Most people’s vocal stylings tend not to go down too well beyond the soundproofed confines of a karaoke booth—and when it comes to annoying your neighbors, home karaoke machines are on a par with owning a yap-happy Chihuahua. But what’s a girl to do when she comes home liquored-up and with an urgent need to emote via power ballad? The people at JTT have the answer: their Urusakunai (“not noisy”) Kara OK! Mute Mic allows you to belt out classics like “All By Myself” at 2am, without worrying about bothering anybody else with your emotional pain. Designed with Wii karaoke games in mind, the microphone cups your mouth, absorbing most of your off-key midnight caterwauling.
Urusakunai Kara OK! Mute Mic, ¥3,480 (excluding shipping). Available via JTT online: http://meturl.com/mutemic
