MYSPACE LAUNCHES KARAOKE SERVICE IN JAPAN

Online social-networking titan MySpace on Sunday launched a karaoke service in Japan, expanding its amateur crooner channel to a nation rich with lovers of the pastime.

“If you had told me years ago we would launch an online karaoke site in Japan, I would have told you it is like selling ice to the Eskimos,” said MySpace Karaoke general manager Nimrod Lev.

“Boy was I wrong. It seems like the land of karaoke has nothing even close to that. We met with all the leading companies there and they loved what they saw.”

MySpace Karaoke lays claim to being the world’s “largest user-generated music service,” logging more than eight million visitors since it launched in May of last year in Canada and the United States.
