Finally! Convenience Store with Karaoke Opens in Japan This Month

Japan is famous for its convenience stores. They’re so, um, convenient. The country is also famous for karaoke parlors. And this month, they’re finally coming together. Literally. On April 17, all yono app “Family Mart Plus Karaoke Dam” is opening in front of the south exit at Kamata Station in Tokyo.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); According to an official Family Mart press release, visitors can buy snacks at the convenience store go rummy and then take those into the “self service” style karaoke boxes. Traditionally, you are not allowed to bring in outside food and drink into karaoke parlors and need to order food and beverages there. Since ordering food might be slightly more expensive holy rummy than convenience store food, this might cut down on your booze and snacks bill. I hope they figure out a way to allow customers to bring karaoke into the convenience store.
