Exploring the Trend of Shortened Karaoke: JOYSOUND's 'Sabi-Kara' Rankings Reveal Popular Choices

The Rise of 'Sabi-Kara': A New Karaoke Trend

In recent years, a fresh perspective has emerged within the world of karaoke, driven by the younger generations' desire for efficient and enjoyable experiences during limited time slots. The focus is shifting towards 'タイパ' or Time Performance, an approach that encourages maximizing joy and satisfaction from the limited time available. JOYSOUND, a leading karaoke brand operated by Exing Co., recently spotlighted this trend by introducing the 'Sabi-Kara' concept and releasing its rankings based on various age groups.

What is 'Sabi-Kara'?

'Sabi-Kara' is a novel karaoke style that allows participants to skip over the intro and sing only the most exhilarating part of a song – the chorus. With many songs fitting into a one-minute timeframe, this style is ideal for group karaoke sessions where competition for the mic is fierce. This time-efficient concept is not merely a shortcut; it emphasizes fun and allows everyone to enjoy a variety of songs quickly.

Participating in 'Sabi-Kara' can transform a traditional karaoke outing into a more enriching experience, making it possible for everyone to enjoy a sense of connection through music, even within limited time. As JOYSOUND conducts its rankings for the most popular songs likely to be featured in the 'Sabi-Kara' sessions, the results have highlighted some fascinating trends in song preferences.
