Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

Delavar and Wolfgang Kainz Received: 13 June 2016; Accepted: 19 August 2016; Published: 25 August 2016 Abstract: With the development of service industry and cultural industry, urban leisure and entertainment services have become an important symbol of the city and the driving force of economic and social development. Karaoke, a typical form of urban entertainment, is immensely popular throughout China, and the number of karaoke bars is expected to keep growing in the future. However, little is known about their spatial distribution in the urban space and their association with other location-specific factors. Based on the geospatial entity data and business statistics data, we demonstrate a clustered pattern of 530 karaoke bars in Nanjing by means of point pattern analysis and cluster analysis in GIS. Furthermore, we identify the distribution of population, transportation network, and commercial centers as the three determinants underlying the formation of the pattern.

  • 19Th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS on ACOUSTICS MADRID, 2-7 SEPTEMBER 2007
    19th INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS ON ACOUSTICS MADRID, 2-7 SEPTEMBER 2007 KARAOKE: Another 2 edges acoustic source ID1553 PACS: 43.50.Sr Elizondo-Garza, Fernando J.; Villalobos-Luna, José de Jesús Acoustics Laboratory, Facultad de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. P.O Box 28 “F”, Cd. Universitaria, San Nicolás, 66450, N.L., México; [email protected] ; [email protected] ABSTRACT Historical aspects of the social and technical evolution of the karaoke are presented in this paper. The implications of such entertainment device as a noise source are analyzed, mainly when it is used in inadequate conditions and spaces. The problems generated by the international introduction of Karaokes for home use is also discussed. I. INTRODUCTION Karaoke -in Japanese カラオケ- etymologically comes from the Japanese words: kara (空) that it means "emptiness" and oke, Japanese abbreviation of the word ōkesutora (オーケストラ) that it means "orchestra". Therefore, karaoke means "empty orchestra". Which implies "without orchestra", that is, that the singer does not need an orchestra to sing. [1]. The word "karaoke", that in the past was only included in the Japanese dictionaries, now can be found, among others, in the “Oxford Dictionary” or in the Dictionary of the Real Academia Española.[2] Karaoke is an A/V system in which a person sings to the microphone accompanied by an audio recording in which the voice of the original singer was eliminated. The letters of the songs appear in a screen emphasizing the words that will be sung, so that they can be followed without memorizing the lyrics of the song.
