8 Aug 2010 - Besides instant noodles and Hello Kitty, karaoke probably has had the biggest cultural impact on Hong Kong of any Japanese inventions. Periodic large-scale karaoke competitions have been held in the city in 1993, 1995, 1999 and 2005, but letting the contest series die a quiet death was probably a good idea. However, the organizers think differently, because the competition is back. The joint Japanese - Hong Kong karaoke competition has just been announced by the Japanese consulate, the Japanese Club and Japanese Universities Alumni Society of Hong Kong. As set by tradition, Hong Kong contestants must sing Japanese songs, while their Japanese counterparts will do Canto-pop and putonghua hits. According to experts, the results have been likened to the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
