Karaoke

Karaoke (Karaoke from kara, "empty", and okesutora, "orchestra") is a popular Japanese past-time of singing a favourite song with support of a pre-recorded backing track (with or without the lead vocals) complete with a microphone and sound system to really amplify that personal sound! Whether you want to sing like the stars, or sing your own rendition of your favourite anime or J-pop tunes, there's something for everyone in Animania's Karaoke sessions.

Battle it out with another singer, or gather a group of friends and sing your hearts out. Even if you're not the singing sort, come along and join in the fun!

In this truly fun and liberating form of entertainment, anyone can sing those songs they've always loved or dreamed of performing - indeed, it's when that performer in you can get out and shine!

Karaoke Competition

Every year, Animania Festival Weekend features a Karaoke Competition where the finalists present their talented renditions of the latest anime songs.
