Best karaoke spots in Kuala Lumpur 吉隆坡最棒的卡拉OK 吉隆坡最棒的卡拉OK

Meeting the karaoke-hungry demands of its people, KL isn’t short of karaoke joints. Whether it’s big chains with state-of-the-art equipment (and all-you-can-eat buffet – with the option of booze) or roadside stalls with their own makeshift karaoke equipment (thanks to YouTube, all you really need is a laptop, Internet connection, projector, screen and a mic), a KLite’s inevitable urge to blow off steam and sing for an hour or so – even when alone – is always met in the city. Here’s where to get your singing on:

Neway CEO

Neway CEO has all the fixings: elegant, non-tacky interiors, large rooms, and quality sound and services with a good selection of English, Malay, Chinese, and K- and J-pop hits. Prices may be a bit steep (evening prices start from RM58-RM70++ per person on weekdays; expect to pay more on weekends), but if you’re serious about karaoke (and are fussy about where you practice your ‘craft’), Neway CEO is the way to go. Tip: Take the day off work and make full use of the weekday morning sessions for a fraction of the evening price.

Red Box

A leading karaoke chain, one of Red Box’s strengths lies in its ubiquity and accessibility – all outlets are in a mall, which is perfect because KLites love malls. Food and room conditions may vary according to outlet, but you can be assured of quality equipment and good song selection that gets updated frequently with the latest chart toppers (but you’ll also find a lot of oldies). When in doubt, visit the outlet at The Gardens – the rooms are spacious and pristine. Price starts from RM58++ (Sun-Thu, 6pm-12midnight). Tip: Go with a student so you can make full use of the student rates. It’s also worthwhile to sign up as a member (free karaoke sessions on your birthday!).

Loudspeaker

Singing in a big group on a budget? Loud Speaker is one of the cheapest karaokes in town (RM28 nett on weeknights), with good songs (you’ll find everything from Maroon 5 to classic Take That), spacious rooms and a decent system. Tip: If you go in a group of four or more, at RM208 you get 12 bottles of Tiger beer and free refills on tidbits and selected drinks. How’s that for a party?

Sang your heart out in KL? Then it’s time to discover the infinitely deep world of Japanese karaoke – here are a few spots to get you started.

1Kara Akihabara

Designed exclusively for solo singers, 1Kara is where to perfect your warbling before showing off in front of friends. This Akihabara branch is especially attractive for those looking to practice anime songs.

Moshi Moshi Box Harajuku Information Center

For first-time visitors to Tokyo, this is the most convenient place to find out everything you need to know about Japan’s pop-culture mecca of Harajuku. But it’s also where you can put your singing skills to the test – and best of all, it’s free. A recently opened tourist information centre, Moshi Moshi Box houses the Harajuku Kawaii Room, designed by kawaii impresario Sebastian Masuda and complete with an easy-to-use karaoke machine. You simply need to go on down to the Box and sing your heart out.

Misono

First opened in 1956 as a lavish banquet complex, Osaka’s Misono is now home to around 40 tiny bars – including a few karaoke joints – creating an atmosphere not unlike that of Shinjuku’s famed Golden Gai bar quarters. Trendy counter-culture types regularly hold concerts and other events here as well.

吉隆坡絲毫不缺卡拉OK歡唱地點,絕對能夠滿足卡拉OK迷的饑渴需求。無論是擁有先進伴唱設備的大型連鎖店(有自助吧,另外提供開酒服務),或是搭設臨時卡拉OK設備的路邊攤(幸虧有YouTube,你只需一台筆電、網路、投影機、屏幕和一支麥克風就可以盡情熱唱),K歌人士如果想盡情釋放壓力,即使一個人也想歡唱一兩個小時的話,吉隆坡總能讓你滿足。以下介紹幾處可讓你歡唱的地點:

Neway CEO

Neway CEO集所有優點於一身:室內裝潢典雅脫俗,房間寬敞,音響效果一流的及有英文、馬來文、中文、韓文和日文精選熱門歌曲的豐富選擇。價格可能略高(平日的夜間價格從每人58令吉到70令吉起跳;週末更貴),但如果你重視卡拉OK的質量的話(而且對磨練歌喉的地點特別挑剔),那麼Neway CEO是不二之選。建議你休一天假,利用平日的早上時段來這裡高歌一番,比夜場價格便宜的多。

Red Box是著名的卡拉OK連鎖店,優勢在於店面數量多,交通便利。所有分店都設在購物中心內,是尤其喜愛購物中心的吉隆坡人的理想唱歌之地。雖然食物和包廂條件會視分店而有差異,但儘管放心,他們都使用一流的設備,而且豐富的歌曲庫會按照最新排行榜經常更新(但也有很多老歌)。如果不相信,你可以造訪The Gardens分店,房間優雅寬敞。價格從58令吉起跳(週日到週四晚上6點到午夜12點時段)。實用建議:與學生同行就能充分享受學生優惠價的好處。註冊成為會員也獲不同優惠(生日當天更會贈送免費歡唱時段!)
