'Karaoke Around the World is a book for our times... impressively grounded in solid research, both archival and ethnographic... a wonderful, thorough and well-balanced study of the multi-faceted quality of something that is both commodity and technology, culture and music, interactive and self-expressive, local and global... this is an excellent book to teach in classes on Japan, global and East Asian popular culture, ethnomusicology, and mass media... impressive and interactive!' - Journal of Japanese Studies
