ヒトカラ好きに朗報！ 1人カラオケ専門店が神田に登場 Karaoke room for one person is open in Kanda

Some people just want to sing alone but feel ashamed to go into a normal karaoke shop where people usually go with a group.
Living in Japan you most likely find yourself living in the apartment and do not want to sing so loud as your neighbours living so close.

Working as a part time in a karaoke shop I saw some customers singing alone esp. daytime. I guess some people feel embarrassed to go to karaoke alone but the number of people who would travel to this karaoke all the way to feel comfortable going in the shop seems small. And, all the more, what is the difference between 1) going into a normal karaoke shop and feeling nervous checking-in alone "inside the shop" and 2) going into the one person karaoke shop feeling nervous when "entering the shop".
I also see some manga( cartoon)/internet cafe have small karaoke rooms targeting one person or a couple.
For the PR article the public is aware of this karaoke place but this may not bring many customers.

The competition will be still very fierce unless this alone karaoke shop capable of offering very unique services to differentiate itself from others e.g. the price.

一人で歌いたい人はいるが、みんなこのカラオケに行くわけではない。カラオケでバイトしていた時、日中に一人で歌っていたお客さんもいた。普通のカラオケ店の中に入ってチェックインで一人で恥ずかしい思いをする人は、一人カラオケの店に入る時にも結局恥ずかしい思いをするのだと思う。漫画喫茶でも一人やカップル向けにカラオケルームを提供しており、競争は激しいのではないか。
