Karaoke Kan
Famed as the location of Bill Murray's singing session in Lost in Translation (aim for rooms 601 and 602 if you're on a pilgrimage), the crowd at this Shibuya karaoke hub tends to be young and partial to a few too many drinks. Groups of 10 or more will find their rooms swathed in disco lights and luminous paint, and with booming sound systems, while smaller rooms are standard fare – leather benches and plain walls push the focus towards the central television. Order drinks – and tambourines – via the intercom.
