Trends: karaoke, an activity that appeals to French people of all generations
(France 2)
In France, karaoke is enjoying growing success. “The Lakes of Connemara”, “I’ll go where you go”… So many titles sung with family or friends for an evening. Close-up on a trend straight from Japan.
Who has never dreamed of experiencing the great thrill? The time of a song, in front of a few privileged friends… or not. In the city as well as on screen with Ben Lahcene’s new popular comedy in theaters on March 20, karaoke is making a comeback. In Paris, a restaurant has attracted anonymous singers for 40 years. Now, the younger generation has taken over the place. To take the plunge in front of 300 people, it’s best not to be shy.
A practice imported from Asia
Considered a little kitsch, the karaoke phenomenon has become fashionable again, partly thanks to social networks. Thousands of amateur musicians invite you to sing with them. Arnaud Studer, founder of BAM Karaoké, instead suggests singing in private rooms. A concept imported from Asia, which allows you to dust off the practice. Karaoke continues to thrill generations of one-night stand singers.
