(Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) will conduct the fourth broadcast of its home karaoke soundbar, "KARA×KARA," on the television shopping channel QVC, starting at 10:00 AM on Thursday, April 2, 2026. This product, which continues to see growing cumulative sales, brings professional-grade sound quality and the vast music library of JOYSOUND to your living room simply by connecting it to your TV. It is a new-era entertainment gadget that solves the traditional issues of home karaoke—such as "audio lag" and "unsatisfactory sound quality"—by utilizing broadcasting station expertise and the latest technology.

■ Background of the Broadcast: Why "KARA×KARA" is Being Chosen Now

"Home entertainment" has become firmly established following the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these options, the demand for karaoke, which can be enjoyed with family and friends, remains high. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a focus on "time performance" (Taipa), creating a need for an environment where people can sing whenever they want with zero travel time. "KARA×KARA" is equipped with a 2.1ch 100W high-quality sound speaker supervised by a major home appliance manufacturer. It is a device designed to be the centerpiece of the living room, serving not just as a karaoke machine, but also as a soundbar perfect for watching movies and listening to music.

■ Three Innovative Points of "KARA×KARA"

No Audio Lag with Patented "Low-Latency System" The biggest stressor in home karaoke—the issue of "hearing your own voice with a delay"—has been minimized through proprietary, patented technology. Two wireless microphones are included, allowing you to enjoy duets from the very day it arrives.

Unlimited Singing with Over 20,000 Authentic JOYSOUND Tracks By registering for the dedicated app (1,078 yen per month, tax included), you get unlimited access to over 20,000 songs, ranging from the latest hits to nostalgic classics. Approximately 300 new songs are added automatically every month, ensuring the library always covers the latest trends.

Multi-Functional with Android TV Equipped with a high-performance CPU, it runs video streaming services like YouTube, TVer, and Prime Video smoothly. The possibilities for use are endless, from enjoying movies between karaoke sessions to practicing songs along with YouTube videos.
