<< review queue entry 63358 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) I can't find evidence for "disco hall" (but let's check this a bit further) 2) At least in Taiwan, 歌廳 were were venues for concerts featuring singers singing popular songs. ABC says "〈mus.〉 place where professional performers sing popular songs" (which was copied from the Far East dictionary). TP ~ 沒有多久，緊鄰中華路的成都路、衡陽路、西寧南路，相繼成立了「康樂」、「自由之音」、「京都」等歌場，歌廳規模初具，每場聽眾約為二、三百人，入場券包括喝茶在內，約為三、四元新台幣。名歌手則增加了高梅影、高曼麗、趙莉莉和原住民歌手派娜娜，延續了台北歌壇的風光。 Not long after, on nearby Chengdu Road, Hengyang Road, and Hsining South Road, there appeared such singing halls as Kangle, Sounds of Freedom, and Capital. The halls were small, with seating capacities of about 200 or 300. The price of admission, which included tea, ran to about NT$3-4. New stars included Kao Mei-ying, Kao Man-li, Chao Li-li and the Taiwanese Aboriginal singer Pai Na-na, who would carry the torch of live vocal performance in Taipei through a new era. 3) Wiktionary ~ karaoke hall, karaoke box, KTV 4) "For karaoke, actually a localized translation did exist (in earlier decades): 练歌房, which means Singing Practice House. But that is just a dull and stiff translation so we tend to say the fun and lovely-sounding 卡拉OK instead (if you try googling the word 练歌房, the top results would all be related to karaoke apps on mobile platforms, so let’s say the term has not died out entirely). 歌厅 (Singing Hall) is also used but never prevalent." https://www.quora.com/Why-isn%E2%80%99t-there-a-proper-Chinese-word-for-%E2%80%9Ckaraoke%E2%80%9D |
