Back then, all of the nominees for the Mandarin Songs albums have Roman Spelling in the lyrics, since some people here can't read Mandarin characters. (Click on the picture for a larger size.) Let's discuss about Mandarin songs first. So if you guys have an input about what karaoke albums that you saw or you like when you were young, just leave comments below. The 'nominees' were just based on Jakarta area only. Oh, and since I live in Jakarta, Indonesia, I only analyzed in this area. Why is Indonesia famous for the piracy thing? But, oh well, it happened. Sometimes, I felt a little embarrassed by it. Like, come on. Besides, LDs are in the end of its era anyway. Which is why, back then in the 2000s here in Jakarta, Indonesia, LDs are transferred to zillions of pirated VCDs so that people have access to karaoke at home with a cheap price. Four, according to my parents, LDs are very very expensive, which is why people are selective in buying LDs back then, and having only a few-but-the-songs-are-very-very-great collection. Three, people like to choose their favorite in one disc so that they don't need to buy everything else. This point must be the same with the first.

The reason I made this analysis because: One, people like to sing, definitely. I never watched any VHS tapes before, so I don't know. I was born in the 1990s, so I was raised on the LaserDisc era. I somehow am little amazed by this analysis that I made. Besides eating, shopping and going to the movies, visiting KTV outlets (not the ones with 'happy endings') has. Since Taiwanese is not very known to Indonesians here.

Since I live in Indonesia, technically, most of the karaoke series albums that I have are in Mandarin Chinese or English.
