Defining the News
Who really invented the karaoke? If you ask the Wall Street Journal, it’s Shigeichi Negishi, who died of natural causes on Jan. 26 at age 100 —a fact Japan’s own Kyodo News reported just recently.
The WSJ said Negishi was the “first to automate and commercialize the singalong in 1967, although he never patented his creation.” His “Sparko Box” first came to the market in 1967 and is “recognized as the earliest” karaoke machine by the All-Japan Karaoke Industrialist Association. Another man is often more widely credited for inventing the karaoke machine, Kyodo News says—Daisuke Inoue, a Japanese musician, released the 8 Juke karaoke machine to the market in 1971.
Fun fact: Del Rosario was a founding member of the Filipino amateur jazz band “The Executives Band Combo,” headed by the politician Raúl Sevilla Manglapus and architect Francisco “Bobby” Mañosa. The band started in 1957 and played in gigs all over the world, jamming with the likes of Duke Ellington and Bill Clinton.
