Japan The karaoke machine was invented by Daisuke Inoue in Kobe, Japan in the 1971.
Daisuke Inoue of Japan invented the first karaoke machine but failed to patent it. Karaoke means "empty orchestra" in Japanese, coming from "kara" meaning "empty" and "oke", a shortening of "okesutora" the Japanese word for "orchestra". Since Inoue failed to patent the machine, however, the patent was legitimately granted to Roberto del Rosario of the Philippines, who is therefore the patented creator of karaoke machines. Thus, Japan is the nation that invented karaoke and Philippines is the nation that holds the patent right to karaoke machines.
