In the US it is mainly setup in bars on a stage, therefore extreme public embarrassment if you mess up.
This is just false. I live in LA and theres a million asian style karoke places in ktown. Im sure this is the same for Little Tokyo as well.

I'm not embarrassed in the least in letting everyone know just how badly I sing
