[Russian] Hi everyone! [English] So you probably thought that karaoke was just a huge phenomenon
in Asia, right? But it's actually really popular with girls in countries like Russia, Belarus,
Ukraine and other parts of the former Soviet Union as well.
So karaoke is a Japanese invention but with the breakup of the Soviet Union back in the early 1990s,
the number of karaoke
clubs proliferated in this region and it's a really fun way to spend a night out with
a couple of beautiful local girls so I definitely encourage you guys to go and do that.
And yeah, dare to sing don't be scared! Pick up the mic even if you're in front of a huge
crowd because actually one of the idiosyncrasies here which differs from what I've experienced
with karaoke in Asia is that basically the mic is passed around a large hall or even
something that's a bit like a nightclub and it's not in secluded booths like private booths
like you would normally have in Asian karaoke culture so definitely you can't be nervous
you have to be the real man and pick up and sing and definitely take advantage
of that have a lot of fun with your friends whether they're foreign or local and give
it a blast. Dare to sing!
