KARAOKE GLANZA Shibuya道玄坂: A Premium Karaoke Destination

Scheduled Opening Date: September 17, 2026, at 5 PM
Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, just 1 minute walk from Keio Inokashira Line Shibuya West Exit

The well-known karaoke operator, Standard Co., Ltd. (Tokyo Minato-ku, CEO: Katsuaki Kobayashi), is thrilled to announce the launch of its high-end karaoke brand, KARAOKE GLANZA, through the rebranding of the JOYSOUND Shibuya Dogenzaka store. This new establishment aims to provide a sophisticated karaoke space tailored for working professionals.

New Brand Ethos

KARAOKE GLANZA is designed with the modern working professional in mind. The brand addresses common complaints, such as dissatisfaction with sound quality and the desire for better food options. By re-evaluating sound systems, ambiance, pricing, and service quality, GLANZA strives to provide a refreshed karaoke experience. This opening follows successful launches in Kyobashi and Nagoya Nishiki, and it anticipates becoming a staple for after-hours dining and celebrations in Shibuya.

Thoughtfully Designed Karaoke Experience

• - Acoustics & Ambience: The venue features 20 rooms equipped with high-quality condenser microphones and an advanced sound system that elevates the karaoke experience. In addition to JOYSOUND, the latest DAM systems are also available. For larger groups, a party room accommodating up to 25 people is available.
• - Pricing Structure: The pricing offers a flat-rate room option called ‘Class G,’ inclusive of all-you-can-drink for 6-8 guests, priced at ¥8,800 during the day and ¥12,100 at night (tax included). The rate stays the same regardless of the number of guests within the limit, and a dedicated bar area adds to the convivial atmosphere, making it a great choice for drinks and conversation.
• - Cuisine: Rather than merely serving side dishes, the menu emphasizes food as an integral part of the karaoke experience. With a focus on premium meat dishes, the offerings are designed to enhance both singing and socializing activities within the space.

CEO's Statement

Katsuaki Kobayashi noted, “By transcending the standard boundaries of karaoke brands, we are creating a venue with customer experience at its core. The GLANZA rebranding of the previous JOYSOUND Shibuya Dogenzaka store is a testament to our commitment to providing top-notch acoustics, cuisine, and quality ambience. We aim to foster a welcoming space for both returning guests and newcomers.”

JOYSOUND Connection

Operating as JOYSOUND, the company has built a strong foundation in karaoke management, which informs the creation of this new brand. GLANZA Shibuya Dogenzaka is the third branch following successful openings in other major locations. Existing JOYSOUND members can still use their membership cards and benefit from ongoing discounts and rewards systems after the transition.
