For a Singapore karaoke, it’s good enough. The Cuppage Plaza one is more updated (I think) and it has songs up to June 2009 as of now. The update frequency varies from outlet to outlet. There are expensive looking Japanese restaurants and izakayas there (though there are karaoke pubs there too), and as it’s just beside Centrepoint and OG, well, the area is really accessible and easily identifiable, unlike the Ming Arcade one. The facilities there aren’t too bad and the place actually feels homely, but it’s located at a rather “down-the-less-trodden-road” kind of place, so, well, don’t blame me if you don’t like the atmosphere there.Īs for Cuppage Plaza, it’s located at the basement, and as the Plaza have a clean and civilised feel to it, it has a more welcome atmosphere.


If you go to the Ming Arcade one at night, beware of lots of smoke and a run-down building. And out of the two, Cuppage Plaza is the newest, less shady one. I’m not sure if the Bedok ones offer Japanese song selection, but I guess to be safe, you’ll be best off going to the first two. Out of these four, I’ve only been to the first two. They have four outlets in Singapore – Cuppage Plaza (newest), Ming Arcade, Bedok Central, Simpang Bedok. So I shall bear you the agony of reading through a long adventure and give you the details you want. Okay fine, I know you want the details – WHERE exactly is it and WHAT exactly do they offer. Of course, the usual places (aka K Box or Party World) do offer Japanese songs, but that’s too limited for someone like me (oh no, elitist). So, I went on a quest to find a karaoke place that offers Japanese songs in Singapore. So, I like to sing (though I’m not any good), and of course I like to sing Japanese songs (because Japanese songs make up my entire music library), and of course, I would like to sing at a karaoke place.
