EN: karaoke
The national sport of the Philippines. It's the main event at every birthday party, reunion, and random Tuesday night. It's where your shy tita transforms into a rockstar, your tito sings "My Way" against everyone's advice, and you finally get a score of 98 on a song you've been practicing. Videoke, anyone?
Borrowed from Japanese カラオケ (karaoke), from 空 (kara, "empty") + オーケストラ (ōkesutora, "orchestra").
Often used interchangeably with "videoke" in the Philippines, which specifically refers to systems with video displays.
