time "later, later." Not because it was tired of seeing home wife but because, in Japan, report back if the men did not take long to go home after work, is to tell yourself not to socialize without socializing about incompetence. Therefore, in order to pretend to have the ability, they will gather in the pub and teahouse on the chat, delayed time to go home (really "smart"). Nothing, they have fun, think of using television and microphone combination, used to play singing games, this singing game is the prototype of the Kara OK (Kara OK was a product of boredom).

In 1971, the Japanese Daisuke Inoue has invented the world's first microphone, amplifier and coin box karaoke OK, can offer no accompaniment, for use in singing games. Inoue and friends place the machine in Japan in the lounge to promote, they have got, Kara OK as a fun game pop up.

In 1999 time magazine named Inoue "of 20th century's most influential Asians" and said he "changed the Asian nights." But on the other hand, because Inoue Daisuke did not initially thought of Kara OK patent and therefore miss out on a lot of use of patented reap profits. KTV at present degree of popular in Asian circles, really feel pity for him.

Admittedly Kara OK in Asia, especially in China already is a national pastime. Today, the small town in China's coastal plain, large and small, to open up nearly 10 KTV is not difficult, its audience includes men, women and children, and fire than a square dance.

This is by a group of Japan butterfly effect caused by the man group.

Emergence of the Kara OK solves a bunch of Japan Hi Man Group needs. In China, it affords PA MAK Carnival: PA MAK are finally not howling without tears, you can also call friends to go to k-virtuoso.

KTV popular, because it can be "Hi" and "group" mode switch. Chinese people used for the soundtrack of singing k, length is a variety of Board games and drinking culture. When you sing, please enjoy and self-absorbed. When you're not singing or unwilling to sing, and other people to chat, have a drink, maybe even meet friends of friends, expanding the social circle.

Karaoke has become idiomatic in Chinese social life style

This is actually the Chinese "wine" culture, karaoke has become a social habit of the Chinese way.

Hi one round, the Chinese discovered, KTV, which has many "pain points" have not been discovered.

For example, Michael PA out k Hall, always felt that she was still not high enough. For example, there are always some people hiding in the KTV, because she thought that her bad singing, nice face. Fear of luqie not virtuoso, hides the desire to sing, but the heart wants to sing.

China Mobile phone to sing k software. Its selling point is obvious: Mobile, installed in the cell phone at home can also sing. Secondly, the landscaping of the voice function is "American show", lack of confidence in your own voice users can use tune up mode, modified a key for its own voice. These software can also upload and share your own songs, and acquaintances PK, Mai BA virtuoso likes at home--software developers the skills no matter what software you can develop social games, addicting.

Hi karaoke software to meet the Chinese demand, on-line popularity soon after. A k software to China--"sing", for example, May 2012 after the launch, it is only 5 days more than other types of phone applications, rushed to the free top of the App Store. Concept of a think tank survey shows that by 2015 the fourth quarter, China Mobile karaoke scale 53.89 million people. Serves to show the Chinese Duet k it's love, even at home, also had wanted to sing addiction.

After the birth of karaoke software, used to sing in the KTV rooms of user sync to sing Kapp, absent friends listening to function in real time, such functionality does not stamp users are not carried forward. Why? Chinese karaoke on this thing, and very few who seriously appreciate other people singing, and appreciated, there is no need.

Karaoke in the West are still non-mainstream

Although Kara OK in the East is the King of entertainment, but the momentum in the West is much weaker. In the West, Kara OK pleasure of oriental immigrants in the local community.

No lack of love cover songs of young people in the West, why Kara OK culture in Western pop up?

Kara OK could be popular in China, it is because the Chinese have found it to be "local" value. Chinese are good at doing circles, circle-better at dinner, especially like the extends relationship between acquaintances and acquaintances. KTV model, especially suitable for herself and her friends bring their friends, to know each other, and develop relationships. But this is the Oriental culture.

Although we default the West is an open society, but culture is no easy task. In the West, is the mainstream white culture, their "Council" is not k Hall, hosting this party. So young people like midnight in the West to go to the bar, or go to a bar to drink and chat, likes to go hiking and outdoor activities. For growing Western culture for young people, which is the mainstream form of entertainment, it is customary, they stubbornly adhere to the lifestyle.

Western markets are not without karaoke software, karaoke rooms, where most of these stores opened in the East were gathered together, consumers also are Asians. Many in the West want to sing k, where people must go to the East, inconvenient is that they play karaoke is no better than clubbing one reason hi.

Compared with the k stores, karaoke app better. In the West, like Sing, StarMaker, Red Karaoke karaoke software has rolled out the market. Even so, the users are Asian or cover-loving young man, was not the mainstream.

After all, the oriental cultures and the cultures of Latin America, the Middle East culture, just kind of foreign culture in the West, for Westerners to try, but only for early adopters. Oriental culture as weak to the strong Western culture culture is difficult, no matter how hard it is difficult to become the mainstream of Western culture, not to mention sing k just east of many lifestyle, very thin pieces.

Western cultures are inherent in all kinds of entertainment, Kara OK can be accepted, but destined to be a niche form of entertainment.

让东方人嗨到极点的KTV，为啥在西方不受欢迎 - KTV - IT资讯

录歌、美化声音、上传到社区……中国的唱K软件长怎样，我们都已经知道了。

外国其实也有不少K歌软件，譬如Glee Karaoke、Sing、StarMaker、Red Karaoke。借用选秀节目“好声音”制作的K歌软件The Voice虽然没有获得官方授权，粉丝们也玩得很嗨。

只不过，除了小部分翻唱爱好者，大部分西方人也还是没有玩过KTV和K歌软件。K歌也没有成为西方年轻人的聚会必玩项。K歌软件在西方是非主流，KTV作为娱乐方式，在西方人的世界里更是小众中的小众。

东方人玩起来嗨到爆炸的KTV，为啥在西方就是“嗨”不起来？

卡拉OK诞生：一群日本男人群嗨的产物

内地的卡拉OK从台湾传入，而台湾地区的卡拉OK呢，从日本来。

日本人最先发明了卡拉OK，日文中，kara-oke意指无人乐队。

在日本，男人们希望下班后，晚上回家的时间“晚一点，再晚一点”。不是因为看腻了家里的老婆，而是因为，在日本，男人如果下班后没多久就回家报到，就是告诉邻居自己完全没有应酬，而没有应酬约等于无能。所以，为了假装自己有能耐，他们会聚集在酒馆和茶馆里聊天，延后回家的时间（真的很“聪明”）。无聊中，他们为了找乐子，想到了用电视和话筒组合起来，用来玩歌唱游戏，这种唱歌游戏就是卡拉OK的原型（卡拉OK就是无聊的产物啊）。

1971年，日本人井上大佑发明了世界上第一台由麦克风、扩音器和投币箱组成的卡拉OK机，可以提供无人伴奏，供唱歌游戏使用。井上和朋友把这种机器放置在日本酒廊里推广，一来二去，卡拉OK就作为一种娱乐游戏流行了起来。

井上在1999年被《时代周刊》评为“20世纪最有影响力的亚洲人”之一，说他“改变了亚洲的夜晚”。但另一方面，因为井上大佑最初并没有想到要给卡拉OK申请专利，因此错失了大笔利用专利收获的利润。看看KTV目前在东方人圈子里的风靡程度，实在为他感到可惜。

不可否认卡拉OK在亚洲，特别是在中国已经是一项全民娱乐。现如今，在中国沿海普通的小县城，大大小小地开上近10家KTV也没什么难度，它的受众囊括男女老幼，比广场舞还火。

这就是由一群日本男人群嗨而引发的蝴蝶效应。

卡拉OK的诞生解决了一群日本男人群嗨的需求。到中国后，它成全了麦霸们的狂欢：麦霸们终于不用干嚎，还可以呼朋唤友地去K厅炫技。

之所以KTV能风靡，是因为它可以在“自嗨”和“群嗨”模式中自由切换。中国人用来搭配唱K的，时长是各种桌面游戏和酒桌文化。当轮到你唱，请尽情地自我陶醉。当轮你不唱或不愿意唱时，就和其他人聊聊天，喝喝酒，说不定还能认识朋友的朋友，拓展社交圈。

K歌已成国人惯用社交方式

这实际上是中国人“酒局”文化的一种，K歌已经成了中国人习惯使用的社交方式。

嗨过一轮，中国人发现，KTV这件事还有许多“痛点”没被发掘。

譬如，麦霸们离开了K厅，总觉得自己还是没high够。譬如，总有那么一些人在KTV里躲藏着，因为觉得自己歌艺不好又好面子。怕露怯而不敢炫技，掩藏着唱歌的欲望，但其实内心是想引吭高歌的。

于是中国有了手机端的唱K软件。它的卖点显而易见：移动便携，装在手机里在家也能唱。其次，美化声音的功能简直就是“美音秀秀”，对自己的声音没信心的使用者可以使用调音模式，一键对自己的声音进行修饰。这些软件还能上传分享自己的歌曲、和熟人PK，在家也能满足麦霸炫技的技能——软件开发者们不管什么软件都能开发出社交的玩法，让人沉迷。

K歌软件满足中国人自嗨的需求，上线后很快受到欢迎。以中国的一款唱K软件——“唱吧”为例，2012年5月上线后，它仅用5天时间便超过其它各类手机应用，冲到App Store免费榜的榜首。易观智库的一项调查显示，截至2015年第四季度，中国共有移动K歌的用户规模5389万人。足见中国人对唱K这件事的热爱，就算一个人在家，也想要过过唱瘾。

K歌软件诞生后，曾经把用户在KTV包房中演唱的同步到唱Kapp，让没有到场的朋友能实时收听的功能，诸如此类的功能没有戳中用户所以也并没有发扬光大。为什么？中国人在K歌这件事情上，甚少有人在认真欣赏其他人演唱，再说场外欣赏，就更没有必要了。

K歌在西方仍是非主流

尽管卡拉OK在东方是娱乐方式中的王者，但到了西方势头就弱得多。在西方，卡拉OK也是当地东方移民圈子里的游乐方式。

西方并不缺少爱翻唱歌曲的年轻人，为什么卡拉OK文化在西方流行不起来？

卡拉OK之所以能在中国流行，是因为中国人发现了用它来作“局”的价值。中国人善于做圈子，更善于在饭局上做圈子，还特别喜欢在熟人和熟人之间扩展关系。KTV的模式，特别适合自己和朋友带上各自的朋友，互相认识，拓展关系圈。但这是东方人的文化。

虽然我们默认西方是一个开放社会，但文化融合并不是容易的事。在西方国家，白人文化是主流，他们的“局”不在K厅，承载这个功能的是派对。所以西方的年轻人喜欢午夜去泡吧，或者去酒吧喝酒聊天，喜欢去郊游、户外活动。对于成长西方文化之下的年轻人来说，这些都是主流的娱乐方式，都是他们习惯的、固执地坚守的生活方式。

西方市场上并非没有K歌软件和K歌包房，只是这些店大多开在东方人聚集的地方，消费人群也多是东方人。许多西方人想唱K，就必须去到东方人活动的地方，不方便是他们玩起K歌并不比泡吧嗨的一个原因。

与唱K门店相比，K歌app的情况好些。在西方，类似Sing、StarMaker、Red Karaoke等K歌软件已经铺开市场。即使如此，使用者也多是亚裔或者爱好翻唱的年轻人，并非主流人群。

说到底，东方文化和拉美文化、中东文化等一样，在西方只是众多外来文化中的一种，对于西方人来说可以尝试，但只是尝鲜。东方文化作为弱势文化向强势的西方文化传播很有难度，再怎么奋斗也很难成为西方的主流文化，更别说唱K只是东方人众多生活方式中，很单薄的一块。

西方文化中有固有的各种娱乐方式，卡拉OK可以被接纳，但注定只会是一种小众的娱乐方式。
