What is this about so called 'special KTV's being just called KTVs in China, where as KTV without special ladies, are just called Karaoke? I dunno where someone heard this from, but if it is anywhere close to being true it must be a regional thing. Having lived in China and visited HK, Macao, Beijing, Guilin, etc etc, I have never heard of this. Karaoke is pretty much just called KTV, during conversations in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. Having also visited KTV bars, and what you could consider to be Special KTVs (we called them Chicken Clubs, and also had nightclubs, and hookers). I'm not denying such places exist, just that is not what they are called, at least universally on the mainland. --SnakeSeries 18:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your totally right, I'm Chinese and no one calls any KTV 'Karaoke'. 219.144.206.114 (talk) 11:58, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Image:Ktv.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
I have observed one example of a karaoke box in the San Francisco, CA, USA, area: the Music Tunnel KTV, located at the Pacific East Mall, southeast corner of Pierce Street and Central Avenue, Richmond near the El Cerrito city limit east of Interstate 80. From casual observation of the lobby songlist, the Music Tunnel appears reasonably well-stocked with Japanese-, Korean-, and Chinese-language song tracks, in addition to English-language tracks commonly used in karaoke bars throughout the Bay Area. Unlike some K-boxes in Asia, the Music Tunnel, which maintains a no-alcohol policy, has no K-bar in the lobby. Are there sufficient examples of establishments in the United States similar to the Music Tunnel to warrant a brief description of rules commonly encountered? B. C.
