Karaoke bar owners saw a peak in interest in 1996. In an attempt to spark a revival, karaoke bars like Tokyo's [Aria Blu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-resort-casino) are offering private and themed rooms, each with a different atmosphere. They're targeting the 20-30 demographic as well as business people looking for an entertaining night out.

Unlike the U.S. where Karaoke is an afterthought, Aria Blu offers theme rooms such as "[Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candlelight)", "botanical" and "lagoon" and offer, in addition to alcohol, [gourmet meals provided by outstanding chefs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobby-bar).
