Absolutely the coolest karaoke bar I've been to in Japan. It's a little expensive but definitely worth every yen. The live band is amazing and plays their heart out on every song. I highly recommend to anyone who loves to sing and is in Rapongi. You'll feel like the lead singer of an awesome band and the crowd participation is awesome. They have the same songs as every other karaoke bar so sing your favorites and meet some awesome people.
Really cool place with a live band playing while you karaoke. Song rotation is group-based.. They charge an hourly rate per person per hour plus one drink per hour (around 1000 yen each), so it ended up being around 7500 yen per person for our 2 hour stay (2 hours + 3 drinks). We wanted to stay an additional half hour, but would have been charged an additional hour, and unfortunately, they could not prorate it. They don't list any cocktails on the menu, but you can always request. However, I would stick with the hard liquor. Overall, a bit of a pricy experience, but fun and wish we had something like this in the States!
A huge stage, with lights, fog, 4 band members, and you singing. For a karaoke fan, this is a life time experience. The band is phenomenal, and had amazing range. Those awkward guitar solos in your favorite song? Yeah, just turn and watch your band as the nights focus on them and then absolutely shred even improvise. Huge credit to the staff for distributing the request queue across groups so everyone gets a turn!
What fun! It’s karaoke all right, but with a live band at your back. The band was super talented, the wait staff were great, and the crowd friendly. Plenty of English language songs available. It’s less expensive early in the night, and you get more turns to sing when the bar hasn’t gotten crowded yet. If you want a lot of turns at the microphone, plan to go between 8 and 10 PM.
One of the best Karaokenights of my life! With an amazing live Band! There is a charge per person per hour, so it can get a bit expensive if you stay longer, but still sooo worth it!
